Great show my friend ! I listen to your videos quite often ! I like RV Nerd as well ! Thanks again for your valuable info! From Kevin in France and Florida

What their going to shut down junk manufacturers Wow. They may be doing the public service. I hear 2018 they are falling apart going down the road with poor warranties. Roofs bowing off panel trim falling down, slide-outs working out going down the road. Frame problems. People should search for RV-related problems by the manufacturer.

[@jocelynb8935]

100% agree with you and I’ve been planning to buy a used by Feb. IF and that’s a big IF the Feds rates drop it’ll be later this year. One things for sure 2024 is gonna be an interesting year.

[@MSG3726]

Appreciate you listening to the entire video of JP. If ANYONE says they truly know where interests rates are going to go, they are just lying. Hell, if I knew, I’d move investments around and fund my RV with cash!

[@anthonylan2295]

I won't be feeling bad for any of the dealers that have to close. 50 k plus markups.

[@HBRVLifestyle]

Ok

[@falconron4217]

are you talking about the all-new junk they are building after 2018

[@HBRVLifestyle]

Almost everything I have sold from 1966 airstream to a 1989 Prevost to a 2002 Weekend Warrior. They all have their problems no matter when they were built. I always say they are literal earthquakes on wheels

[@robanderson1311]

Did a trade at the end of December, we are very happy with the deal we got… super excited to try our new travel trailer… payed it off in January 😊

Pay cash or walk away

[@HBRVLifestyle]

Thanks for your opinion

[@kathyfann]

They’re gonna have to have a major sale. This is how always things work supply and demand have a big close out. Everybody loves that they’ll come down and buy something. Come on get those discounts Rolling that will move inventory.

You are the finest white man i ever seen

[@HBRVLifestyle]

Thank you

[@Trufit99]

What do you think the market will be end of this year, with no trade in

[@HBRVLifestyle]

I think Dealers will raise prices to be profitable once it hits March or April. I think the days of Dealerships taking losses on selling inventory especially 2023 year model stuff has a tight window of January and February

[@Trufit99]

@@HBRVLifestyle that makes sense I have been eyeing a 2023 toy hauler that was already a sale price of $114k last fall, now currently same unit on sale for 80k. Great price but not ready to buy :(

[@HBRVLifestyle]

@@Trufit99 If you are not ready, then you will probably pay more when you are ready. That being said, if you have somethings that need attention before you jump into the lifestyle....in the end it will be worth paying the extra money. Mostly because you will be ready to enjoy the lifestyle. I always say you have to be Ready, Willing, and Able. For those of you ready, thinking if you wait its going to crash.....those are the folks I try to push over the edge so the do not miss out and regret it later. Do not rush your process until you are Ready.

[@Trufit99]

@@HBRVLifestyle this will be my 2nd unit eventually. You spoke on Covid prices and being upside down on a units 2 years ago, that was me, I got luckily and my ex husband took the rv. I’m sure he regrets it lol a clean slate and knowledge yes I agree I rather be ready on my own time. Sucks knowing I’m missing out on amazing deal :(

[@HBRVLifestyle]

@@Trufit99 The good news is that pricing will not get out of control like Covid. So wait until you are ready and do not focus on something at the moment you cannot control. When the time comes you will have fun. Sorry to hear about the divorce

[@rosalindasanchez8131]

I’ve listened to you before and I’m listening to you right now on your latest video and I subscribed you give very good advice we’ve been looking for a fifth wheel because in our area we got flooded in our fifth wheel. mold and got serious problems, but what I wanted to do and I’ve been looking at so many different videos, I do not want to buy a Covid made fifth wheel. Could you please tell me what year I should buy as far as not getting one that was made during the time everyone had Covid because that seems to be when things were just not being made right I would appreciate it. Thank you for your videos.

[@HBRVLifestyle]

The year model is not important in this case. What you want to look for is the date of manufacturer which is normally where the weight sticker is on the driver side. Stay away if your concerned of stuff made between April of 2020 and October of 2021.

[@billray6557]

So before April 20 and after October 21 is that the time quality was bad because of the “pandemic”? Thanks

[@HBRVLifestyle]

@@billray6557 They are not "Bad" They have a bad reputation. The problem was that the parts and service industry was screwed because of parts shortages. The factories shipped out units missing stuff like airconditioners. They are like any other RV Built, Earthquake on wheels, and you will need a tool kit and sense of humor. Now the best thing to do is do not buy one manufactured on those dates if you are buying from a private party. If you buy from a dealer then, and one that actually has a real service department lol, then it doesnt matter what you buy as long as it fits your budget and floorplan

[@threeftr3349]

This is beyond COVID RV. You should also research the manufacture. Many brands have been bought out by a few big companies. It's those big companies are cutting corners on all the brands they own. "Amazing Liz' KZbin channel--she has interviewed many horrible RV ownership experiences. Also check if the frame/chassis is made by Lippert. Many are experiencing Lippert frame flex or failure which is a disaster.

[@HBRVLifestyle]

@@threeftr3349 Amazing Liz only focuses on the bad side of the RV Business. Nothing wrong with that. I do agree that quality has gone down, However Major Problems that Liz exposes is a small percentage of those that are sold. I have nothing against Liz, she does not interview the vast majority of people that are happy with their rigs. I have done tons of research and have sold over 4000 RVs in the last 10 years. So I know the dark and light side of the business.

[@ezrasoto293]

Thanks for the info. I need your help. I want to up grade from a class C to an A. I've got a quote that I need your help understanding. The dealership said they will give me $50k for mine which i owe $81k. On the quote they put that they are give me $84k to get it approved with the bank. The price they put for the class A seems high but they said that they did that to get it approved. Not sure if i explained it well. But i need help to make me feel better. Thanks for your time.

[@HBRVLifestyle]

What state are you in? That would help me understand what they’re doing a little better.
