I will be absolutely shocked if I ever see you give something an A grade outside of those way too small Taylor trailers. I am rethinking whether I am in the market for a camper because you seem to find many things wrong with every camper you've reviewed. Watching your videos makes me think the entire industry is garbage.

@JandAReview1

If a person isn’t a little bit handy shouldn’t own a camper.

@med7064

Your reviews are excellent! However, id really love to see a review on which RV make, model, and year TO buy, as opposed to which one's to avoid. Perhaps more grade A and high B models and less C and F models. Thank you!

You're replacing an AC unit because of freon loss? There's something fishy going on here. Number 1, freon has been out lawed for about 35 years now as it is considered an environmental hazard. All AC units, residential or automotive, use R34, or near to it, nowadays. If the unit on which you're working has R34, it seems just a little wasteful to trash the entire unit, when a refill would do the same for alot less scratch.

Hired a pro inspector prior to purchasing a 2024 Wildcat. He found a multitude of problems including bubbles in the roof. The dealer is now filing a warranty claim with Forest River. This would have been my problem had i not hited an inspector. Your channel enlightened me a great deal. Thank you!

Well, that was disappointing! I own a Rockstaff and have been extremely happy with it, knowing that you will never have a perfect RV and you will always have items that break, I have owned several RV's through the years and in my opinion Rockwood is one of the better built units out there. You should also take a look at Suspensions!

Thanks for all you’ve opened our eyes to.. I asked JoshtheRVNERD .. if he would please open the cabinet doors for the sinks so we can see if the plumbing is correct before driving 1-1 1/2 hours to find out.. he was open to the suggestion

@tonylinkous7940

Have you ever seen a perfect RV, No you have not. There's always going to be something that could have been done better. I agree there are some that are better then others, but not one is perfect.

I’m not sure but I feel you are a very independent in your reviews. I wish I had found you before buying an rv because it would have helped me find defects, etc. I did do a lot of research and ended up with a Jayco 263 RBS. I know Jayco may not be the best of all rv’s, but weighing quality/price, they seemed to check the boxes best of any, but not an rv expert. I need to see if you did an undercover on Jayco trailers. If you did, please let me know how to find it, other than scrolling through every video, thanks

I'm looking at a smaller unit in the ultra lights in a year or so and so I sent an email to the compliance people myself with a link to your 30 second review on the plumbing. The frame thing is of interest but knowing it is a Lippert, I have to wonder about their "responsibility" for that AND is it different by specific model since they are different sizes etc. Another between the lines thing is how you mentioned that this is one that is asked about the most in relation to your reviews. If your objective review harms sales, I would hope they would do everything they could to make em right. And the simple fact that some Forest River plants do plumbing correctly while others do not, says something about their Quality Assurance programs at higher levels. They obviously know HOW to do it right. Why not on all models, particularly one of the higher end lines... Don't get that coming from a QI background. As a top level executive over that particular area of manufacturing, I'd be all over that like stink. Macro system problems are killers. Just ask Boeing... Oh, Mike Becker is the top guy in Compliance for Forest River. I can't find his email address, but YOU have an opportunity to favorably impact the RV industry imho. When you do these vids, consider sending a short email or letter to the manufacturers with your link to the reviews. Oh, I did find an email to the head (tippy top) of compliance Mike Becker but can't find it now. But, here is his address. Mr. Mike Becker

@mikerees9158

Thank you for reviewing a Rockwood !!!!

@russellnell3474

Yup, I have everything I need to re-plumb my Rockwood. Now I need to go out and look at the frame!

@allan6021

Thanks for your reviews, Jacob. Last year I bought a 2023 Rockwood Signature 8262RBS travel trailer. This our 4th Rockwood so I obviously have a fair bit of confidence in their quality but I’ll have to check all the plumbing fittings. The good thing about our particular model is the plumbing fittings are all easy to access. We considered a Cougar model but I’m not a fan of their use of cable slides and Furrion appliances.

@isp5885

Thank you for reviewing the Rockwood. You obviously read requests from your fans!

@jarrets2292

Jacob, Very good report. appreciate your input

@charlesklaus6290

Thank You for your informative and eye opening videos. Hopefully as more people watch and learn from the videos and speak out, the RV industry will take notice and give us a consistently higher quality product. I for one would gladly pay a bit more to get an "A" or even "B" graded RV that I can rely on. I won't even consider a "C" or lower rated RV. I'll be sharing this with my RV friends. Thanks again!

@vivian2077

Thank you, been looking at the Rockwood line of travel trailers. And keep educating us all to keep us vigilant. Keeping RV manufacturers from continuing to produce badly plumbed trailers might work if we all demand that quality.

@roadtripwarriors7458

Thanks for reviewing Rockwood/Flagstaff. I have a 2019 Flagstaff E-Pro 19BH (bought used about 1 year ago) and to my untrained eye, it appears to be well built. Now I wonder if the plumbing in my unit is correct (fortunately, I have not had any plumbing issues). Hopefully, you will review one of the E-Pro/Geo Pro units soon.

@HCDarrellBroussard

Glad you are speaking out on plumming. Had damage on my 2021 ALTA the six RV I purchased since 1980. Had it repaired and they fixed it the same way. When I had the same leaks again I replaced fittings leaking with brass and continue to monitor for leaks.
