    European RVs may be small, but the built quality is superb! American RVs are big, but they build RVs like grandpa's or grandma's houses, especially the interiors.

    In North America most of the motor homes are built with the worst quality. 1-2 years after you buy them, they are in the shop for 3-8 months for yearly repairs. Problem is you have 5 different systems, electrical, mechanical, plumbing etc. These motor homes are built by essentially 3rd parties not a real car company, ie like Mercedes. They source bits and pieces from all over to make a money pit on wheels.

      Same in UK including motorhomes imported from abroad. Also caravans, held together with mastic and staples! Everything these days is fast and faster, quick as possible grab the money.
      Under warranty you have to return them from where it was bought, even if it was hundreds of miles away! Unlike cars there are no main agents.
      Annual services arent services, its no more than confirm things are working!

      American manufacturers compete on opulence and features, Europeans on engineering. It basically comes down to much more lenience toward weight and size in the USA. The top model of Knaus here has a gross vehicle weight of 11,000 lbs. A Winnebago of the same length has a GVWR of 14,5000 lbs.

      I'm speaking of things like slideouts, large fridges, generators, plushy couches, elaborate 110 volt nets and large solar arrays, air conditioning , all kinds of exterior hookups, powerful and 4x4 options.
      And they can do it because it's not a huge problem to live with a 30ft 15000lbs vehicle in large parts of the USA.
      That most of them are designed like Granny's underwear is a pity, but that wasn't really the point.
      Yes, you can have all that in some euro RVs, but it is uncommon, and in the US it is. The *common* euro RV is much more limited in size and weight, and hence has to be clever to make the most of these limits. It's a fundamental difference in the approach.

    • @choosumfat
      @choosumfat Рік тому

      @@Lonestar24 I actually did not. You can have slide-outs (some much more interesting that what we have), larger fridges and elaborate everything. It's just a question of money. And as for them being common here, arguable. Most are just run of the mill class B/C with similar extent of basic equipment and capacity. The one pictured here is a 28' Class C equivalent. Sure it is pretty large for European setting (hence DL requirements) but you see them.
      Of course there will be differences in what people feel they like or need here vs there, and there will be some extremes, but that does not change the fact that our RVs are little more than slapped together livingrooms on wheels (most actually not more at all). The grandma aspect doesn't so much bother me because of style (whatever floats one's boat) but rather because it's so primitive in design/execution. And while true that across the pond size and weight limitations are far stricter and therefore RVs usually smaller/lighter, they are just as spacious, capacious and comfortable on the inside simply because of - from I have seen and experienced on few occasions of RVing thru France/Spain - so much better use of space and materials. They're way quieter than our typical Chevy or E-450 based RVs, too.
      Now it could be I'm talking out of my ass generalizing, I don't own an RV. I do like RVing though and occasionally rent them both in the US/Canada and in Europe and from my experiences, there's really no question which I would rather have (same money really).

      Obviously you are interested in motorhomes, otherwise you would not have looked at the report. If you do so with a preconceived opinion, you will only get in your own way and you will never experience the pleasant sides of a free and absolutely self-determined vacation. Of course, there are many bad models on the market but to follow a Steve Lehto, who demonstrably gives his opinion for money, or better demonstrably formulates in the desired direction of his clients is short-sighted. And never generalize everything you hear. Rent a good motorhome for a vacation and experience something very special.

Considering they came all the way from Germany to Australia, they bolted up first time with zero need for mods. They were perfect. A very rare thing in multi factory manufacturing.

      @@Gexmini In the U.S. if a NEW vehicle gets sent back to the dealership something like three times in the first year for long (specified) periods of time, the law permits owner to declare (with appropriate receipts) that the vehicle is "a lemon." This may not be the legal term. All dealerships of new cars AND trucks in the U.S. have to (and DO) take back and replace the entire vehicle. You may need an attorney who is a Lemon Law specialist like Steve Lehto in Michigan, but maybe not. They say this law has had a dramatic effect on lazy build quality in the US (recent GMC disgraces aside). RV "manufacturers" who don't really manufacture, they assemble and re-do things at an effectively structural level, managed to lobby themselves an exception to this consumer protection. Buying an RV is a VERY risky proposition. You need any warranty related promises in a legal document.

    They sure don't build them like they used to. I would hate to get into an accident in that thing because it would look like a drink can or foam exploded all over the road mixed with "high quality" plastic. When you have to lift the frame to screw the foam wall to it you would think someone would think maybe this isn't strong enough to last but as they said reducing weight is their primary concern.

    why, please why, please explain this insistence on your narrator using the term "so called", i have watched several of your videos and the narrator seems to have some pathologic need to use this term. does he in fact know what the term is used for ? i doubt it
    so called= "You use so-called to indicate that you think a word or expression used to describe someone or something is in fact wrong. ".. I.E. "she could trust him more than any of her so-called friends"
    so if this narrator stating that what these manufacturers is saying or calling there products services etc etc is wrong ?
    to have lets say a fuse box, and say "this is a so called fuse box", just sound stupid.. it is a fuse box because that is what it is, if it was made of chocolate then you could maybe use the term, but most sensible humans would call it a chocolate fuse box, to say an item is a so called inverter when the item is in fact an inverter is to imply the item isnt in fact a full on inverter, you imply it is something else that maybe could possibly also be inverter like in function
    stop it, just no, your so called narrator need to cut it the so called hell out

They're just a money loser for the shop. The motorhomes based on class 8 tractor chassis look like they might be a little better. Seems like a good idea to rent one if you want one occasionally. As it said with a lot of toys. The Best Day is when you buy it and when you sell it.
