It would be much better to buy a slightly older model that you get inspected as by then most issues have been worked out i would think.

[@rebekahwarriorspirit8110]

[@Mvcrash]

Makes you wonder how many folks were put off by these videos and cost the RV industry customers. RVing across the US was a bucket list item for me, not anymore.

[@dearyvettetn4489]

We just bought our used 2024 RV home yesterday and are very satisfied with it’s condition because we hired an independent inspector. It made me smile inside during our final walkthrough listening to the “frustrations” of the dealership staff coping with all the things, major and even very minor that they had to address before we finalized the deal. Follow the advice of creators like Liz and Rigor Repair and HIRE AN INSPECTOR no mater how new your prospective purchase is. It’s sad listening to stories like these of people shopping for RVs like it’s pre-2020. These people want your money and they don’t care about you. Please protect yourself.

[@rmkensington]

This channel has got to stop saying get an inspection like it's going to fix the s***** materials used. These Rv's are not going to last past the warranty period for long.

[@gloriapapp1708]

Where would we look for an rv inspector? TIA

[@debijo5288]

Does he crawl under the rig and pull back the Underbelly to see what's not right.

[@erichansen3517]

Thank you Liz for supporting Canadian RV owners, you can hear the frustration in their voices. Hopefully they can get all their issues resolved.

[@snufflehound]

Pre-purchase inspections might uncover some obvious problems. But problems due to overall shoddy workmanship/materials may be difficult/impossible to spot at the time of the inspection. Intermittent problems with heating/cooling equipment, laundry equipment, elusive water leaks, entertainment systems, faulty slide-outs, etc are unlikely to be spotted while the RV is on the lot without tearing the whole unit apart. In the absence of a national lemon law for RVs, it seems buying a new RV is a very expensive crap shoot.

[@Fishouta]

Well said! In fact, our dealership did a hand-off to us, showing us that everything worked, then after we drove off and got it parked at home, the furnace wouldn't work. Turned out to be a wire that came loose during the drive home. Dealership fixed it, but we missed out on camping that season.

[@joygarrett8397]

Well said & I agree! Some problems can be more hidden & not show up till the unit starts being used. It’s shameful, shoddy workmanship & lack of quality control. And shiesty dealers passing things off . . :-(

[@Mr_Smarty_Pants]

That's what i was thinking, a lot of this stuff may not have been immediately apparent unless you lived in it for a few days? Brutal quality control, unreal that a new unit is in a shambles like this.

[@dearyvettetn4489]

You’d be surprised what a good professional inspector can find when they spend 4-5 hours inspecting and testing systems that normies would miss. Experience repair techs are familiar with particular manufacturers, and their issues. Ours was worth every penny we paid him and even saved us from a rig with a major issue he spotted just looking at the dealer photos and the ones we took on our visit, and he did that for $0 and no visit. We couldn’t be happier with the RV we purchased with his counsel, and the one that we dodged.

[@vrp-geo0224]

If that rv was new, then it sat on dealer lots for 2.5 years. Two winters in Alberta, snow & ice in freeze/thaw conditions could have easily caused the cracks around some of the roof vents. So no question, they should have had it inspected.

[@samuelweir5985]

There should really be a secret behind-the-scenes investigation of how much care and and effort all the workers at some of these RV companies put into their products. I suspect that if you saw their behind-the-scenes work ethic and work quality you would never want to buy an RV from these companies.

[@LEOhopeful]

Just watch AZ Expert Look at the Winnebago roof shortcuts They are literally taking 2x2 "lumber" and splitting it in half and using it structurally In addition to scanning together scraps to use for studs and joists Missing them with the fasteners etc It's not like Indiana is one of our top states for best and brightest. These are 8th grade dropouts, with seven fingers from industrial accidents, putting these six-figure boxes together

[@cheekysaver]

I think it is so important to do Canadian content like this. It shows international issues... not just USA. The RV owners seemed fair. I would be mad too.

@ No one should be buying newer used RV’s after watching these videos! If people quit buying these overpriced RV’s they will lower the prices and maybe start producing a better quality. A fool and their money soon part ways.

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Your advice and insights have been invaluable, and I’ve learned so much.

Keep up the amazing work-your passion and knowledge truly make a difference! 🙂

[@xmavrick]

Ever time I see your videos of customers complaining about new RV problems, I have to ask why didn’t they get an RV inspection? Sorry if this sounds negative but your channel has hammered this point of getting a RV inspection, and still buyers fail to heed this warning.

[@LizAmazing]

Apparently the word has not gotten out yet. And it's not just about getting an RV inspection. It's about the RV industry itself needing to put out a better product and become more customer focused. Thanks for watching.

[@Trevieze]

These people handed 150k over to people they knew nothing about. That's insane.

[@mileshigh1321]

'Quality Control' RIP Advise everyone to get an inspection done on NEW and used units! Money well spent!

[@LizAmazing]

You said it! It's a must these days for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@wesalexander2693]

Liz, you are the RV angel! Without you bringing the light of social media onto these horribly built RV's, the dealers and manufacturers aren't motivated to correct their own mistakes! This is especially difficult for folks whose units are stationary and who live in them full time, it's their home! And a big lesson: new or used, before buying, GET A QUALIFIED THIRD-PARTY INSPECTION!

[@dalehuber6281]

I have recently noticed that a couple manufacturers are taking steps to improve quality. However, the majority continue to miss the quality control mark during production. Bottom line Liz - you are making some progress, but don't let up on the pressure! Thank you!

[@jaydubwolfman4573]

So RV issues aren't just a US problem, it's happening in Canada too. You sure got my attention with this video, I live in Airdrie, right next door to Balzac. Was this damage the result of the hail storm we had earlier this year?

[@scottmichaels12]

The RV is still made in the United States. If it was storm damage the dealer and manufacturer would have said so, and they did not. It's just another poorly manufactured product made right here in the USA.

[@onrycodger]

And it was stationary! Imagine if they were driving at highway speeds? Unbelievable, but true....so sad and outrageous!

[@LizAmazing]

Exactly! Had problems sitting still. Sure hope the RV industry wakes up and does better. Thanks for watching

[@dannyduncan3181]

To anyone who is considering living full time in an RV this should be a lesson in the many steps you need to take before you buy that perfect dream RV. To often you see the new shiny RV and can't wait to buy it. We've been rv'ing long enough to admit I've rushed to buy when I should have done more research/inspecting the unit. Going full time or just part time also these rigs need to be gone over and over. Warranties usually don't cover coming to you to fix the issue and if your full time you don't have a lot of options as far as where your going to live while repairs are made. Ten years ago we met a host couple at one of our favorite parks who had sold everything and went full time seven months before. Right away they started having issues with their brand new 5th wheel but because they were full time they didn't have the option to drop the rig at the dealer and live elsewhere. That ment the rv tech had to come from the dealer to them. The warranty issues were covered by the manufacturer warranty but not the service call which cost them $175 each time. At that time they had already paid for 8 service calls which was a real nightmare. At one time they even had the front cap removed for three days all while sitting in the campground. I can't imagine what a cluster that was. Hard to imagine these constant repairs being done in the park period. We kept in touch with them for awhile and after three years of constant repair issues they gave up full time and moved back into a house. I don't know the extent of all the issues they had but it would seem to me that three years of it always broken would have been a good candidate for a buy back.

[@Bookworm214-y3d]

if u look at a lot of her videos you would realize almost all of the rvs with issues are the huge size ones . it looks like the smaller rvs under 25 foot dont have any problems

[@scottmichaels12]

@@Bookworm214-y3d Not true. I owned a 22' brand new Winnebago Micro Minni and it had multiple issues right off the showroom floor. You don't hear about the smaller RVs as much because people tend to suck it up and deal with it when they pay $20-40K, but when you're spending over $100K, you tend to want something to be done about it. And of course the larger RVs have more issues because they have more parts and larger plumbing and electrical systems. The lightweight cheaper parts do become a problem over time in all RVs regardless of size, but they shouldn't be falling apart from day one.

[@TheMikeWaddell]

Great work, Liz.

[@johnmeyer5496]

An inspection might help but until the “pedal hits the road” and actual usage your chance of uncovering mistakes, coverups, and internal production problems will not uncovered. Rv laws might help to ensure quality and warranty are truly and decisively in place as self protection for the consumer. Common sense needs to be rule one, I feel sorry for these people, but truly if you spend that type of money…you fall under the adage “they have more money then sense” ⚰️

[@Absaalookemensch]

Has the builder and dealer no shame? No. As long as they get the money they don't care unless they are held accountable.

[@rtrottier14]

I hate to say it, but I have delt with Allen Dale when they were under their previous name in Airdrie Alberta. Complete lack of caring, complete lack of competency, could never get anything out of them for warranty. One year into ownership of our Work and Play 44ft live in unit, a fantastic fan, back up camera, stereo amplifier, and ladder showed up. Funny thing is, none of that was on our warranty list. THey asked for it all back, and I said I will happily do that once they make us whole on our warranty claims. I then found our that they were closing shop. About 6months later I get an email from Allen Dale, same owner I delt with in Airdrie, con gratulating themselves on the new dealership.... still no warranty. These guys are a prime example why so many people dont want to deal with RV dealers.

All i can say Is WOW, talk about not caring about your product or the customers,I know we say this everytime Liz posts one of these stories but this is just insane!! when people buy a home especially a BRAND new home regardless of the price (and these homes are very expensive) you deserve a clean worry free environment. I will say this its only a matter of time before some one gets seriously hurt or killed by this incompetence, either a fire happens or someone suffers a heart attack fixing something that should never have broken or it falls apart while being driven and causes a severe accident,These RV companies better wake up.

[@JohnnyinMN]

I watch your videos to support what you’re doing. I’m not an RV owner, but have heard the same stories from friends that are. Keep up the great work. My sympathy goes out to the honest people that buy these units. I’m always amazed how they keep their calm after the h*ll they go through.

[@CCaudits]

As a matter of fact, me and a friend stopped by a dealer today and looked at a JayCo pull behind camper. They were asking $17,000 and some change for it. The first thing I asked him was what's the year and when was it built. He said it was around a 2021 or 2022 and I told him NOT ONLY NO, BUT HELL NO. I've learned from your videos that's around the COVID era and RV's were mass produced and manufacturers didn't care about quality they just wanted to get them out the door.

At this point if you buy a current gen RV expect to have issues. I’ve considered getting a 1998-2000 Safari Serengeti, those things are bulletproof, well constructed and you can do interior upgrades yourself.

Those Safaris are super sweet! Another option is buy from a small independent RV maker. I highly recommend Oliver Trailer, SimpleCamp and others like Coach House and Bigfoot.

[@kevinpilotte8738]

I had a new Columbus 320RS. Because of various quality issues, it was returned to the factory 4 times. The final required replacement of part of the side due to severe ply separation. The last 2 trips to the factory I delivered and picked up the unit. With all due respect, besides having a lemon, some manufacturers will not cover units used for full time stationary living. I wish them luck. Oh, we sold our Columbus and purchased an Airstream. Happy now.

I bought a used 2017 Forest River Wildwood XLT a year ago and I started having problems IMMEDIATELY. I purchased from dealership but no warranty because the warranty would only cover parts not labor. I've had leaks from the 4 corner seams that go from the roof to the bottom of the camper outside. Then realized the room is coming unglued from a corner near the door.

(all good)I decided to do my own inspection prior to taking trailer off lot. found control rod for one set of window blinds missing. Found a tool from the factory on the roof. Started A/C unit and sawdust blew out of the vents all over the interior. If you cant do inspection hire a third party. another Tip, view resent full timer You Tube videos, if their rv is 5 years old or older . Its probably a better made rv brand. Ask them in comments to rate. Most full timers change RV's before they need tires replaced. So your going to need to view a few vid's lol.

Hi Liz, I think it’s time for RV dealers to automatically offer third party independent inspections to the consumers. This will reduce and possibly eliminate the headaches between the dealer and the customer. Of course, the dealer can always initiate a third party inspection on their units and provide a certificate accordingly to the customer. The cost may have to be absorbed by the customer in the end, but it may be something well worth the expense. Just-my-two-cents. Keep doing good work. Mike

[@steveaddie3461]

well done Liz

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you, Steve! Have a nice weekend!

[@corporalvideo26]

I understand your emphasis on having a 3rd party inspection done, but, a couple of the problems that these people have would not be evident even to the inspector. The stereo wiring (rats nest) that needed repair would not even be seen by an inspector unless that individual took the whole unit out of it's mounting. Remember that the TV worked after the purchase. Similarly the window condensation would only be visible if it just happened to be raining when the inspector checked the unit. Now that the inspection is complete and the couple are satisfied that the unit is in "new" condition where do they turn? Is the inspector on the hook for problems that develop, no, of course not. He/she has been paid and is long gone. The couple still has to work with the dealer and/or manufacturer. My take on the inspector is money not always well spent.

Most people need to understand that these trailers are trying to do many thing. They are complicated pieces of equipment. Ruggedization is not the top priority. If you want something rugged, it in most cases requires additional weight. The old saying goes you can use steel or aluminum but at half the weight but double the cost. In these units, plywood is not your friend but it is cheap. I wish these people the best of luck with this trailer.

In their situation, I would’ve gotten an inspection. Thanks Liz.

[@kimkrebs451]

WOW! These issues these people that are having. It seems like the same issues but different people.

[@jameshudson7752]

Our 2019 Keystone Montana was a nightmare. Cost us thousands to get everything fixed before we could sell it. POS!

[@Chili453]

Good job, Liz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markdanielczyk944]

Ruh Ro, Liz is back.

Glad the dealership is steeping up. There are so many "new" used RV dealerships that are popping up everywhere selling 2020 to 2024 models. Buyer beware. On a side note, my god that man has had a hard life if he is just 50 years old he looks like he is 62 at least. I am 53 an still bench press 275. Leg press 675. I am floored. I must have damn good genes...

Glad you are taking care of yourself! Life goes by pretty fast. Thanks for watching

Really sucks they have a brand new unit with a patched roof. Wouldn't that de-value it?

[@FrenchEros]

Hello Liz. I hope you are doing well. It's been a while since I last wrote to you. I'm wondering if you are still RVing full-time. Even though you found a new niche for your channel and being remarkably successful (I'm very happy for you), I miss, at times, the old way of your channel. Any chance it will come back? Thank you for your wonderful work and I wish you continued success!

[@LizAmazing]

It might. I'm not sure. The channel exploded after I went this direction. It's a good feeling to be helping others and for using my platform for good. Thanks for watching!

For those who get a third party inspection on new units at the dealership, how do you manage that when the units are not anywhere near water or power hookups? Does the dealership pull it into one of their precious shop bays, which means it puts their own work on pause? I just cant picture it. It would otherwise not be a complete inspection.

[@daphnepride1534]

The are going to "patch" the roof for the winter. Are they going to "fix" the roof next summer?

[@Fishouta]

Typical RV dealership response. 'We had no idea they were unhappy with us." What? And I have my own horror stories of dealings with where we purchased a travel trailer. All they do is lie lie lie. I even reported them to my insurance company for defrauding them (double charging) and my insurance company did nothing about it.

Well, I have been watching these video’s each week and unlike you guys I am in the U.K. I bought a Winnebago View 2005 model from the U.K. dealer in 2008 for about £58,000. Considering that includes U.K. taxes, duty tax and shipping charges, I estimate the $ say about 55,000.. Now 16 years later they start from over $218,000 plus taxes in the states that’s heading towards a whopping 400% increase or a year on year rise of 9% each year assuming the state taxes are 6%. Having owned it from new, sure there have been things fail. In the first 10 years nothing at all, since then New on the Chassis ABS pump ECU On the Winnebago body House water pump 2x LPG leak sensors Smoke sensor House door lock and rear locker lock AC unit recently. My advise just don’t but a new unit, they clearly cut too many corners now. Adopting the view (no pun intended) Get the most money for the least expenditures. It’s a sad state that industry is in. If china or Japan start building them, the USA is screwed

[@tamaragerken8681]

You can check out the reviews on the brand/make/model all day long, but they ALL have problems. That’s the nature of this beast, and it will stay that way until the industry is regulated. Do a thorough walkthrough with a competent mechanic on any RV you’re interested in buying…EVEN BRAND NEW. And DRIVE or TOW IT FIRST. The reviews that are beneficial are the ones about the dealership. If they’re mostly bad, find another dealer.

Another well done video.
