If you've ever wondered why RVs are such junk....

[lbhsbz]

This is why:

 

[CLdrinker]

Staples, glue, and silicone hold them all together.

 

[propcheck]

I always used to describe my trailers as a tuff shed on a flat bed built by a meth head,what could go wrong

 

[JFMFG]

BE A MAN. BUY A NEWMAR.

I bet they use a square and a tape measure when they build tuff sheds

 

[WTR&PWR]

Holy shit those dudes are hustling! 6 hours start to finish shows the quality…

 

[Javajoe]

That’s why I told my wife NO when she wanted an RV and or a Trailer. I love the R3 insulation on the roof and walls
Sounded like a Chop Shop
I always hear about having to fix shit all the time. Just bought a house in Havasu so no more asking about that shit no more

The methods aren't all that much different now, but the materials are mostly better. Composites sides, MUCH higher insulation, more RV's without wood as a primary framing member, etc.

6 hrs once all the sub assemblies are ready. But still, I bet the sub assemblies are also built “quickly!”

 

[TimeBandit]

32 built in one day.

Staples and a prayer holding that thing together.

 

[WTR&PWR]

Those dudes are moving stupid fast even the cleaning lady. Either they got a boss hammering them or they got a boss feeding them meth. Either way the assembly had plenty of sketchy moments.

Composite sides look more modern, but they’re not better…especially in the desert heat.

As you can see here by the comments........
That may not be such a good advertising video.....

That is hilarious and the best description I've heard yet!

 

[Todd Mohr]

I can’t believe they would publish that, keep that shit secret

 

[spectras only]

BE A MAN. BUY A NEWMAR.

Forget Newmar, buy a Newell Or a Marathon coach!

Not referring to the fiberglass sides of old. Referring to the azdel and such of modern RV's (within the last 6 or 7 years for widespread adoption).

Henry Ford did it.
Toyota does it.
Show me a hand built car nowadays. That's affordable.
Crying about nothing.
Carry on...

Or a GMC

While y’all are crying about this shit I’m livin life. Carry on.
Welcome to my office last July.

I don’t remember using a square when I worked there.

 

[bilz]

Yet we still buy

 

[JFMFG]

Or a GMC

Got one.

When I had ToyHauler Magazine years ago I toured a bunch of manufacturer plants. It was scary watching them build some of these trailers. I should dig up some old pictures but then nobody would ever buy a trailer again.

 

[Joe mama]

Weekend Warrior was a lot quicker than that and when you pull it, it makes screws.

I just got back from Middlebury Indiana to have a slide out fixed on the Showhauler Super C I drove to Indy for the races and I got to tour the factory. For a lot more money you get a lot higher quality and they only aim to deliver one a week but forty a year is a normal year.
I toured the town and was surprised that most manufacturers are there including Jayco and their facilities are huge. They say the population is 5,000 but goes to 20,000 on work days. The town is incredibly clean and the people are extremely nice.

Nice Pete 389. Would suck to be stuck driving that day cab all the time though. A short high roof sleeper would have made a better transition to the RV portion and would have been a lot more comfortable.

That thing is gonna be like driving a u haul.

No doubt, I’d rather be less cool and comfy.

 

[JL95]

That frame flip was insane

 

[Sportin' Wood]

Days without DART. Never.

Piece workers = Safety Third.

I could not finish watching, without PPE.

 

[Waterjunky]

I have seen the wiring and general construction on my Jayco Super C. You know, Jayco's flagship model.
That video about sums it up.

 

[Rennsport]

Imagine their compressor goes down - all those air drills. Yikes. Looking like mostly Homish workforce?

I would suffer and drive this if I had to!

Not past the first big speed bump…

Or the air bags pump up and you are fine......

I have owned about every brand and type of RV. My best 5th wheel was a Dune Chaser by Monaco and my best motorhome is my current Holiday Rambler endeavor by Monaco. Aluminum frames, 1 piece aluminum roofs, huge chassis with 8 airbags.

I will never buy another Fleetwood or Forest River or Thor product.
