We were certain we wanted an Ember at the Hershey RV show. But since then we have seen several YT videos about the poor quality I Keep thinking we dodged a bullet by not buying an ember. They are priced so high that we bought an airstream instead. Thank goodness You are handy and are able to fix it everything good luck.
@@doanegarage - Keep in mind that for a few issues such as Hauling Ember’s floor discoloration, the dealership botched their repair, and Ember took it back and completely redid it, seriously, replaced everything, it’s a new RV.
wow man, i was dead set on getting a 221MSL and like several posts below, i am going to really think about it. I even talked with an owner at a park recently, they had NO issues so i feel like there is some hope. I am convinced that all campers are built on a Friday at 4:45 pm.
I wanted to purchase an Ember, but I'm not so sure now. I know it's a new company, and they're still learning, but you would think they would pay attention better to not get such a bad reputation. Your Ember must have been built on Monday when they were still hungover from the weekend, or it was built on a Friday when they were in a hurry to get to the bar. I want you to inspect my RV when I buy it.
Don’t do it 😂 you want a reliable RV? But the one that has the least amount of features and then add them yourself. Way less things to fix from the factory 😂
Ember reminds me of the time years ago that I took a factory tour of a power catamaran builder that I was going to buy one of their boats. While the engineering and marketing for the company were great the workers in the factory building the boats looked like a bunch of drunks and drug addicts. I ended up buying a semi-custom catamaran from a family owned builder thereby dodging a bullet. Ember appears to have the same issue where your final product is as only as good as your worst employee. While the owners and engineers Pat themselves on the back because of their superior product they never bother to step foot on the factory floor to check on their drunks and drug addicts building the trailers. Thanks for the video.
My wheel chocks come loose all the time. I bought quality wheel chocks at our local farm store. For my solar, i had to re-enter battery values i got from battle born. My trailer came set on Gel batteries. It took me 2 months to discover the error. I for the longest just thought solar was over hyped. I didn’t realize the solar problem was they aren’t set at the factory nor at the dealer.
Man I’m so glad I found your video! Watching other videos the Ember looked like a real high quality unit but seeing all the problems you’ve had there is no way I will be buying one. That’s totally ridiculous that you have to do all of that repair work. And, this trailer is so expensive… ridiculously too expensive for that quality!
@jesseernest4979 did you watch the video? Or just jump straight to comments. There’s screenshots of messages from the warranty department. This is a hobby channel. Nowhere being monetized. Don’t forget to like and subscribe. We purchased it new out of state. There’s other videos where I go get the thing. It pays to be handy. I like to DIY which is why I started the channel. Don’t be jealous. Keep the engagement coming tho It is a new product. But they had touted their industry vets and decades of experience. There’s nothing new or novel about this camper compared to others. They’re just over priced. And ember cheaps out on labor costs and passes on the warranty service to dealers which are notoriously under staffed and under educated. So no I’m not waiting for poor service when I can do it myself
No. First person I talked to said “don’t know. good luck” when asking about some issues. Next person wanted me to pay out of pocket and to be reimbursed. Neither would have factory service done. And told me to take it to a dealer. AFAIK both left the company long time ago. Did get kicked out of their Facebook group tho. Can’t remember if it was before or after the video. Groups are full of folks with issues. Many worse off than mine.
@AdventureRocks in truth it’s not all bad. I’ve learned a lot about its systems. So far the frame seems ok. Tows well. Taking it out next month. So I got to address some more issues real soon
Like you, I watch videos about amber trailers and how they’re built different and the quality is there when they first came out how disappointing the price you paid for this trailer and this is what you have to do to make it right it’s ridiculous😢
Wow ember was on my short list.😢 I saw a video on the mini winnebago that had tons of things wrong the minute they got it home. Watch out for dometic appliances failing too.😢☹
I wouldn't use GoPower in a dog's house. I expected a lot from Ember as I am looking for a decent "off road, boondocking" capable camper. I thought the solar Li option would be good until I saw the componets.....I'm old school Victron.....it works! I will continue to look at other campers. I will also only use Victron but with SOK batteries. I have seen other vids with water leaks....the front door can be a leaker also. I hope things get better for you.
Thanks Richard. I’ll keep an eye on the door. After swapping to Victron it’s night and day difference. I installed a second controller when I added another 200w. I’ll soon have 900w and 300ah. Video on that soon.
Sad to hear this, their not cheap in price! You're not the first YT video showing the many problems their having. I mean all TT's have something. But not this bad: I decided on a Grand Design XLS 22mle and one loose wire and and a bad pull handle on the dump valve after 8k miles. The Ember is a cool TT but how sad the workmanship!
How sad you’re not the only one that has faced abundance of issues with their Ember. So I backed off and went with a Grand Design and no real issues other then black-out shades and warranty sent me out new ones and I replaced them myself. For the amount of money you spent on that rig it’s sad. No one should go through what your going through! As of today I hope it’s been worked out…Sadly no real Lemon Laws pertaining to this industry.
I just got done fixing my refrigerator before a trip next week. I could count on one hand the issues we had with our GD. Miss that thing. But I’m running out of fingers and toes with the Ember.
You’re right. But scheduling appointments months out and being without our camper for the weeks or months it’ll take to fix its many issues is more trouble. I’d rather fix it myself now and enjoy as much as we can. Got more fixes coming soon.
@@doanegarage ah. Ok. Yea it can take awhile to get service at some places. It only took about a week for bishs to get mine back in after I bought it. I have an ember touring addition. Just minor things to fix after I tested it out. But honestly I had the same type of issues with my previous trailer after purchase.
I own an Ember and have found many similar issues. Their quality control is nonexistent and the employees are clearly lazy as hell with no pride in workmanship. The only positive is it tows great with the new suspension.
Thanks for sharing Doane What a joke Ember is. They seem to have picked up all the bad habits from the other RV builders. I certainly won't waste my money on an Ember....
This is why I did not buy another travel trailer after I sold my last one price is too high quality is too low insurance storage and just pure headache of trying to get a campsite.😢
Curious your VIN #, but i also understand if you don’t want to share that info. But i heard, and i believe, lots of problems for lower VINs. My wild guess is maybe above 1,000 things improved. My new hobby is me, my Ember and my Toolbox 😂.
It’s low enough I’m sure. Got lots of work planned for it. I just broke the chock last weekend. And some other upgrades and additions coming. I’m just counting my blessings. So far I’ve been able to fix most things myself. Keep that toolbox stocked. Praying for dry weather. Haven’t fixed the slide leak yet 😬☔️
@@doanegarage that is my view. Luckily i have the tools and somewhat solar knowledge. I kinda joked it’s my new hobby fixing it, but it rather true. One thing I can’t understand is, i have seen many people say Ember sent them boxes of parts. I asked for things, all they sent was a owners manual and advice to go to my dealer. I don’t want to drive 70 miles one way and not see it for 3-4 months. My dealer is overflowing with work. I have been a diesel/truck mechanic for years. Farm mechanic. I not sitting out the season because my RV is awaiting repairs next state over.
What is really bad, is that Ember’s Production Manager is hyped to have many years of production experience. -Apparently brought NOTHING but bad quality control and the same old garbage industry standard trash into Ember. *OLD habits do not rehabilitate themselves into energetic, fresh, new commitments to quality. You either have a work ethic or you don’t. •Pay-check players don’t make the All-Star Team, and don’t care to. They show no heart for anything but their own payday. Too Bad. Ember’s concepts for products are attractive but: 1)-Their MSRP is $10k too high. 2)-Quality of assembly is terrible. 3)-Needs Convection Microwave unit 4)-Implement customer suggestions and don’t ignore the soiling of your brand for fixable issues. Notes: With the slow-down of the entire industry now, Ember should PERFECT their employee assembly performance. Initiate 100% guarantee fit/finish and 100% factory guarantee that every unit is fully system functional and turn-key ready to camp when leaving Ember’s factory. Dealers should not have to fix sloppy assembly craftsmanship, nor the customers rectify bad assembly issues at all! Customers should be able to camp in these units for 10,000 miles without ANY issues popping up, and what pops up after 10k should not be anything more than a loose screw.
When a new car model enters the market, it's best to wait a year or two , till all the kinks are worked out. There seems to be an abundance of issues for this fairly new manufacture after watching several owner reviews of their Ember.. How's the saying go, first impression is a lasting impression. Quality control stars at the to top, and trickles down to the physical works, which seem to be non existent.
You only get one chance to make a first impression and Ember totally blew it. On Ember's website they proudly display all the years of RV experience they have and look how that turned out. What did they learn over all those years? Not much. Why didn't these people go camping in prototypes and fix the myriad of issues before launching? I hate to even suggest this but perhaps the federal government should regulate the RV industry like they do the automotive industry. Buy a molded fiberglass camper and your headaches will be greatly reduced.
@@doanegarage All the Ember customers that feel like they've been duped should file a class action lawsuit. Ember was one of my contenders then became a finalist and then I started hearing about all the issues and now they are in the Hall of Lame / Shame.
I have other videos of picking it up. It’s a 2022 171fb. I hear new builds are better. But I’m not holding my breath. Ember isn’t working on mine no. And the people I talked to no longer work there. I’ve read comments from people saying ember worked on theirs. And the dealer we made an appointment at never actually called us to come in. So I did it myself. Camping it now as I type this. Good luck on your purchase. Just don’t buy it out of state. You’re gonna want a dealer close by.
Doesn't look like Ember's build practices or quality is any different than any other RV manufacturer. I'm not at all impressed with the disaster of wiring and stuff under the bed. Looks like a big birds nest. The rubber flap at the top of the slide is mounted too close the top of the slide form what I can tell. It's a wiper seal, so it should flip OUT when the slide goes out and flip IN when the slide comes in, just like how a windshield wiper flips when it changes direction. EPIC FAIL on Ember's part.
Why didn’t you find all of these deficits when you did your initial walk-through before you signed the documents and before you gave them earnest money.! Were all of those deficits there when you did your initial walk-through before signing the documents? I have owned over 30 personal use RVs. I have never had an issue other than surplus found screws and odds and ends. Nothing catastrophic nothing major certainly nothing to make a video out of Again what other things did you find through your initial walk-through before you signed the documents and before you gave them earnest money I’m curious is all right now I own a 40 foot quad slide toy hauler and a significantly shorter camper for weekend trips no issues
Ok, well this is the last EMBER poo-poo quality video i need to watch...Not purchasing. Anyone have any experience with Northwood RV, or their sister brand Outdoors RV? I hear they do very small batch production runs, and keep everything in house, down to their frame. They have an optional "off the grid" package. The styling is more classic, but everything i've seen shows solid build quality and materials(I know there will still always be problems)
I run the ''Unofficial Ember RV Group'' and I'm only 50 miles from La Grande Oregon were those trailers are made. Love my Ember because I can fix it myself, but yes NW/OD RV would be next for me.
I have a 2015 outdoors rv. I love it. Very well built and true four season. I spent winter in it with many nights below zero and single digits with no issues. Recommend finding used model 2014-2019. Think these are better built than later years. However the 2023 models seem really nice. These are heavy. Most need a 1 ton truck to pull but can do with 3/4 for smaller models. I am always looking at trailers and have considered changing just for newer functions then I go sit in my trailer and appreciate the quality.
I have a 2016 ORV and for the most part it is a good unit. Rusty frames. poor assembly on the wiring and similar lack of caring affect all the MFG. I went through mine with a fine tooth comb finding bad stripping, very bad battery cable crimps, and several broken rv assembly screws. After a few days of doing my own QC, all was sorted and it has been pretty much trouble free. Northwood has a good reputation and they build a true 4 season rigs that work well.
No feeling so bad about my old piece of shit 98 prowler it’s got a heavier build and us still around this thing will only make it a couple winters seriously
Howdy sir , vvhat 'name' behind ember , it must be a person human wright? Are they send units or spareparts to foreign with quality? (Similar to kenw🗑rth TX , they still manufacturing c🇺🇸bovers truck with big block diesel behind scenes send it to babiesKr😧😲kers in austr🏚lia & others) 🙏 May GodAlmighty pour out HolySpirit u , i hope u have CHRIST in ur heart 🙏😊

wish i coulda watched a couple more videos instead of making one..
Thanks for posting. No trailer made within 300 miles of Elkhart is anything but disposable. The industry is low-cost. You get what you pay for.
For better or worse this is the last one we buy. So far tho after fixing it up it’s not bad.

is that Ember’s Production Manager is

bad quality control and

a work ethic or you don’t.
•Pay-check players
don’t make the All-Star Team, and don’t care to.
They show no heart for
anything but their own payday.
Too Bad. Ember’s concepts for products
are attractive but:
1)-Their MSRP is $10k
too high.
2)-Quality of assembly is terrible.
3)-Needs Convection Microwave unit
4)-Implement customer

I bought it out of state and it wasn’t raining when I walked it. I brought it home to Florida and rained day 1. Thanks. Don’t forget to subscribe.
Call ember manufacturer. They will take care of you.
Ember was incredibly unhelpful. Hence the video.
Thank you for the video…please lose the music.
Everyone’s a critic.
Pay me and I’ll use whatever music you like. Until then I choose.
Thanks for watching Anthony.
we looked at ember.......so glad we.did not buy one
Ok, well this is the last EMBER poo-poo quality video i need to watch...Not purchasing. Anyone have any experience with Northwood RV, or their sister brand Outdoors RV? I hear they do very small batch production runs, and keep everything in house, down to their frame. They have an optional "off the grid" package. The styling is more classic, but everything i've seen shows solid build quality and materials(I know there will still always be problems)
I run the ''Unofficial Ember RV Group'' and I'm only 50 miles from La Grande Oregon were those trailers are made. Love my Ember because I can fix it myself, but yes NW/OD RV would be next for me.
I have a 2015 outdoors rv. I love it. Very well built and true four season. I spent winter in it with many nights below zero and single digits with no issues. Recommend finding used model 2014-2019. Think these are better built than later years. However the 2023 models seem really nice. These are heavy. Most need a 1 ton truck to pull but can do with 3/4 for smaller models. I am always looking at trailers and have considered changing just for newer functions then I go sit in my trailer and appreciate the quality.
I have a 2016 ORV and for the most part it is a good unit. Rusty frames. poor assembly on the wiring and similar lack of caring affect all the MFG. I went through mine with a fine tooth comb finding bad stripping, very bad battery cable crimps, and several broken rv assembly screws. After a few days of doing my own QC, all was sorted and it has been pretty much trouble free. Northwood has a good reputation and they build a true 4 season rigs that work well.
#imo just my opinion #EMBER is complete trash......sorry js
Ok
No feeling so bad about my old piece of shit 98 prowler it’s got a heavier build and us still around this thing will only make it a couple winters seriously
Howdy sir , vvhat 'name' behind ember , it must be a person human wright?
Are they send units or spareparts to foreign with quality?
