We had a 2013 Jayco, Jayfeather, that was going through tires much faster than should have been reasonable. After we blew off a wheel assembly, the RV shop showed me the axel, which was clearly marked as rated for maximum 2500 lbs. The listed dry weight of the trailer was 3500. Thankfully, I was in a parking lot, driving about 5km/h when I heard the metal on metal, just before the wheel came off. When I asked the tech about it, he explained that this was pretty common, and they recommend checking your axel rating before you sign for the purchase of your trailer. A new axel on a small trailer ended up being $1, 400, which I was able to get reimbursed, but putting an under rated axel on a moving vehicle / trailer should be illegal.

OMG - you sir are EXACTLY the type of guy I want in my back pocket to find out the REAL TRUTH about my next RV. Planning to buy in the next 9-12 months so I can go full time and wfh, so I'm on the watch for what's out there. Now I find you who can provide me all the tips and understanding to these units that I truly need for when I go to pull the trigger on that purchase - I am one happy lady for sure!! Looking forward to watching many many more of your videos and heading over to your website for more education!. I am soooo glad I found you today Jacob!.

I wonder how many other viewers grabbed a flashlight and crawled around checking flex and Pex fittings in cabinets in their rv! Thanks SO MUCH for your information. You have a big fan here!

I have been waiting for these undercover videos Jacob....so anxious to see GD, Alliance, and Brinkley, although I think I already know what you're going to say! Love how you go through all the systems. Thank you so much for doing these and putting such valuable information out there...Unfortunately too many people just jump in and then complain when it all goes to s__t! Going to Hershey in 2 days to look a bunch over.

I don't own an RV and don't have any plans on buying one.
BUT I do appreciate well thought out, knowledgeable and high quality comparison videos.
Great job and THANK YOU for your service to your viewers. 😀

This is a great concept. I love someone being completely non biased on brand and just giving a true review. As a first time buyer and very new to the RV game this was very informative and truly an eye opener.
I would love to see you review the Rockwood Mili Lite trailers, specifically the 2516s and also the Rockwood Signature 5th Wheels. Looking forward to more videos. Great job 👍

Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and experience with people like me who are thinking about buying an RV but don't have a clue as far as what to look for, I have watched numerous hours of RV videos and just from what I've gleaned So far I'm leaning towards a Rockwood mini lite, I've also looked at Outdoors RV, as well as Northwood and just recently started looking into fiberglass RVs like Casita, escape, Oliver. Etc. Would really like to know your overall opinion on at least a few of these RVs if not all of them. Thanks for all that you do to help people like me.

[krisgarren]

Thanks so much for this content! Would love to see some Rockwood/Flagstaff reviews, specifically Geo Pro or Mini Lites.

[NationalRVTrainingAcademy]

This took some courage but glad you did it. We would love to collaborate with you! Let Todd and I know if you’re open to it and we’ll set something up.

Place a saddle valve on the AC, ID and repair the leak, recharge and your good to go. No need to replace the whole AC. I have personally collected, repaired and used at least 3 over-the-head AC units found in dumpsters outside rv repair centers for a fraction of replacment cost for a replacment AC.

I have no desire to have a bowel movement 2 feet from my kitchen or transport it down the road, but I appreciate your expertise and willingness to educate a consumer.

[lamarromero]

Holy hell. This is amazing. More of this...I want to now the best built RV's out there for the buck!

[TheMachoGabacho]

I’d like to see you review some small overland type campers such as the Coleman Rubicon series, Intech Flyer series and Hiker Trailers. These little campers are super popular right now and some cost up to $60K. I’d like to see how well they’re really built.

Great, in-depth review, covering things that many of us wouldn't even be aware of, or know that there are better options out there. Would appreciate a review of any model Rockwood Mini Lite. We bought a '23 2205S last spring, and have been faitly satisfied. We had a drawer support fail that hadnt been properly secured, and a piece of trim come off. Both pretty quick fixes. We took a tour of the factory in Millersburg, Indiana, snd came away impressed. I highly recommend a potential buyer do this if possible. No better time to see the inner workings, and the workers in action. We had unfettered access, and could ask anyone questions we had. A worthwhile trip for sure. Appreciate your work.

Thanks for providing informative reviews that really provide useful information about RVs. We purchased our first RV way back in 1989 and after spending some time at a dealership and looking at what is on the market, I was amazed at how much crap is being sold. Anyone looking to purchase an entry level RV really needs to do their homework if they want to avoid purchasing a rig that will be worthless in very little time. Your reviews and tips will be tremendously helpful, so keep up the good work!

[RussKinsey]

I’m so glad I found your channel! We’re not even at the “kicking tires” stage, just gathering information. Grand Designs used to be at the top of my list. Based on what you’ve shared about frame design and plumbing, it’s now OFF my list. I’ve signed up for
your free course and will take the paid course once we get closer to picking a unit. Thanks again for the valuable education!!

[jasonsterling]

I would love to see you do 5th wheels...specifically the ones considered "higher end" Alliance Paradigm, KZ Durango Gold and Grand Design Solitude...that would be an interesting comparison as they are all at about the same price point and have identical floor plans

First time seeing your videos, I'm impressed and I'll be subscribing and going to your website... Thank you
