With all the in-depth projects you guys get into. It surprises me you shy away from doing a roof on an rv. It is time consuming. But fairly simple. Keep up the good work.

[@amnik3424]

It’s just not visible in the pictures so it’s going to probably go for a lot but extra work

[@frankbart1018]

Salt water inundation is the kiss of death in a humid environment. All the metal parts, frames, axles, springs, fasteners, wiring will be flaking away inside a year. A quick flip to an unsuspecting buyer would be really unethical.

[@jgegere]

CoPart is such a game.

[@rickmarshall808]

Bed over the front seats in a class A, normally is a loft bed. Nice work! Love the video.

[@Big88Country]

There's gonna be somebody SERIOUSLY UPSET when they show up and think they are gonna drive that rig home!! They went in the hole BIG TIME!!

[@woodamnpig5431]

I already like the video one minute in and you show the price finally someone who shows the price love it

[@deuce1965]

Love watching your videos, been contemplating buying at one of these auctions in the near future. I appreciate all the info.

[@chrissiano381]

Everyone has their own type of vehicles they want to rebuild. If those here on this video, do not like what these two are doing.. Then by all means go start your own channel, and do your own thing.

[@russhammond534]

Always love the in depth walk arounds

[@ajcates9136]

I work for a rv dealer in the body shop the floors in campers are made with compressed sawdust particle board just remember that

[@inkrider95]

Looks like a outdoor grill was to close and the heat melted the fender and the vent.

[@robertjohnson4784]

Hey guys I live in Florida not far from some of the worst flood areas some trailers were almost to the roof I would buy only fresh water damage trailers the saltwater ones are gonna give you nothing but trouble think about it slide out and all electronics are going to rust stick with the aluminum frame fiberglass trailers I've dealt with flood vehicles before look everywhere there's always going to be unseen damage that later on is going to cost you money to fix Some trailers are going to have mildew in the walls that you're never going to get out we'll get people sick and you might get in trouble for selling them Definitely buyer beware I hope you guys luck

[@tennesseeterri]

our river is brackish water. high percentage of salt. something to think about. you would think a river would be fresh water but not always.

[@candockfloridapanhandle8024]

Look at the inside of the basement doors for the waterlines. Saltwater floods create much more damage than freshwater. All electrical components even wiring that was saltwater inundated needs to be replaced. It's really a job for RV pros.

[@dar7771]

I would have jumped on the heat damage. That rubber roof is rather easy to replace. Change out vents. Some dicor. AC gasket and have a new trailer.

[@UncleMikeRetro]

That heat damaged Jayco would need an entire sidewall. with all that heat on the side/roof, the fiberglass would be baked dry and crackly

[@davidholmes9643]

Hi Guys. Great video and the quality amazing. Buying any RV or boat at auction sales in Florida are big trouble. I have been told RVs clean ones just not selling and will Tank in 2023 market has had its day. What do you think? Even to you Guys who know what to do to fix problems I found it always costs a lot more in $$$s.

[@kookietherapy9398]

Cost to much to camp, and this isn't camping when you have to buy a home.

[@tompena7487]

Love watching lotta work but that's what ya'll do gitter done .

[@francoisr.7069]

I agree with duramax18, a roof is absolutely nothing compare to other rv you guys rebuilt. the question is: what hapened to that roof? internal fire? or the arizona sun???

[@leesbees2478]

The Jayco could have been parked next to a house that caught fire.

[@martylarson6911]

And if you buy this junk it has to have a salvage titles by the law

[@kelleyrancher]

The government should buy a whole bunch of these and take them to California and let the homeless live on them it's better than nothing

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

Those are crappy RVs I'll never spend money in that fiberglass crap I say make your own and not waterlogs either like these.

[@billd.8925]

A brand new one isn't worth the money. Can't imagine the problems that would pop up with a flooded one

[@peterblackmore7560]

Jayco - American flag! Jayco is an Australian company and they do manufacture in the US.

[@terrallputnam7979]

Someone in Florida may need it to live in.

[@valkyneila8945]

The Cornerstones do drive and ride nice. Those 2 mirrors alone would be couple thousand atleast.

[@61Slughi]

5:26 what's that thing crawling around the roof vent? Cockroach?

[@toddpadua6261]

what was the price on the fire damaged one and the one right after with water damage? im interested to know the prices guys

[@lrobie123]

so many people going to get scammed with this junk

[@candockfloridapanhandle8024]

Salvage auctions B4 the internet were the domain of those professionals who had shops and salvage licenses. Prices were reasonable. Beginning about 2005 they started opening up to non licensed buyers who often buy remotely only looking at photos. Prices have skyrocketed, I time and time again see people pay more that a good undamaged clean title would go for. Pros don't get auction fever, they research what a unit is worth, have a pro inspect it, calculate the repair costs including labor, transport, auction, storage, inspection, sales, title work fees and costs research the value of the repaired vehicle with a branded title, then decide what their bid is and stick to it.

[@peterparker2981]

Luka Doncic genes is surely strong here...

[@Patty747]

The last one had some roof damage in the area near the awning. It looks like the RV was knocked on it's side with that much damage to one side and the crack in the wall.

[@DavidM-sx5gp]

The roof damage are the best if they don’t have water damage. I would have been all over the burned one.

[@atracamoniusvlogs]

Saltwater flooded rv's to arab barsha south drive tour

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

That Salem is a "destination" unit, not meant for pulling like other travel trailers/5th wheels. Let me see what you end up with lol. And it gets me when people weird out about someone "living" in their RV. Whether it's full time, part time or vacation time, every one of them are "lived in" for Pete's sake. Who spends that much money for something built to "live" in just to look at it and/or bragging rights of ownership? Hilarious.

[@roberthillyard4234]

tip get a dead rat and put in the one you need smell big time no one buy you get cheep haha

[@krtbrt]

How do you get through the non-rebuildable title? I know salvage takes a state inspection.

[@lananollaig1650]

It’s a good eye opener as to the variety of water damaged vehicles, it never really crossed my mind much until I watched these videos. Thanks for the info!

[@jenniferj7588]

I would like to have the burnt one but not in Florida or the money to buy it but would be nice as a stay at home camper for guest ....

[@ericthomasz]

How much time it take to swap a tyre?

[@olikat8]

"Mr. Leadfoot" awesomely dumb thing to put on a vehicle. Cops going to troll anybody stupid enough to advertise...

[@emanuelhighwaymanthomas6123]

what ever happen to AUCTION Etiquette ? it is so sad watching these auction ghost bidders lock out serious guys. If I attend a Auction and i see more Robots bidding then humans, I leave and walk away never to return.

[@brahimbrahil1063]

Byoutifol 👊👊👊👊

[@dpl2617]

Funny to see people that have zero experience, and know nothing about RVs do an inspection of damaged units. You will get what you deserve!

[@southernslipping4225]

Y’all want one that needs nothing lol

[@clevelandmatheson983]

I hope that somebody watching your videos and is considering buying a salvage rv does their homework and not buy a big mistake

[@jnxythemouse]

Does insurance cover storm damage really? I didn’t know they total them for mild damage!

[@jeffchestnut8897]

They aren't worth the money new. Built by people who only worry about getting the required units off the line. They look nice, but built like shit.

[@gary1705]

You should wear a mask 🙈

[@manovcncanada]

Where's this place are located?

[@garyschwabel421]

They all stary out being built with the cheapest parts known to man from rubber roofs attached with Elmer's glue yes the stuff ya ate in grade school to OSB with delaminates when it gets wet stay away only ones worth anything is a airstream

[@lc4817]

Where is this??

[@ryanwolf7174]

i love how yall keep saying no power no power yall know what the issu is duh BATTERY

[@fredmaxwell9619]

Flooded vehicle in Florida, no way it is probably salt water which really causes everything to corrode.

[@martylarson6911]

I wouldn’t touch any of this total garbage. Wiring is all no good after being in salt water. This is a very bad idea.

[@thomaselliott3916]

I fell asleep you guys are boring and he also don't know your product and remember to add it cheers

[@edwardannable5468]

O it's the RV Brothers You guys need to change your Channel name

[@The_journeyy]

These guys ain't scared of no challenge 👀

[@joelek589]

If you knew the shit built quality on campers, especially the 1/2 ton/SUV towable travel trailers, you would never ever buy one. Now throw in flood, no wait, salt water flood. Same drill as the cars/trucks, flood camper is a parts only donor organ. Even more problems with RV due to delamination in wall, floor, roof/ceiling. Then you have hundreds of cheap ass crimp connectgions and splices that will consistently corroide/fail.

[@never2yield20]

LoL, the smell. Yep flood water will do that. I drove a cheap used car into a flooded creek, and it was done. The "smell" . It still ran. But the smell killed it. I gave it to a junk yard for nothing to take it off my hands. They probably made some money off of parts and the engine.

[@douglasr.c.5622]

You guys want a "damaged rv", without damage.

[@thebiggerman6975]

Do these tire kickers ever buy anything?

[@chrislambert2889]

All hail the 101st airborne 🇱🇷💯

[@carbonfibercreationswashin7213]

Im very interested in this type of job/work flipping vehicles and doing the repairs. Not in a creepy way where i want to visit your shop though. LOL. Don't need no internet creeps.

[@sserddab]

In Aus., they call them a Junk-O

[@jdanorthwest]

No no no ... if you can get one cheap it would be ok for parts but I would NOT trust one of these enough to try to camp in it.

[@h5mind373]

Although it's likely buyers can get caught up in "auction fever" and can pay way too much for a salvage vehicle, there's also the possibility you're competing with someone laundering illegal drug money. The feds might watch the million-dollar Ferrari transactions, but who's going to care about a salvage RV? Plus, the sheer number of salvage vehicles crossing the block each day means it would be impossible to track laundering anyway. We had a dentist in our town who bought and sold exotics for some "friends" in South America, but as far as I know, he was never busted for it.

[@steveng93]

Get the blue lives matter trailer lol, maybe trade out for a real American flag haha

[@joesmith7427]

WHERE IS HERE?? HERE DOESNT TELL ME ANYTHING!!

[@ryanwolf7174]

GEEEEEE no no power on RV geeee what could be

Plus, the trailers are made from plywood. (not marine plywood even)

NOPE.

[@cherjohnson5807]

Who could afford the diesel😖

[@waynefields4813]

No camper that’s ever been wet is worth it, period!!!

[@doreenduncan3411]

That Jayco was the one!! That roof is something you could've done. The awning and the other heat damaged parts can be replaced.

[@LindaBaumer-h3d]

How do you I get in touch with you

Do you have during and after repairs video?

Thanks for giving us the inside look of copart and good info on flooded vehicles, way to much risk for me.

Saltwater ruins all metal.

[@burntnougat5341]

Do the schoolbus camper conversion. Those are better than those cheapo fiberglass RVs

The truth is no RV new or old or flooded is worth it.

For private use there is no need for a Commercial Driver's License. Bus drivers that convey passengers yes but not private driving.

Was hoping to sang one of the cars and/or RV's since I'm down here doing hurricane work.. but Co-Part will not allow my account to buy any of them..

You should buy that repo tow truck that was seen at 0:55

At least there's no mustang's to buy lol.

[@keithmarks9759]

Nice.

[@timsteinkamp2245]

I'm no authority but my 1998 Monaco 36' Windsor Wall Slide that has been parked must be worth 20K if these flood units are bid up to 12K already I think these auctions must be full of scammers or hard ups. They just pressure wash them and put them on a lot? I know you will need to go through the brakes, air suspension, engine, flush the tanks and mine needs all new windows and 6 tires but then you can redesign it on a solid chassis. Incorporate solar on the roof and electrify them more.

[@horstebreedow8608]

A 1998 36 foot camper is not worth 20k in 2 years it will be worth 4 to 5 k

[@timsteinkamp2245]

@@horstebreedow8608 It is a Diesel Pusher. Not a camper. I might have to pay someone to tow it away. I talked to a friend he said it is worth a couple thousand so I'm keeping it. Supposedly it has over 20k# of weight in it.

[@horstebreedow8608]

@@timsteinkamp2245 I've got an old 83 24ft with a ford 460 and c6 transmission. It's in need of total coach rebuild, Windows etc. But you know what? I've come to the conclusion I care less about looks and more about function. Windows can be temporarily boarded over and the chassey is like new. Bathroom leaks bad and caring has seen better days but you know why an RV is way better, because they came with decent roofs. This year on black Friday I bought a 4500.00 dollar generator. It's a start but if I were you and you got plenty of space like me and you want to camping( even local camping is better than no camping). I wish it was diesel but that old 460 is sure dependable. Ya mine is worth diddly squat , the general public wouldn't give me crap for it. Even in its rough condition I've used it in the woods. Way better than a flimsy tent. Ya you got something there. 36 ft is plenty.

[@timsteinkamp2245]

@@horstebreedow8608 Another thing people don't talk about and may not be true anymore is that a motor home was considered a home and needed a search warrant to enter. Something the rich people appreciated. If you wanted privacy and security you had a motor home. Also if someone is becoming unfriendly where you are parked you just get behind the wheel and drive away. My first MH was a 28' 1972 Champion my father took his family around the USA. I was in charge of maintenance. We had seven family members and Grandma. We dropped her off in Wisconsin. I would consider a late 90's with a slide. Since the slide came out they are all basically the same.
