[@malifestro3319]

Any company that asks you to remove a video instead of saying how can we make the product better or whatever, yah they need to go. Good on B&W for doing the right thing.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Yes, B&W is a total 180 from Lippert in my dealings.

[@bobdrawbaugh4207]

Unfortunately Lippert is used in some fashion in almost every RV. There seem to be no incentive for Lippert or RV manufactures to do better. Almost every long term RV review has some complaint about a Lippert product. It’s a sad reality of the RV Industry.

[@johngalt5205]

I appreciate that

[@nickalexander4431]

[@hughtruex]

To bad our politicians aren't as honorable as you are. To me, honesty and integrity is EVERYTHING!

[@rvfamilylife]

I have been frustrated with my Lippert auto-leveling system. But what frustrates me the most is that Lippert buys up all these other companies. I can't stand that they don't have competition. Competition is good for the consumer, and Lippert doesn't like it and buys up everything they see. I didn't even know Lippert owns Ranch Hand, I'll never buy that product now. I don't want Lippert to go away, I want other companies to compete with Lippert, forcing Lippert to have to innovate and become more competitive. I personally started to dislike Lippert because of a previous social media guy, "the Mustache." but it has just gone down hill from there.

[@je862]

Good post! There WILL be some competition in the future, and components/products will be of the highest quality.

[@kimsmelcer8036]

You just gained a new subscriber for the simple reason that I really appreciate your integrity. I may or may not end up agreeing with you about Lippert as I like to make up my own mind but I am very impressed that you are following your own moral compass and doing what you feel to be the right thing. Very impressed.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Welcome! Yes, always take what I say with a grain of salt. I simply share my experiences.

[@takeitallin6882]

2 weeks ago I installed Lippert's Road Armour Equalizer. To my surprise when I had to order the HD wet bolt kit, I found out that the kit was almost $300. (Now the kit has 8 HD shackles, 14 wet bolts and 14 nuts). It's a bag of nuts, bolts and shackles and the charge $290!) On top of that the shackles were out off tolerance. They did not seat properly. I reordered and got the same of quality. I ended up having to file out the holes so the shackles would slide on to the shackle assembly. Just amazed at the price... probably $10 of hardware. What a rip off. I appreciate you following your integrity compass.

[@jamesgreen236]

Thank you for honesty and straight forward information.

[@dennybeard3451]

Thank you for Integrity over Profit. I have enjoyed your channel and will continue to follow.

[@WanderingWeekends]

I appreciate that!

[@richb5473]

Bought glass patio door inserts from lippert for my toy hauler. Were broken when arrived due to ridiculous packaging. Explained to customer service issues with packaging and they were good about sending out replacement but packed the same with broken parts again. I was able to salvage enough from the two shipments to make it work with another shipment of connectors sent to me. Lippert customer support was very nice but packaging incompetence cost them. Maybe why their prices are so high. We do love our patio doors even though costly.

[@irisreeves5563]

Thank you for sharing as I will not be doing business with Lippert/ Tiffin. I've seen too many complaints, and now yours, that I have zero trust in Lippert and Tiffin. I agree with another comment someone made...when a company doesn't stand behind their products that are poorly made or defective and resort to bullying tactics instead, said companies do not deserve my business. Again, thanks for sharing.

[@james5037]

This is why I watch all of your videos!

[@WanderingWeekends]

[@johnm.lashmit8855]

Big companies like this cater more to the richer people, cuz they think what that company is selling is better quality than a big box store or something on Amazon, that's why the prices are higher. There's a big fancy store in a town close to me here in northern Michigan that sells a lot of outdoor summer supplies, like grills and patio furniture for high dollar, and a lot of what they sell is the same thing you can get at Walmart, Home depot and Lowes for 3 times less. But the wealthier people think that being it's a high dollar store, the products are better quality.

[@WanderingWeekends]

🤔… I know several well to do folks. They don’t get that way from being careless with money. I’d bet the stores you are referring to are catering to credit card debt and wannabe status… not necessarily “richer people”. I’ve also seen stores that sincerely do have higher quality products. That is where folks with substantial means generally shop in our area.

[@wmcnett]

It can be hard to hold to the truth when there's pressure to fudge it a little. But if you had bent on this, Cory, they would have owned you from then on. You made the right decision. No looking back.

[@donaldsmith881]

You did the right thing. Much respect to you for keeping it real.

[@johngass1441]

Thanks

[@keevs5adventures]

We support you guys on this 100%.

[@sam-the-manhere4773]

Appreciate your videos. Have watched many over the years. I disagree with your view on their product pricing. Further, I believe calling it a rip-off is not quite right. Consumer has the ability to research prices, etc. before the order is placed. Also, What is the value proposition offered by Lippert as opposed to Walmart? How are the transactions different relative to: product quality, communications, warranty, etc. Also, maybe Lippert doesn’t want to compete on price & therefore prices the same item above market. I have done this very thing for accessories in the B2B market.

[@robertcoe3627]

I left them a bad review on one of their products. And they deleted it twice

[@WanderingWeekends]

They did the same when I left a bad review on that eBike... no surprise.

[@lrobie123]

Liz helped a lot to expose them

[@ThePeaPodFamily]

The entire RV industry is corrupt after 20 years of RVing we sold our RV and are selling our truck and we are done. Lippert is a huge reason for this as they make or have a part in the products in most RV manufacturers. I should not have to warranty major components such as leaf springs and axles on a fifth wheel due to their poor quality control. Frames should not be cracking die to poor quality control.

[@mattc3169]

Lippert is nothing more than a big conglomerate and they couldn’t care less about the consumer. And in my experience dealing with them they don’t stand behind their components either. Unfortunately they’ve bought out so many smaller companies that used to make great products and made them cheaper and charge more money.

[@michaelhaines3451]

Amen! I know this first hand.

[@jhm68]

A large RV parts supplier asking you to remove a KZbin video speaks volumes as too your influence on the RV industry. You are humble, honest and straightforward type of guy and that scares them. Keep up the great work.

And I will not comment further because it could be called antisemitism.

[@robertbailey7125]

This is one reason we have watched your channel for so long. You are very fair in your reviews and when something negative needs to be said it's warranted and not for drama. I point a lot of people to your hitch reviews for this reason.

Thanks Cory, Lippert reminds me of Marcus Lemonis who owns Camping World. Not a fan of either because of their tactics. Stay safe, stay prayed up.

[@linkfloyd4908]

Hey Lippert, if you're reading these comments, get your poop in a group. I think you'll find that your customers will turn on you like a wrestler. Here's how it starts: a boycott of all manufacturers that use your frames. I have no problem buying Norco/Bal products.

[@WanderingWeekends]

That is already in the works... Norco is getting busy.

[@Gundog55]

Allow me to throw this out. I’ve had issues with my 2007 Monaco Dynasty. I bought a new step controller from Lippert and a new gear plate and motor from another provider. I rebuilt the steps and ended up with the same problem. I called the tech department at Lippert and spoke with them. They went above and beyond trying to help me with the issue. They sent me the manual for the steps and a new gear plate for free. The employees have always been great to me. Maybe their equipment sales suck but their parts department and tech people rock.

[@CF542]

Perhaps if they spent more time making quality products instead of harassing reviewers, they wouldn't have to worry about negative reviews. My experience with Lippert's Tire LINC TPMS system was absolutely horrible. One of the worst products I've ever purchased for my RV. I even swapped it out under warranty and drove 2,800 miles with it and it maybe worked 10% of the time.

[@donmccormick856]

I've been in business over 30 years with two companies and have done much the same, in the long run your better off.

I had only dealt with Lippert on an accessory 1 time. The GD trailer I bought in 2021 was prepped for Tire Linc. As you know at that time this was kinda new. I tried to purchase the parts to complete it (the repeater and tire monitoring caps). I was told they only come in the complete kit which includes the dock already installed in my trailer. I said no, I already have the dock reinstalled my GD so I’d like just the parts I need. Why do I have to pay for another dock? I got nowhere, zero help and was left having to purchase the entire kit. Ridiculous.

Lippert has always been synonymous with low quality. They have ruined every good company that they have acquired. Fantastic Fan is one of the most disappointing to me. They used to have the best quality product and fantastic (pun intended) customer service. Now they are just another Chinese junk variant. All of these frames that flex and fail are all junk Lippert products. They always seem to have an excuse rather than a resolution.

I have had many problems with lippert stuff in my RV'S... poor design's and WAY inflated prices!

[@nolandenton1224]

Good for you. We have bought a few accessories from Lippert - mainly things that either match a LCI component we already have (like a screen guard for a door) or something we liked that could not be obtained elsewhere easily. Price being the main reason - too dang expensive compared to other options. The old adage “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware) is always a good one to keep in mind. Their sin is not being expensive or charging for shipping - it’s asking a reviewer to compromise his integrity and take down a legit review when the product manager should be talking to you to figure out how to improve the product and achieve real value. That’s the difference between entrepreneurs and sham artists.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Of course they are welcome to charge what they want... but to build a "community" around those products and overcharge that "community" for the same items that can be had for 1/2 price or less seems shady and I was not OK with it.

I have dirty taste in my mouth from them also. I purchased a Lippert awning from a 3rd party after I installed it I found it rolled out about 2 inch more than then the original leaving my awning arms pointing down instead of up. I contacted them more then once and there answer was that I needed to adjust the awning so the arms pointed slightly down. But my original carefree awning stopped at the correct place not 2” to far. They already knew about this problem and are not going to fix it.

If you do not have your integrity, what do you have?

[@redforeman-404]

Enjoying your videos, so thanks. I think you're seeing a couple things unfold that aren't always obvious. One is social media marketing is maturing rapidly. You said it yourself - in 2020 when you were first approached, they had no idea what they were doing. Well, they do now. They know now most youtube creators will do anything to keep that pipeline of evaluation products and or stipends, and they know if they burn one like you, there's 10 more right behind you that will do whatever they tell them to. The other thing being ethics has a whole different meaning to small businessmen like you and I, than it does for a global corporation. To borrow a phrase from another creator I enjoy: they've been huffing their own farts so long, they honestly don't see the problems you pointed out with the e-bike and pricing. Every decision maker at Lippert has a team of people that will tell them what a great idea they have no matter how bad it really is, then go do whatever they're told. The further irony is that the social media liaison you spoke to is just as likely to hold an ivy league master's degree in marketing, as she is just some execs daughter with an instagram habit that seemed a good fit to run the program. I worked in big corporations for 16 yrs and seen all of that first hand. I have no doubt that your Lippert decision and rationalization of this will do nothing but improve your relationship with ethical sponsors you're already partnered with, and attract more like them.
