Hello Josh. I figure you would know if anyone so I have a question. If a Tesla or other electric car can have working A/C, why can't an RV run a 48 volt system so A/C and a TV can be run on battery power? Combine this system with solar? Is this technology coming? Separate 110v and 12v systems is decades old.
Hey Josh great videos would really love to see a north point 380rkgs floorplan video haven not been able to even find a picture of one thanks
@@ryanmcginty4638 It's all possible. It's a matter of cost vs. demand
The balance is changing and heading that way
@@stevenclements6202 It basically hasn't existed yet. They got the prototype work done but haven't been able to work it into production due to the overwhelming demand for other models (specifically the 377RLBH and 382FLRB)
Josh, you are the best in the business. Don't ever sell yourself short on how much what you do means to those of us that follow along with you.
You're too kind :)
Best videos on RV's hands down.
I watch them because they are better than the comedy specials on Netflix.
wow.. thank you so much :)
He is phenomenal
16:03 HEY THAT'S ME! :D You are too kind for the mention, Sir, thank you! PS CONGRATS AGAIN!!
Never thought I would see you mentioned on this channel! Very classy!
You're the best buddy. Stay classy
Josh, I wish you were in Texas. I like your style!!! Honesty is a hard thing to come by, keep up the great job!
We've talked about potential expansions in years past. Texas was one of our main potential destinations, but we never got thru the theory phase of anything before the world went upside down
Now we're just holding onto our hats
Hey Josh, as a Process engineer with over 40 years experience in manufacturing….I find your optimistic assessment and sharing of information to be justified and SPOT-ON. Better days for the country as a whole are definitely in front of us. Keep of the great work ! 👍🏻
Beautifully said. I support the enthusiasm and optimism as well. I think you're both right!
I generally don't watch your new/used videos because I purchased a brand new 2020 model in 2019 (luckily before everything went crazy). I do watch and enjoy your industry news and recall videos and appreciate your no-nonsense approach. It's great to see good, honest, hard-working people get the attention they deserve. Congratulations on 100K and thank you for keeping us informed.
Ty Craig!
Inflation is at 2008 levels, so I don’t expect prices to do anything but go up until the dollar gets some value back. Way too much money has been printed recently and those effects will be catastrophic across all sectors.
I’m hoping a lot of people that bought last year and this year decide that they are not about the RV life and sell.
@@slaytanic921 I think you’re 100% right. The deals will come from Blue states that are/were more locked down so people had less options to travel. I have several friends in CA that bought RVs for the first time. Not so much, the big 5th wheels as none of them had 3/4 or full ton trucks, but lots of the better quality trailers, like Lance, InTech. Most of them have ‘been there, done that’ and are ready to get back on the resort/cruise scene. In particular a good friend bought a 27ft Airstream with a rear hatch that I told him if he sells, give me first dibs.
@@slaytanic921 They might sell, but it will be for the next two years a SELLER's market...you want one? You want to camp? We have one for sale, and we will get pretty much what we paid for it. Just you wait and see....there won't be any fire-sales, no sir...and ESPEICALLY if you have a model that people want, but they are not pumping out over the next few months. If you have one of those...it's like a gold brick sitting on your driveway.... :)
@@sesquashtwo I disagree. I think people won’t be able to afford them. As far as popular models, some manufacturers are only constructions their top two models
@@slaytanic921 I own a Winnebago 2018 1706FB. It sits on my home driveway, and I have had at least 15 couples walking by, asking if it was for sale. Two couples said that if I show them my 2018 Bill of Sale, they would add 25 % no questions asked to entice me to sell to them. So, I have to disagree, as there are people out there, with MONEY, that can't find what they want features, and length...and are willing to pay a penalty to get what they want...and has been my experience. They all are so crest fallen when I tell them, we are not interested for any price to sell. We love our model and length.... Cheers.
Thanks for the updates!
Crazy markets everywhere. Just traded in a 2 year old truck and received what I paid for it. Absolutely nuts.
Yeah it’s not just rvs
Yep..I have seen unscrupulous dealers asking for...and sadly GETTING two or three THOUSAND over MSRP!
@@sesquashtwo I have a lot of salespeople and managers from other dealerships look me up on facebook. Now and then one will chat with me on messenger
Several from texas asked me "how much over MSRP are you selling for?"
As though it was 100% presumed. They were confused when we advised we were still offering discounts below MSRP
@@JoshtheRVNerd ...and that's why I am coming down to see you folks, when or if, I decide to go with other than I have at present. For sure! :)
You have such a great sense of humor. I love to watch you. Thank you for your hard work!
Josh, you have had one hell of a year....it's a wonder you didn't pull all your hair out..........uh, sorry about that Buddy! LOL!!! You are a quality person, from a quality family, from a quality Dealership, providing quality service, quality products........did I miss any quality Josh? PLEASE stay strong and keep doing what you're doing! Thank you & God Bless the Haylett Dealership family!
Congrats Josh. I have been watching your videos for over 2 years. I still have yet to buy a camper, I was prepared and then covid hit and I'm struggling to make a decision. Your videos are amazing and you are the best UA-cam Chanel for anyone looking for camper information. I love all your videos and can't wait for 2022 model videos.
TY Robert!
My hubby won't comment but says he loves it when you review your used!!! Please do as many of them as you can. He loves your channel
You got it!
Be sure to also subscribe to our new 2nd channel which as exclusively used RVs!

I have a Rockwood unit on order and would actually prefer that the manufacturers allow me the choice on whether to wait for a 2022 or not based on the expected changes. I appreciate that they are striving to give customers what they expected, but if I had the chance to, for example, wait a couple weeks to get carpetless slides, I'd probably take that deal.
I was actually at Rockwood yesterday. They asked me what I'd like to see for 2022 updates. I told them "You only need to do ONE thing.. get the carpet out of the slides."
I got some smiles in return but no specific answer. I think it's happening.
And not sure when your RV was on order, but a LOOOOT of the RVs currently on order will organically become 2022's
@@JoshtheRVNerd Well, here’s hoping. 😀 We ordered on 3/10 and are looking at an estimated build date no sooner than 7/1, so maybe there’s a chance. Would be awesome to see the carpet gone.
On the other hand, I like carpet, and do not like hard, cold floors!! YMMV......😁
@@phurth I believe July is the expected change over, but I cannot say with certainty. Sounds like you're going to be RIGHT on that cusp
@@JoshtheRVNerd Posted this morning on Facebook - looks like 7/12 is the magic date: facebook.com/stories/2065860253426215/UzpfSVNDOjQzOTczOTMzNzM2MDYyMTM=/?bucket_count=9&source=story_tray
I really enjoy your videos. I have been camping for 40+ years. Started in a tent then pop up and then travel trailer. The older I get the higher off the ground I need to be. Lol. I really appreciate all the time you take to cover the issues. I still learn new things from you all the time. Thank you for your honesty, humor, and hard work.
Lol - I like that explanation :)
You rock!! We look forward each month to watch your industry updates - they are awesome!! We check UA-cam every day just to see your videos! You bring us joy! Thank you for taking time to do these!
My pleasure. Free time has been sparse but I wanted to keep this series rolling
If we stopped relying on other countries for supplies and bring manufacturing back to North America things would change for the better! Keep the videos coming! 🙂
AMEN
The cornerstone joke got an audible groan over here lol. Thanks for a great update! -J
Then my work here is done.
This is my favorite show these days!
Sisyphus, Paula Abdul, and nerf bullets. This is why I love this channel. 😂
It ain’t fiction
It’s and actual fact
Very informative, never boring, always truthful, always funny. Keep up the good work.
You got it :)
You seemed to be getting a little more sunburned as you recorded the video. As always thanks for the updates and your perspective. I have enjoyed your videos for many years and only miss the horse trailers you used to do videos on. Thanks for all of the entertaining videos and wealth of knowledge gained listening to you. Stay safe and healthy, have fun, hug your little one they grow up fast and become really moody.
A few people have mentioned it
Rewatched.. you’re not kidding
Congrats on 100K Josh, your the RV Rockstar! Always enjoy your content and appreciate it!
Thanks so much!
The train horn was a nice touch. 🤣 Seriously, you’re one of the coolest guys on UA-cam. Thank you for taking your time to fill us in on RV matters, especially those created by CV-19. We appreciate you so much!
My pleasure. Ty for hanging out with us
Josh, Thank You for all you do. My wife and I wouldn’t have made the trip from Potato Creek campground in Indiana to Haylett RV last week if it weren’t for the time and effort you put into your videos, not only to show us the newest inventory, but to explain the difference in the build quality, warranty’s and features of the different models. We will make the trip back to Haylett to buy our fifth wheel, yes, we could buy it from a dealer in Indianapolis, but they haven’t put the time and effort into videos to educate buyers on what to look for, this alone warrants us buying from Haylett, but I truly believe we will get the best pricing deal from Haylett. Thank you again Josh, keep up the great videos, always look forward to seeing what you have to show us next! 👍😀
It was really great getting to meet you. Ty for visiting :)
Josh's analogy of a good Punch is right on the money! Simply put what the RV Manufacturers are doing is deliver a solid punch
To the RV Industry including RV Dealer's, I believe they've went temporarily to a Most popular models Focus Driven Market!
This is why used RV prices are way up. I mean, WAY up from a year ago. I figure by early next year the market will be flooded and used prices will dip big time. This fall will be a good time to buy used. Many first time RVers will find its not their cup of tea and because of that will NOT want to store them.
I'm hoping you are correct.
I’m waiting for this as well. The grand design models I like are up like 10 grand this year.
Until the other countries can pull out of this pandemic nothing on the pricing is going to change. I was going to wait for everyone to sell also but we're not getting any younger..😉 so i ordered my Arctic Fox 990 two months ago. No, it's not here yet but I'm getting closer. Meanwhile I'll just keep on traveling in my old cabover.
I'm hoping the ( Covid Campers) will be selling by next yr. People bought RV'S because they needed to do something with the family.
Just remember you were a first time buyer too and LOVE IT.
Hey Josh! No doubt you are the greatest and maybe not by design you have become the face and mouth of the RV Industry. Everyone knows about you and tune in for your updates. I am one of those poor souls waiting on a New Jayco Pinnacle 36FBTS ordered Feb 5, 2021. I do have a VIN # but the dealer says the factory will not comment on when I might see my unit. I was hoping things would get better. I have heard many comments about a lack of delivery drivers which is causing a serious backlog of just getting the units out of Indiana - any comments?
Drivers are waiting for runs
It’s a lack of finished products we have seen as the issue
Thank you Josh for such great videos and insights on the RV Industry. From south Alabama, we love watching you show us the campers that are out there and all the little things that we would definitely miss ourselves. We too are looking forward to life getting back to normal!! Thanks again!
Well thank y'all for watching :)
I wouldn’t hold my breath on the suppliers/shipping industry too much.
Your Killing it this year Josh! Keep up the great work!
I've been blessed with some amazing followers and growth this year. Couldn't rightly ask for more
Josh you hit the nail on the head for our exact situation. We ordered a Eagle HT 264bhok in January. Last week Jayco called and stated that they had discontinued the 264bhok and we either had to choose another model or get our deposit back. We chose the 284bhok and were told that would be manufactured in early July. That was fine. They called back the next day and said the schedule had changed and it will now be manufactured in late August. They did say that it would be a 2022 model and explained the differences to me (I don't want to be the one who breaks the news, I will wait for Jayco to announce the improvements for 2022). They did not know about pricing but they understand we ordered a less expensive model 6 months ago and now they can't deliver. We have now canceled 5 weeks of camping reservations. We are not very happy at this point in time.
So once again you are spot on with your update and we hope that things will be getting better soon. Thanks for your words of encouragement. We could use some right now.
We had two managers making these calls all week. They looked like they needed a drink every day. We really wish it wasn’t a case of the plug just straight being pulled on people but we also can’t control it
Its crazy right now . Just traded our 2014 Cougar 28RLS for a 2021 Montana High Country 295RL. Received 4.5 k more than i was offered in 2019. 2 weeks later dealer received another Montana High Country 295RL price was 12 k more than we paid for ours.
Hey that was Mike, your Vanna White from the 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2304 video.
Greek myth reference? Love it! Uncle Josh the Cultured RV Nerd 👍👍🤣
Everything I know I learned from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Love watching your videos. I love seeing what new campers are out there and industry updates. You should compare popular model truck/suv and match them to a camper you think works best. I think it help a lot of folks out who are new to RVing.
Well,Josh...We appreciate you too! Watching your videos is like watching one of my favorite shows on TV. You are probably the most positive,honest,and genuine UA-cam celebrity. And yes I said celebrity. Lol.
Thanks to you and your insight, I think we sold privately and purchased at the right time back in March with selling high used because of market demand yet catching a good deal on dealer stock before prices were increased. Thank you! I wish you were closer because you have the camper we purchased since you just did a review of the 2021 Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L. I just looked at the dealer we purchased and they're claiming retail price is now $6k higher and missing things...no rear rack, no juice pack, no power stabilization jacks... I'm glad we paid nowhere near the current "sales" pricing.
You did well
I appreciate all the work you put into all the extra information you give to your viewers.
Doubt pricing will go down much on vehicles, RVs, boats, etc.. If you remember back around 2008 pricing on things like vending machine cokes jumped. Never went back down. Maybe with discounts or dealer cash get back to something approaching “normal”, but don’t count on it. Many car dealerships have been doing VERY well selling cars at or above msrp.
I regularly have agents of other dealerships look me up on things like Facebook which I welcome. I don't mind networking
Several have asked me things like "Are you selling at MSRP or above?"
It was phrased as though MSRP were the assumed standard
We're still offering discounts below MSRP... which is probably why our inventory is straight decimated
If a dealer is sitting with a bunch in stock, then it's *probably* because they won't let it go unless you REALLY make it worth their while
All of the same issues down here in Australia with production. Big shortages on imported items such as fridges, windows & other construction materials etc. Sales wise locally produced Jayco have a full order book till mid 2023! - not worth their time even turning up to RV shows when you have nothing to sell. Basically no supplier can fulfill an order (caravan) placed today for delivery in 21, with most out to mid 22. Its truly madness down here right now with the Australian border closed with many now opting to holiday at home.
Ty for sharing. Cheers
Josh, My husband and I love your updates! We are getting ready to upgrade our travel trailer to a 5th wheel and your information is invaluable! Grateful for you experience, enthusiasm, and kindness😄
Thank YOU Lorraine
Watching your videos made me decide to travel from California to Michigan just to get our RV.
Excellent video, no better anywhere, the RV guru is what you are. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Josh for all your inside information on the RV world, it's appreciated more than you know. Looking for to more updates as the year goes on. Great job. 👍👍
Love, love, love your videos. We are learning a lot. Cheers from Canada !
Awesome! Thank you for tuning in! :)
Roll me over with a rock. You're right; I was not expecting that reference on an RV channel. Thanks for the update. It all makes sense, but it doesn't make it any easier for now.
Josh, I always enjoyed your content. I sold my camper in September and just bought another one - now I'm watching your videos again. Great job! -Ed
Ty Ed!
Thank you for the videos I enjoy them. I really am enjoying the Jayco Eagle 336fbok I got from Haylett earlier this year. My only regreat is not stepping up to a north point but I will in the next 7 years or so.
You did *great* and shouldn't feel any regret. Pound for pound Eagle is truly about the best thing ever made in fifth wheels (in my personal view)
Thank you for all you do Josh, you do so much for all of us, seasoned RVers to new RVers. The wealth of information you share is valuable, let alone you have a way of making, at least to me, as if I am talking to you on your dealership lot, which I hope to do in the near future. Have a great weekend and keep being you, the honest great guy you are. 😊👍🏻
My wife and I love your videos Josh! We are just starting our research for our first Travel Trailer and talked about making the drive from Wisconsin to your Dealership when we are ready to buy. (Looking at a Wolf Pup 16fq). Keep making these great videos. We are learning a lot.
Sounds great!
Do it!...we ordered in March and I can't wait to make the drive over. Just waiting on the call 😁
Without a doubt, this is the absolute best RV channel on UA-cam!! Thank you for all you do, Josh!! You are greatly appreciated! ✌️
Sincerely appreciate your honesty and forthrightness. Definitely buying our next rig from you.... And we're in Texas!
Josh congrats on 100K. Great job with diversity in videos. I have learned quite a bit from your videos. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Looking forward to the new lines. Love the addition of safety recalls. No body elas is doing so much to promote the business. Keep up the great work. Hopefully I'll be out to see you in person soon.
Josh, thanks for the information. I appreciate your honesty and insight into the RV industry.
My pleasure!
Josh, you rock! (Sisyphus pun, sorry) I really appreciate your videos. I don't watch all of them. Only because it's model I'm not thinking of purchasing. But I really enjoy all of the rest of them. I've learned a lot. But mostly I've learned that Haylett is much more to the RV community than just another dealer. Your videos promote good information to all of us. It's nice to know a business that places a high value on integrity, not just a sale. Thank you for your transparency and honesty. Keep up the good work! I promise, no more bad puns!
hahaha -- greek mythology puns are perhaps my 7th favorite variety! :)
TY Lane :)
Congrats on 101,000 subs. You are the best RV dealership marketing wiz on UA-cam. Thanks
Ty :)
If you haven’t already, can you do a pros vs. cons video on buying a new vs. used rv
I started it once and couldn’t finish. Good idea
Thankyou for the updates this put into prospective the reason why our ordered RV (January) is sitting on the manufactures lot with missing parts with no idea when it will arrive, keep up the great work young man
Josh, only good news please! My heart can’t take anymore bad news!
I felt myself reaching almost desperately for anything good to share the past few months. I think we'll get there, but we're not out of the woods yet
Thank you sir for all the information.I am a newcomer to the RV world, it is very refreshing to find someone very passionate and informative as yourself to help us newcomers to navigate that world. Thank you thank you, we really appreciate your help.
Welcome aboard the #RVNerdHerd Crazy Train :)
Another great video. You really have upped your game.
On the supply side, I’ve got a few comments for you. Plastics supply is still tight. It seems like the July to September time frame is right for supply corrections. Glass Fiber is really tough. The suppliers keep saying September but I feel it be closer to year end. The other interesting one is shipping containers. The ports are backed up with slowed loading and unloading. This has created a shortage of containers. The cost on containers has doubled. And the US is still short about 50,000 truck drivers. So truck shipping costs are up as well.
True, that coupled with the tightest restrictions on drivers, no one wants to drive anymore. I used to drive, still hold a current CDL, but they can't pay me enough to drive, especially not with Big Brother watching every minute.
I love your spirit of gratitude!
TY Kelley. I try to remember my "problems" are largely self-imposed & that I/we truly are fortunate
I love these update videos. I run a Facebook group up here in Canada with 15k members and I have been sharing them within the group. There is so much useful information in these update videos. Thanks for putting them together!
Send me an invite! I cannot promise to be super active but am happy to help answer a question or two when I get a chance!
Keep up the great work Josh, love all the content you share with us every day.
Great video. You never disappoint. We are in the process of searching for the correct fifth wheel for us. Your channel has provided so much great information. Wish you were in Arizona. We may have to make a trip to come see your RV CENTER.
Ty Debbie!!
You're a good guy Josh. I so wish Florida was closer so I could buy that used baby I was 🎣🎣on.
Thank you for the update.
Hoping the best for the upcoming year..
Josh you have the most details and more knowledge than anyone in the business. I live in Florida and am coming up there to buy from you. I talked with Matt and he was great and knew his business well I will buy from him. Keep the detailed videos coming. Thanks gene smith.
TY for sharing Gene! Matt's new and has just the best work ethic I've ever seen. ABSOLUTE definition of a "self-starter" and far more skilled in his time than I was at that point in my career
A Huge Thank You for all you do for all of us. Your information is so much appreciated. Ordered an RV 2 months ago and been hanging on every one of your words regarding what is going on. Hoping 4 the best.
What did you choose?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Forest River Sierra 403Rd
Wanted to change from a Jayco Class C to a destination trailer. When I ordered the SIerra 403RD the estimate was 5 to 6 months. Since finding your channel and listening to all that is going on in the industry all I can say now is who knows when it will be built and available. Thank you again Josh for all the information you share.
@@elizabethjames3440 oh fun! You'll have a good time with that :)
I busted up at the “it ain’t fiction, just an actual fact” comment. Lol good one.

Great job as always Josh. You are the best in the biz. Can't wait to hear about the 2022 model updates on the Freedom Express. Thanks for all that you do to keep your followers updated with honest accurate information!
I don't think you'll see a lot of EQUIPMENT differences, but I've heard rumor the interior will be VEEEERRRRYYYYY different
I don't have details though.
Keep up the great work Josh. When we are ready to upgrade we will be out to visit Haylett RV for sure.
Looking forward to meeting you! :)
Coming from someone in the steel industry were makin as much as we can but it’s not enough and secondly we’ve got so many repairs needed

TY Phillip!
No problems because of the wind. Congrats on the 100K subscribers!

You da best Josh. Thanks for steeling us as to this summer into winter things to expect in the RV world. bill in Florida
This is old school thinking. Palm harbor Mobile homes and others have been doing this for ever. That's why the can build mobile homes in 30 days. Twice the size of RVs and now the RV industry is getting woke up since demand is so high. Industry should of been looking at was to cut the production time frame along time ago. Don't need a ton of automatic stuff on them. Make it simple and fast with quality control.
You're the best Josh, always appreciate the up front insider information. You've encouraged us at times to check out other RV dealer channels and I have tried, but none are as frank and knowledgeable as you so I don't waste my time anymore. Now if you could point me to your equivalent who focuses more on motorhomes that would be great :p
Ty for the kind words and vote of confidence! Motorhomes are a lot of fun - we just don’t see them in near the same quantities here
We really appreciate the information. Your channel has been a great information source
Ty :)

Super flexible. works for a lot of purposes
seriously the most informative and entertaining videos on RV's out there. Thanks for all you do!
Wow, thanks!
You're the best. Thanks.
Picked up my Toy Hauler Thursday(in Indiana). Ordered in February!!! Anxious to begin my travels with my Harley.
I appreciate your information. Would have supported you and your family had I not felt a loyalty to Indiana businesses.
I can respect that! Please stay around our channel and share your wisdom as an owner as new videos come out!
Thank you again for doing these extra videos!! It's just so appreciated! We enjoyed getting to meet you in person when we made the trip from AZ to meet with Gene. Thanks again for being up front, informative and very entertaining to watch😆
Ty for making the trip and giving me a chance to say hello!
Thank you for all the work you do and for being prepared!
Josh, great video as always. What you've managed to do with a lot of hard work, is to become what I have attempted to do in my industry throughout my career, and that is to serve as a trusted advisor. I think you've shown transparency, honesty and informed opinion for the camping community and it really doesn't get any better than that.
Ty Keith! What do you do in this crazy world??
@@JoshtheRVNerd You’re welcome! I’m a commercial lighting designer and I currently work as a salesperson for a lighting manufacturer’s representation agency in the metro Detroit area.
Great job Josh! Love your reports. I bet when the newbies get tired of camping, you’ll have plenty to sell.
Josh, thanks for all your knowledge and expertise that you share. You’re not just a nerd, but a plethora of information. Wish you had a dealership in Texas, so we could do business with you.
Jayco strung us along on our Eagle HT 272RBOK we ordered in Sept 2020! They moved our build date 5 times, increased our dealers cost 3 times...9 months and they just said not going to build it! Luckily we found the Winnebago 2831RB 3 days later on a dealer lot! Basically the same floor plan!
You did well with that Voyage. We had them here for a time and they are well built and nicely appointed!
If you like mythology, I highly recommend Stephen Fry’s book Mythos. He reads the book in the audio version. It is Excellent.
Thank you Josh! I really appreciate these videos.
Buddy stay the course
Your a Hit.
I sure hope they give us options with nice outdoor kitchens
I'd love to see 12v outdoor fridges finally show up more commonly
@@JoshtheRVNerd great idea, extremely important on campers that don’t allow access to fridge while traveling
Congrats on 100k, and thanks for all the info. If you were in PA, I'd buy from you.
We are actually seriously thinking about driving to Haylett when we’re ready to buy. 573 miles from the Pocono Mountains, but it might just be worth it. Good luck to you, wherever you decide to buy. 😊
We enjoy your overview of all your products. Really like your factory visit to Rockwood make us feel good that we bought a 2406 twin bed. I wish the would not sell a trailer with a side temp refrigerator anymore it junk. The only other problem we had it the kitchen sink fill down the mounts are terrible and te sink should have a lip on it and mounted from under the counter top.
Mr Nerd, Just wanted to give you a smart ass comment poster update. Sorry been way behind. Changed jobs and actually have stuff I like to do outside when the weather Turns warm. I will be back as the Weather turns cold I need to work on my game.
Take care.
The channel is here when you’re ready :)
Look forward to your videos. Thank you for getting this info out.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations Josh you've done more than you know. Bye educating the RVing public me included. Continued success with the next 100,000 subscribers.
TY Paul :)
Thank you for sharing that info. When are the banks going to be more flexible on financing. Seems like they are getting super picky and not making it easy for anyone with less then 700 credit score. Thank you for sharing
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Youre a great guy Josh, keep the awesome videos comin'
We just purchased a Coachmen Freedom Express. It's still being built and they are having parts issues. Unit should be ready middle of June or so. I just hope the manufacturers don't cut corners to push out their products just to service customers who want to buy RV's.
What model did you choose??
Another great video Josh, always informative! And we love your crazy sense of humor😁 We live in Pa and if we had not miraculously found our Coachman Catalina Expedition last October, we were planning a road trip to Hayley RV! We love our new camper, but we were disappointed that we didn't get out to see ya!! Maybe on our next long trip! Keep doing what you do best!
TY for joining us Judi :)
