We purposely looked for an older model class C which was well taken care of rather than buying a newer one. We found a 98 which looks like it just came off the showroom, but was used every year and has only 46k on an "old school" 7.4l Chevy 454 which was well cared for. All I did was have the tranny and diff serviced, changed the oil and went camping. The Onan generator only has 112 hrs on it and the previous owner plumbed a separate tank to it so we can fill it with premium to run the genset and makes it easier to winterize!
I own a 1995 Thor Citation 30ft TT with the polar pak. There's absolutely no way I'd trade it in for a new TT. Everything works as it should. Through frame slide, plumbing doesn't leak. Great for freezing weather.
Just sayin 😊
Off topic but….have you done any videos on an Outdoors Rv (ORV)? Manufactured in Oregon.
I have been RV'ing for eight years and have learned A WHOLE LOT about RV's, the industry and issues that can arise while owning an RV. Notwithstanding, I would not buy and RV today, without having it inspected by and independent contractor hired by me. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to hire an inspector and this is where Jacob comes in. IMO (I do not know Jacob) if you can't hire an inspector then his videos, APP and consultation are invaluable for us. I would consult him before buying an RV so I do not waste my time looking at problematic brands, once he has guided me I would go shopping with the APP so that I know exactly what to look for and save myself a whole lot of headaches and money. It is by far the best value you can get for the money.
We’re going on 4 years with ours and not upgrading any time soon.
Very different video and I enjoyed your comments. No one has ever provided these perspectives.
Thanks for watching! Glad the video was helpful!
So thankful I found your channel and valuable insight, knowledge, and REAL talk approach. I recently purchased an RV, and the guys were stunned by my knowledge of how to evaluate the mechanical systems. I told them about your awesome teaching channel/app. 😊
Thanks for watching! Glad the video was helpful!
I’m glad I found his channel, just wish it would have been 1 1/2 years after buying one. I may not have even bought one, especially a new one. I don’t like buying used stuff today, because of so many unscrupulous people out there. That being said, with Jacobs course, I probably would have been much better off getting a well kept used one, at least I would have saved a bundle, lol.
Thanks for watching! So glad it's been helpful!
Appreciate your videos. Are there two models of the BAL cable system, with one being better than the other? I was looking at an Alliance Paradigm, but hesitated. Not sure why Alliance changed to the cable system, but wish they would change back!!!
I share your thoughts on the accuslide system however the schwintek system is horrible on overweight/oversize slide outs. Stay away from ANY system that has the entire side of a camper slide out particularly schwintek. IMO the RV’s don’t have the structural strength for full length slide out, over time they settle, warp, diamond, just plain move in different directions and eventually bind up.
Also too much “tech” is put into rvs making them a constant source of aggravation, your on vacation, camping,keep it simple. A place away from home, but, not a home away from home.
Hey Jacob I really like your channel. I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on the quality of two motorhomes for me, the leisure unity and the BT cruiser. Thank you
Good information Jacob!
Thanks for watching! Glad the video was helpful!
Good points. TY
Thanks for watching!
