    Great video Jason. It’s so important to look things over for sure. Even when it’s brand new. You can never trust things are done right. So glad you know how all that stuff works. Sonic was pretty yummy, never looks like the commercial though lol. Jovie loved the pet store. Can’t wait to go camping again!🥰♥️😊

    EMBER needs to see this video. Quality Control for every step of the process. You should have a copy of the inspection throughout the build so that when you find a problem they can see where the breakdown has occurred. Schematics of the wiring and plumbing would be helpful too.

    Not trying to make excuses for Amber but this is the first year of their full run of productivity correct? It's similar to a car in my opinion whenever the maker comes out with a new model you never buy the first year because there's always Kinks how they react to those issues or Kinks is key. A company that stands behind their product and helps you in any way they can and rectifies those issues is what I want to see. Every camper that I've ever seen has had minor similar issues granted they are cheaper than the Ember. Have you reached out to ember? To your dealer?

    Wow, what scares me is using what looks like hand screw caps like in a house, not the crimped connectors that can take the vibration of an RV. THAT behind your walls is a cluster duck of problems waiting to happen! Had a Winnebago like that when I was young, lights would work one day, not the next. Dad was always cussing when he found electrical wires that just vibrated apart. I love these, but THIS is scary as hell.

    Just looked at my first Embers today
    I like the 191msl but looking at the cargo doors the gaskets, cabinets etc. I didn’t see anything different than say a Geo Pro. Yes they use duel pane windows, Truma and the layout is not typical and the MSL rear bunk/cargo is what I want in a trailer.
    I didn’t see anything that suggested higher skilled assembly workers. I didn’t see anything that would justify $40,000-$60,000 22ft trailer.
    The quality items stuck to the trailer windows, Truma, suspension, trailer tongue jack etc are higher value than the Geo Pro which was 20-22k pre Covid. These trailers in the 30ish zone starts to make sense but not 40+. No way

    @robertbrowning6525 2 роки тому +3

    FYI your family was never in any danger from the failed crimp or from the the absence of a breaker. Over current protection is not needed or required between a solar panel and its controller as the panel cannot produce enough energy to overheat the wire. Nevertheless a switch or breaker is recommended to prevent arcing of connections when live panels are removed or connected. This is why the external panel connection has a breaker. Almost everyone puts a breaker or switch between the panel and the controller for the sake of maintenance but few seem to put fuses between parallel panels of 3 or more where a fire danger actually exists.

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому +2

      That pure BS, you absolutely need a f@cking breaker or fuse between panels and charge controller, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for sharing. We we’re looking into buying an Ember. We’re not handy like you are . I’m changing my mind about it. Unless I can find someone like you to make these changes like you did.

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому

      Honestly It’s still built better than any other RV on the market including Over priced Black series. STATS MATTER AND NOTHING MATCHES EMBERS CONSTRUCTION METHODS. A lot of companies use azdel, ONLY Ember uses it on interior and exterior. Only airstream uses composite floor with higher screw retention than plywood, Ember uses same thing but twice as thick. The list goes on and on. Before you decides watch “Josh the RV nerd” He details all of the quality very well. All RV’s have issues it’s just a fact!

  • @MG-cw4uc
    @MG-cw4uc 2 роки тому +2

    I haven't seen a good factory install yet on solar. Sloppy and way too expensive. They know they gotcha just thru convenience.

    I believe in quality not quantity so I feel your disappointment. Back when I trimmed houses the main complaint I got was the time I took to complete the job. I ask the contractor do you want it done or do you want it done right? The builder never had a complaint with my work and the buyers were very satisfied. Attention to detail is the key.

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому

      Like I said I would still buy it again because at the end of the day it’s still constructed better than ANY OTHER I HAVE SEEN SO FAR PERIOD, including black series. All of the stats on how it’s constructed compared to any other RV on the market prove there is nothing made better. All brands have issues at some point, Period

It worked great, he got to explore and I got the relief to know he was safe. Sorry about your disappointment in the Ember but so glad, you had a work around! Hugs from Leavenworth KS!

    They didn't give you a book because it's all digital now. The dealership should have given you info on how to download it. It sounds like the dealership was not good during the sale. It also looks like Ember is skimping on quality already. Flagstaff and Rockwood actually set this up the correct way and at least made it look professional. Go power is junk and ember knows it.

I can say that RVs helped me be WAY better at electrical stuff than any other thing Ive owned! including houses!

      Another video I watched showed someone had gone crazy with a hole and jigsaw instead of having a template as to where the hole should be :(

      I like their plan but the help isn't onboard with QA

  • @roydavis2242
    @roydavis2242 2 роки тому

    As many will say, you get what you pay for. As far as screws and such being left, that is common even in the high-end RVs. We never rely on factory installs for solar and such. We have found that it is cheaper and better to have professionals do it, not some person on an "Assembly line" who just wants it done.

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому

      This was a very expensive RV for its size so I guess I was a fool and expected better from them LOL and the solar system it came with is just standard on all or I would have rather not had any of it installed from the factory for sure

    • @Erin-Thor
      @Erin-Thor 2 роки тому +3

      If ember is like other manufacturers, THEIR job is making them as fast as they can, it’s the dealerships job to fix issues under warranty. I would hope that ember watches this and views it as a learning experience. I’ve seen a few Keystone RV’s that went out the door with unbelievable flaws.

    • @Tobynsocks
      @Tobynsocks Рік тому

      I don't know I mean that's the reason for a warranty is just in case anything's wrong it's free to fix. I think he's being a little picky here finding four screws in a hose clamp I'd be excited I got four new screws in a hose clamp for if I need them for something. I see videos where brand new campers leak and other issues like that those are f****** problems. But he obviously didn't call Amber for the dealership he just fixed it himself

  • @AmericanSurvival001
    @AmericanSurvival001 2 роки тому +1

    Unfortunately there are too many companies in this world and RV builders like these guys that their ultimate goal is to make maximum profit with the cheapest and I mean cheapest build possible fortunately they weren’t smart enough to realize the real world that we live in and the reality of consumers taking a few things apart to find out that it’s literally grown together if they’ll pull that kind of crap with the solar system you can imagine all the corners they cut so they could make $57 more! This will definitely preclude me from touching any Amber products. we only get one chance in this world to prove who we are, you can fool me once… there are plenty of other RV makers who understand that if we build the best product we don’t have to worry about our profits I would not trust an ember for longevity…

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому +2

      Dude if you think Ember is built cheap then you obviously don’t know sh!t about Ember or any other cheap stick built RV on the market LOL As far as the construction goes there is NONE on the market that compares PERIOD! Name an RV that uses Azdel on both sides of there walls and ceiling’s instead of wood! You can’t cause there is none! Name another RV that uses composite floor with higher screw retention then plywood, of there is one, airstream, but Embers floor is twice as thick! Name another RV that uses full box steel frame! You can’t , of there are a couple of them that use aluminum frame to try and make it light, probably is aluminum frame allows it to flex and the sh!t above the frame flex’s and breaks. The list goes on so don’t fuckin act like you know better when you clearly Do NOT LOL

    With the factory set up, the converter under the 12V fridge, does it convert shore power to DC to charge the batteries automatically? Are does the inverter need to be turned on during shore power to recharge batteries? Great info. Thanks. I have a 2022 190MDB max solar (3 panels,2ea BB lithium batteries). Mine does great running DC items with inverter off. I turn on inverter and run no AC, my batteries will still drain over night to dead. I got problems somewhere. Dealer over in Missouri 1&1/2 hr drive. Like to figure out myself. My temp on go power usually runs at 111F inverter turned on. Turn inverter off and usual ambient temperature. Love a lot about Ember, but they stretched the capabilities of the max solar.

    • @Itsthekellyschannel
      @Itsthekellyschannel  2 роки тому +1

      The converter should have a charger but I’m not sure, if you have max solar package I would think your after market inverter would have built in charger. With 2 lithium’s we also went dead overnight with inverter off. We now have complete Victron system and 3 batteries, we’ll see how that does soon👍
