What is Going On With the 2019 Allegro Red and Why I Failed?

[@arthurlucas8271]

Kind of job that details eat you alive. Hard way make a profit. I am impressed!

[@AZExpert]

It's new owners are very happy

[@LayloNewt]

We enjoy all your videos and have actually helped us with issues we've had. Thank You again for taking the time to make these informed videos

[@AZExpert]

Great to hear!

[@gd198070]

Really enjoying watching this restoration I can see why the insurance company chose to total the coach, the man-hours invested will be huge before this is finished.

[@AZExpert]

I still cannot believe it. a $300k RV totaled for $60k in repairs doesnt makes sense

[@garyag45]

Love this stuff, I could watch you guys works all day😎

[@AZExpert]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ralphballtrip2214]

After you got everything done what happened to it thanks for the video Kentucky

[@hillbillyrv]

Hurry up and wait.

[@ThePeopleVerse]

Haha, I was probably one of 9000 viewers that was talking output yo the video saying "hang on, hang on, the wiring is under the pedestal".... but alas there was nothing we could do.... And yeah, you almost got my fingers... LOL

[@AZExpert]

lol :) Thanks for watching!

[@brianfeeney1290]

Thanks for the update James the coach is coming along nicely that's a lot of time in repairs inside and out is the parts shortage due to the covid can't wait to see it finished stay safe and healthy Brian

[@AZExpert]

I can't wait either

[@babylonfive]

Great videos! Love your honest and supportive work.

[@AZExpert]

I appreciate that!

[@ckm-mkc]

As someone who restores old cars, I feel your pain. At least parts are available and you don't have to first learn how to be a machinist and then buy a mill to make your own parts....

[@AZExpert]

no doubt. Car enthusiasts know when the wrong screw was used. RVs are notorious for each one being quite different even on the same line, so it's nice to be able to have freedom to change the build unlike cars.

[@robertburgess6100]

I wondered if you guy's were ever finish it.

[@AZExpert]

I understand, I don't like when some channels never finish up a build that was started.

[@badgerpa9]

The gray carpet will blend in real fast and not look stained on day one, good idea. It is looking very nice. It sucks having to project manage every part on a job like that but that is why it looks so good you are doing a great job. Can't wait til tomorrow and it is painted. Thanks for another video.

[@AZExpert]

thank you! Most people will have a floor mat at the pedals anyway

[@badgerpa9]

@@AZExpert In something like that I would try to cut out a floor mat to go from the seat to behind the pedals.

[@CRVCONSIGNMENTS]

Great video james enjoyed this one!!!

[@AZExpert]

thank you so much sir!

[@TONYANDBRENDA1969]

Thanks for the update.

[@AZExpert]

You bet

[@theghostrider9964]

One of the biggest frustrations.... WAITING on parts. Or is that waiting on painters. 🤔😂

[@AZExpert]

parts, I know the painting will get done the parts I have no faith in

[@lmrad5750]

Can't wait to see how it turns out. I like that you are very meticulous about your work, which is one of many reasons why I tell my friends to check out your channel.

[@AZExpert]

Thank you very much! I'm really excited to see it done too!

[@Stevemax07]

You guys are doing good work and this has been very informative. We basically get to see how RVs are actually built vs the PR videos you see from plant tours.

[@AZExpert]

thank you. I still love factory tour videos though.

[@DavidHBurkart]

Oh my, the manhours for this coach is crazy... but this restoration is fascinating. Can't wait until tomorrow 😉 Thanks James!

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stea2494]

I would have put a rubber where the pedals are, darn carpet

[@AZExpert]

Rubber smells and doesn't stick well from my experience, but that's a good idea too

[@kimd.evridge8776]

Good video, I would like to see more like this one. Good job!

[@AZExpert]

Thanks, will do!

[@ernestbrothers1298]

Curious why not finish out all of foot well with carpet?

[@AZExpert]

on the firewall?

[@ernestbrothers1298]

Thanks 👍

I enjoyed and learned a lot from your inspections...

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheHybridCamperGuy]

Love your videos! I wanna become an rv repair man or salesman I'm making a career change and your videos sure help my confidence with doing it! Keep up the good work! Also, what does a job like this cost to do? With a custom paint job like that its gotta be 10grand plus? I been outa work due to covid and I watch your videos all day lol.

[@AZExpert]

oh I imagine this is a 50k-60k job at least, maybe more. The industy always needs techs and most larger dealers will train.

[@TheHybridCamperGuy]

@@AZExpert 50k!??? Wow. Well I guess when they cost 300k new that's not anywhere near totaled.

[@TheBandit7613]

Good thing the RV industry is behind or this thing wouldn't be worth squat.

[@1floon]

The overall parts situation is crazy! My brother in law has waited over 4 months for a part for his gravity toilet. He's hit his limit, and is installing a whole new toilet today.

[@AZExpert]

this is a frustrating industry to say the least

[@pault1964]

Love law and order

[@AZExpert]

me too

[@DonniePhipps]

Hey I was hollering James the seat base is mashing the wires.. man I am glad you caught that.. 3 months for a window ..and still don't have it..thats ridiculous shame on tiffin/ thor......another excellent video.. thanks

[@AZExpert]

I only forced it for a little bit ;)

[@cwshumate914]

Great work. The new owner is going to be very happy.

[@AZExpert]

Hope so!

[@Yukonjackman1]

Seat belt don't forget

[@AZExpert]

it's on the list

[@pault1964]

Hope you checked with Dick Wolf using his music

[@AZExpert]

I was honestly concerned, but youtube cleared it. I thought it was funny

[@pault1964]

Can you copyright a noise

[@denntamm]

Is this for a customer, or rebuilt to sell?

[@AZExpert]

to sell mostly

[@denntamm]

@@AZExpert well it looks tremendous , don’t listen to those who don’t know better

[@rtjautomotive]

Another 5 million dollar coach.That 1400 dollar stimulus is going far.

[@AZExpert]

lol

[@h5mind373]

How much cheaper would it be to just wrap the whole thing after doing the fiberglass repairs? Or not worth it for longevity?

[@MililaniJag]

Law and Order DUN-DUN!! LOL!!

[@AZExpert]

thank you

[@kenj.8897]

I would imagine the person that's putting the money up from this project is kinda in a hurry to get her done . The value drops every month I imagine . Nice update Sir James .👍

[@AZExpert]

Yes, exactly

[@13yearsaprepperr.jtilbury.51]

wow , I just don't have the patience for this type of work anymore , Years back i would rebuild Yachts and RV`s to flip ,, Now i just do easy cars and 4x4`s , Great vid ,, I cant wait to see the Vid when its driving out the lot for the last Time Rob NSW Australia

[@AZExpert]

it's hard on the soul if I was doing it everyday and not seeing progress. That being said, sampson boat company is my favorite youtube channel by far. kzbin.info/door/g-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA

[@rogerstruthers3799]

Great job. Lots of progress. The wiring on that front must have been a NIGHTMARE. ( by the way : it's tomorrow not (tommorow)

[@AZExpert]

I tried to rush the video out and don't always catch everything and make mistakes or get sick of editing. Thanks

[@kdub1666]

James, I'm gonna have to read up on this project. I assumed this was your fixer upper. I would think being in the biz, able to call on favors, and sweat equity could make it a reasonable purchase. I hope the driver cut out from there survived.

[@badgerpa9]

watch the other videos, driver was ok, drunk enough to not get hurt.

[@AZExpert]

thanks

[@MikeAndNary]

Question: Could you give me a ballpark rough estimate average cost to replace a rubber roof on a 2006 Keystone Laredo. Plywood is good, no prior leaks. One AC, two vents, two fans, one antenna and a ladder. Just an average ballpark guess...... Thanks.

[@AZExpert]

$5-6k

I’m curious, are RV collisions reported to Carfax? Buying this POS would be a nightmare for any uniformed buyer, no offense to you of course. PS, the gray carpet looks horrible, replace it with the color of the carpeting in the rest of the coach. Just saying...🤦‍♂️

[@AZExpert]

yes carfax gets the reports. I'm not sure I'd call it a POS, it's just a rebuilt house. Thanks

[@13yearsaprepperr.jtilbury.51]

Not a POS at all I would buy it Most RV have work done maybe not this much but all have work ,, I do agree on the carpet , I think i would have done Black ,, Rob

[@IsaacWard]

@@AZExpert Maybe he ment to say "your repairs look better than factory, although I don't prefer the carpet color choice"...or maybe he didnt.... Thanks for being an example of decorum even when people are rude

[@jimvincent6408]

@@AZExpert Maybe POS is a bit extream but a future owner should know all the work that was done to this prior to buying. There are so many moving parts, wires and electronics involved, nothing against you and your work but as an RV'er I'd want to know. Keep up the great videos!

[@strangecraft5861]

The grey carpet works. Most people are going to put down mats anyways. Beige would be gross in 5 mins.
