National Indoor RV Center Dallas TX | Chassis Maintenance Experience | CG & Facility Tour | EP264

Come along with Sue & I to see the way all RV shops should operate. National Indoor RV Centers "Dallas-TX Location" is technically in Lewisville TX. This is one of 6 locations they have nationwide. We were able to make an appointment for our 60k mile MAJOR FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS SERVICE. We traveled the day prior to stay overnight in their RV Campground with 50 amp service & water. Five dump stations, with flush/fresh water and compressed air are available along their main building north alleyway for on site customers. By 8am the next day, our rig was pulled in and being worked on, and we were done on time and soon on our way!

As a prior owner of a retail business with some heavy experience with what’s it’s like to be the “provider” of great customer service, let me tell ya….that repair facility is VERY fortunate to have someone like you to document and brag about them. Very FEW people bother to make positive “noise.” We dream about RV ownership and life someday. There are tons of YT vlogs on RV life. Yours is easily our favorite. Thanks for another great vid!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks for the kind words RollTide. I hope what the video's show is that this place understands the challenges of traveling and living in an RV. They understand honesty and trying to address and take care of you issues is a breath of fresh air in the RV repair world we all desire. I do not expect any of this to come cheap. The investment NIRVC has in place ready for me to use when the time comes has a cost. For Sue & I, the most expensive RV repairs have been at the places that really didn't fix it, and I had to have it done again!

[@titanbubble98w13]

You guys have really helped me out when it comes to deciding whether RV’n is something I really want to do. You provide the necessary details on what it means to RV from a maintenance standpoint. You’ve opened my eyes and I’m going to say it’s not what I hoped it to be. EVERYTHING cost so darn much money I can’t imagine how people can afford RV’n. My mindset before watching your videos was that it would be cheaper to live in an RV’n and travel than it would to live I a house and travel. There is a lot to consider for sure….thanks.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

We definitely wanted to open up folks minds to the reality of Class A Motorhome Travel. It is really straining our budget. A DIESEL TRUCK & 5th wheel is way more bang for the buck and cheaper. A fifth wheel with a GAS TRUCK is even more economical. But those are a very different style of travel. Everything has trade offs. Once a person can identify the RV Style that fits there pocket book, study up on those youtube channels that share their expenses and how much that style cost! Good luck buddy.

Thanks for showing us our RV being repaired in Dallas. Ours was the one @ 4:00 getting the refrigerator replaced. The motor caught fire when we were near Sydney, NS. I have followed your travels from before I got my RV! Still following for campground tips and trips.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

So glad to hear from you!!! Question: Did you have to have the windshield removed? Did it break? How much? Did you put in the same model/cu. ft. size/brand? How old was it? Any symptoms along the way? Would really appreciate me & our viewers learning something here!

[@user-qt7ff2os7i]

Story begins sitting out at the picnic table near Sydney, NS. I heard some beeping which turned out to be the smoke alarms inside. When I went in the coach was full of electrical smoke (was an electrician) so I turned off everything and opened windows. As it was just the fridge motor we got lucky except for the soot now covering every surface. Bought a small dorm type fridge and started back to OK. NIRVC was great with communication which we started during our trip south. Took two+ months to order the fridge and windshield before they gave me a date to bring it in. You saw it about the first week it was there. SO to answer your questions: we elected to have the windshield replaced as it had some pitting. Not sure how old it was but why not. I do not know if they broke it removing it. We had two choices of replacements with no cabinetry needing to be heavily modified. DW picked the bigger 26 CuFt one. It does stick out about 4" more than the last one. I am the third? owner so my guess is it was the original and about 16 years old, minus the time the coach just sat around in storage. Luckily we had purchased RV Warranty when we bought the coach and it was completely covered, almost $12k otherwise.

[@mtnairedriver]

Every experience we’ve had with NIRVC from sales in Lewisville and service in Nashville has been excellent. Brett leads a great team that truly cares about its customers

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Brett Davis, the CEO of National Indoor is a smart and compassionate man that leads his management team to focus on delivering unwavering professional care and service for all his customers equally. The ones that bought from his (6) nationwide stores, the folks that bought from private sellers, and the ones that bought from other dealers that are not doing the job right. These sprawling facilities are quickly becoming "RV Mecca Mother Ship's" that are allowing all the full time and part time RVers to get repairs done in reasonable time periods, with facilities on site to hook up at. They are striving & working to become 24/7 operations to totally eliminate any anxiety about choosing the full-time RV Lifestyle. Soon, they will ALWAYS be open to take care of you night & day.

[@AWOLlcdrpeterson]

@@OurJourneyInMyles Brett Davis is a smart man and NIRVC is on the right track!!!!

[@DLTJR1959]

The service techs did a great job in finding your water pump leak. We had a hose leak repair/breakdown 20 miles from our destination on our last trip. Fortunately we found a good repair shop local to our destination that had roadside service. Their shop made the hose and made our destination with only a 3 hour delay. Another Wanderlodge coming to the rally had a water pump leak and was repaired by the same shop the next week. Sorta unique that the same two models of Wanderlodges got repaired by the same shop in the same week, and both were water pump/hose repairs. Even though we keep our coach serviced stuff happens. Really appreciate your channel. You show the true ownership experience. Again thanks so much from this long time subscriber.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Thanks for the great comment DLT. Sometimes we feel we show too much repair work on the channel, but we honestly can't exclude it. We want folks to know that you and your travel partner need to be able to accept all the "stuff" that happens along the way, and in the end, it is all so worth it! But it cannot break the budget or you will hate it. Matching the cost and level of equipment you RV in to your budget is the best thing a person can do!

[@glennandpamlang190]

Another great video! NIRV is really the ticket for getting your work done. Looking forward to next week.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

They have been keeping us all in one piece on the road since November of 2017!

[@gregmonhollen4327]

I can only imagine how expensive that was

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

The 60k scheduled maintenance was about $2750,........and the I added another $2250 of "extra" things to do. I am an "over maintainer" type of guy. We have been places where getting a repair would be a real issue. I choose to do maintenance when it is convenient to get done for me,...and sometimes that might be a little early!

[@williamboone9333]

I still take my coach to south Carolina. only one hour away. You said it was a nice place for work,I agree with you. Good luck glad you are making post.

Gaffney Freightliner in SC is an awesome maintenance & repair place. But most folks can't insert that into their route planning. With NIRVC having (6) locations nationwide and GROWING,.....I suggest folks try them out.

[@mydoggonervlife2580]

Loved your cruise videos. OMG makes us wanna go on a cruise. The only cruise we have been on was on the koningsdams sister ship the Niew Statendam. Same musical theme. Your videos brought back nice memories. Anyhow, off topic for this video, but we enjoy your content and travels. Keep it up.

Sun and Mark, Thank's for sharing your journey with us. I can't help but think, you are essentially developing a travel guide for RV Mobile Home travelers. What makes your experience different from other travel guides is that you include the maintenance and upkeep of the RV itself. In addition, to the beautiful locations and travel tips you provides. I know/hope you are keeping records or a diary of this amazing experience you'er having to be published when you guys decide to end the travel portion of your unique life. Anyone that's engaged in this extraordinary lifestyle will appreciate the knowledge that you've gained to help guide them on there "Journey" if they so choose 🥰I Luv You crazy kids❣ ;-)

[@JerseyRV]

Thanks Mark and Sue for yet another excellent video. NIRVC certainly knows how to repair rigs and take care of their owners. For us here in NJ we’re all excited about their new Washington DC location that just opened. Even though it’s small like their initial Nashville location, we hope that someday they’ll build a full service facility like their other locations. We only have Cummins in Harrisburg PA for chassis service. And they’ve taken good care of us and our Newmar Kountry Star for 12 years. Still, having a NIRVC facility close to NJ is a dream come true. Safe travels and be well!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

That seems to be the NIRVC business model. They get a manageable sized operation up & running, and when they are ready to rock & roll, they do it right!

[@Coleen_West]

Hope you both enjoyed your time in Texas and the folks down at JSC treated you right because I know how they are when it comes to filming. Safe Travels Guys!

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

Hey Adam,.......we actually canceled JSC,.....which killed me,.....I LOVE STUFF LIKE THAT! But I had a bad bout with Vertigo pop up,.........and then the surprise water pump repair so something had to give.

Great video of the maintenance needed to keep our Coach’s in top shape. If I am not mistaken that NIRVC is now on 7 days a week 12 hours a day schedules for service and repairs. The Lawrenceville, Georgia NIRVC is also on that type schedule. The only two places I take our DS is NIRVC or Freightliner. As you know I live in Central Florida so my nearest NIRCV is in Lawrenceville, so yes some planning is needed. Say that we will be at Lawrenceville for a few repairs after the Talladega NASCAR race next week. Safe travels my friends. PS I hope you received a hello from me from someone over the last few days….

[@rdrose61]

Thanks... excellent overview of this NIRVC location which is also the original and corporate headquarters. We store our coach (2015 DS) here and we live only 5 miles away, so we are there often. Sorry I didn't catch you there. You had a choice for the water pump repair in that Cummins has a Coach Care facility just 14 miles west on I-20 from Premier's location. The Cummins shop is excellent too as they are a Coach Care Facility. I'm not sure of overnight facilities at Cummins, so Premier may have been the better option while on the road. Looking forward to the continuation of the 60K service and water pump episodes in case I encounter the issue. Again, thanks.. I love these episodes as it keeps me informed as to issues and resources as our coaches are mechanically the same.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I will try to remember to look up "Cummins Coach Care Facilities" next time. We are working on our Freightliner Premier Truck episode. Everything went great there, and it was a pleasurable experience,............ for $2275.

Bummer on the water pump but I’m sure you appreciated it was identified in the shop and it didn’t break down while on the side of the road somewhere. We are dropping our coach off at Nappanee for some work in about a week and are keeping our fingers crossed that we don’t have any surprises. Thx for the comprehensive video on Dallas NIRVC.

Can you replace your diesel boiler for the tankless electric hot water heater. I don't know, I am watching you guys.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

I do not think you would ever want to do that. The folks that buy these things do not like when they have had too many features changed to NON-OEM equipment. The Oasis Boiler is a handy and awesome, versatile piece of equipment. We have NO PROPANE on board, so the water heater needs to be diesel for boondocking. In winter, the Oasis is also our furnace. A regular water heater would not have enough BTU's to heat the coach. For heating, the Oasis is ten times more powerful than the water heater function.

I'm going to take a guess that older coaches that have run in the winter on salted roads, or ones that park for extended periods where prevailing winds and hot humid temps let the moist sea air corrode things, can be a nightmare to work on and relatively simple repairs on a non rusty rig, can become huge on a rusty undercarriage. Some car shops refuse to work on cars that are beyond a certain age for same reason.
