WTF is Black Series RV?

[HTTP404]

They had a storage facility for these trailers in Industry that got overrun by vagrants. The city kicked out the vagrants and forced this guy to move his RVs out. Looks like he found a new home for them in Wildomar. Was this some sort of scam business gone wrong?

 

[DILLIGAF]

Bizarre.....

 

[oldman]

From the way I understand the guy has a racket hustling the homeless. He set up trailers and charges rent with a bogus receipt claiming a rent to own deal.

Not sure how he's making money though, the trailers look like they run $40K.

 

[DoughBallin14]

Ya they all got set up in wildomar also recently and thats already causing evictions and what not but no homeless. I am pretty sure they have or had a building on the 60 near city of industry. Very strange for sure! They are expensive overland ish off road small trailers

 

[Done-it-again]

I believe they are made right off the 60 fwy by Roland Heights.

Homeless is a multi billion dollar industry, I was a civil servant for almost 30 years in LA, and I guarantee this dude has his lips on the gov't nipple in some fashion!

Here is the wildomar link.

Dozens of RVs show up in Wildomar after encampment is dismantled in LA County

Sixty to 80 squatters were living in the campers when they were parked at a lot in the City of Industry.

I feel for poor Hongwei nobody told him he is trying to contaminate a FAFO community in Chad Bianco's county. The guy running for governor is not going to go soft on the Los Angelo cancer spreading to his territory.

"Homekey"...state of Cali helped fund homeless to "homes". Anything from industrial buildings to manufactured homes. Also a "Rentkey" project that sounds like a looser version of section 8...both with taxpayers footing the bill.

 

[HTTP404]

So was this a RV rental operation? Were they renting RVs to homeless support orgs?

 

[island time]

New rvs. They stored them there pre dealership.
Ridiculous. Sum ting Wong with all of this

I was driving by this lot the other day and saw all the trailers. Figured I could get a good deal on one. Pulled over and walked in the gate and found an Asian guy unhitching a trailer. Asked him if they’re for sale he said “no English” so I left. But I did see piles of kids toys and clothes along with a bunch of other junk. Seeing this news story now it makes sense.

 

[twocents]

I hadn't thought about Black Series Campers since just before the pandemic hit. Black Series was an exhibitor at my 2018 and 2019 Sand, Water, RV Expo in Havasu. It seemed like a strange/odd operation headquartered in El Monte at that time. but they paid in advance for their space. My contact/point person at Black Series was a lady who spoke only minimal English. The trailers were unique to say the least. Really testing my memory, but it seemed to me that Robert Hoffman (Caliber 1 Boats) was involved in the sales end of that business as well.

 

[monkeyswrench]

I'd only seen the small, Aussie campers before. I wonder if these are being held for some legal issue? They were pricey for the little ones. Found this article, states the main unit is built in China, and the stuff that makes them difficult to ship is installed in Industry.

We Toured the Black Series Camper Facility and You Won't Believe What Happened!

Have you seen the Black Series Camper brand of rugged RVs?? We toured their North American facility, and you won't believe what happened!

Anyone know of a RV dealership in this area?

[DoughBallin14]

Pretty sure off palomar right around timothy lane by socal hay and grain

 

[C-2]

My train to DTLA passes by the lot in Industry. All I gotta say is...you guys ain't seen nothing yet - there's still a lot of RV's on the lot.

They had that clown on the news denying he was renting trailers to the homeless. Of course, one of the homeless surreptitiously recorded the transaction on his phone and when the news reported asked the owner if that was his voice....priceless. He was forced to admit it.

Those trailers look like junk to start with.

You gonna put in a bid http?

 

[whiteworks]

I wonder what the flooring cost is for those trailers, I’m guessing that the monthly rental program covers the flooring costs and then some.

On that note I was driving in Gardena the other day and holy shit Compton blvd for about a 1/2 mile is a third world slum, it’s very concentrated right in this spot, total insanity, where is all the shit going?

They are following me lol I work right by where the industry lot is and am in Wildomar

 

[WYRD]

Few years back there was a shit ton of these trailers at Manheim Auto Auctions. I tried to bid on a couple but the prices were going for north of $30,000. Odd part about these trailers is there was no damage that I could tell. Almost as if they were just selling them through Manheim instead of from a dealership lot. Tires still had nobbies on them and there was protective plastic film on everything.

It was one of the first Australian camper companies that were exported in mass to the U.S. “Expedition campers” The quality was much higher than anything we had in the US at first but as they started to ramp up the manufacturing in China there became massive quality issues and they became expensive junk.

But…but…but they said it was quality built in China. This is a crazy story. I can see that they are scamming the system maybe after they pumped out the units from that would not sell. Interesting turn selling out of Mannheim. Maybe thinking that they would have hyped up buyer that would not realize it was junk before the bought. Crazy times we live the rats are jumping over each other fighting for our cheese.

[Hardly Satisfied]

I say they should hook them up to a flatbed toe truck and park them in front of Gavin NewScums house and see how he likes that.

 

[GOTTBoat]

Yeah, saw the owner interview on the news last night, definitely said more coming to Wildomar.

A Chinese company ripping off an established brand? Tell me it isn’t so.

Yeah Opus is an Australian company .

 

[stonehenge]

If you want to put it all in perspective.

Crappy, crack filled, hooker infested, POS hotel in south central, LA city, where ever (lots of them)

Kungflu hits, and then homeless plight, etc.

State (your taxes) some FED money (again your taxes) and Joe (place Armenian last name here) rents out his rooms at WAY ABOVE MARKET VALUE
to homeless monkeys for weeks, months, years.... pick your poison.

At some point the homeless monkey dies, or moves on, etc. Oh no, the room is trashed....

Not so fast...

The same gov't entities that footed the ridiculous first bill is paying for all the renovations and upgrades. Eventually the crack den is completely paid for, (and then some) to either continue the scam or go semi legit back to hooker fest 2025, which ever comes first. All the while writing it all off as a major loss with their taxes, etc.

Not to mention the 2 or 3 rounds of PPP money they stole. (no offense to any PPP fuckers that stole from it on here)


But yea, I was assigned as a liaison for my dept's homeless stuff. I would vomit and want to commit <edit> every single meeting I attended. Tainted, yes, very.
Try sitting in a room with 30 young college woke libs all making close to 200,000 plus grand a year to do absolutely nothing tangible for anyone except themselves and the companies smart enough to rip off the gov't.


Do I feel for the homeless, eh, sorta, maybe 1% or less. The vets mostly. The rest of those monkeys choose to be this way, I learned that hard truth being exposed to it for almost 30 years in LA. (btw, children are in shelters or school and the only time you see them is when some catholic upptiy-up is handing out money or fancy getto shoes)



Of course this is just the cliff notes, it is silly dark & deep in Kali with the homeless B.S.

I will step off my soap box, sorry about the rant.






morning J.K.

 

[C-2]

Not too many left and they all look fuccered up, I guesstimate 16-20 left behind

Right by Carson trailer. It's fucked up right there. @rivergames shop is close to there also if I recall.

I have heard some of those are rented out at $500 a month. Slumlord rv owners collecting on them and the state is paying the homeless that turn around and pay the rv owners.

It's fucking bad. Many business owners around the area are suck of this shit.

Problem is, this area is an incorporated part of LA. Technically, the police that are in charge of this area are CHP.... We have a ZIP of Gardena, but never see Gardena PD in our neck of the woods. Our shop is almost on the corner of Compton Blvd and Main Street. Politicians of LA are turds and don't do a F'n thing about it.

Full section of RV's. Some of these RV's gangs own, and rent out to the homeless. In return, to pay rent, sell drugs, or use as brothels.

 

[NicPaus]

That's fucked. No code enforcement in that jurisdiction.

Was a good day on the water yesterday. You were one of a few boats out. That new sandbar spot it getting popular.

Exactly. It aint right...

We were at that beach with a bunch of people and boats Saturday and Sunday. The kids loved running around on the soft sand!

 

[NicPaus]

I seen you and Paul there Sunday.

I was on the skis yesterday teaching the Nieces and Nephews how to operate. One of them was riding your wave as you cruised past Echo. Need to find a mini boat to teach them next. One I was trying to get went to shit when the cover blew off. It got moved under a carport but probably 20k to make decent.

I have a client that area and their internet was thru ATT copper, it was down for like 2 weeks. Finally ATT admitted the WHOLE copper cabinet was stolen at the end of the block. All of the phone junctions!

Welp, that's never getting fixed. Star link to the rescue!

They have a vendor for their camera system. somethng like 60 cameras! For a small footprint. Live 24/7 monitoring. Its nuts.
