JD Powers indicates that RV sells for "low retail" of $37,000 and "average retail" of $44,800. Right now the RV market is in steep decline. Many people bought them during Covid, now they don't like paying for registration/insurance/storage, and they're dumping them into the used market. Two big RV manufacturers just went under, and many dealerships are closing.

Seems like a great unit. And hey, if it doesn't sell, you can turn it into an Air B&B, right there on your lot! Just get some folding chairs, a small table and an umbrella out front.

I never thought I would enjoy an RV video. Looks like a great RV to own. Usually the RV videos I see are from copart. Wrecked. Great to see a nice one for once.

with all your knowledge ,experience ,and honesty dealing with dealerships ,and auto shops ,with less overhead and headache's ,you could have our own consultant business people would pay you for your experience ,honesty, in buying a car from any dealership in the U.S.A.. , if you were behind it .That was just a thought get away from used cars,, auctions ,and repairs .and all your overhead problems .Good Luck Kid !!!

Best way to get one is after the original owner had all the problems fixed...looks good so far!

Sorry to see it was built by Forrest River. They are about at the bottom of the Qquality chain. Being a Ford chassis is the least of your worries.

Pretty cool , I hear the excitement in your voice ❤. This RV is A real curve ball to your channel👏

Hopefully you can sell it pretty quick my friend had the same unit very similar for a year and a half with 33,000 miles on it. It hasn’t gone anywhere camper prices have kind of cooled off.

Why not you and the little Lady take it on a weeks vacation in Florida? Try out that big bed?❤

That bed ain’t big enough

The bed is an RV Queen. No, you can't lay up there above the cab and drive. The law requires you be seated with a seat belt on. "If the camper's rockin', don't be knockin'". The black thing on the roof over the bed isn't an A/C. It's a Superfan. You can replace it with a second A/C, which I recommend. If you go anywhere over 80 degrees outside, you'll want a second A/C. You've got the power to run two, even off grid with that generator. BTW, I live full time in a 44' Class A diesel pusher. Feel free to ask me anything, if you decide to keep it.

Absolutely. I've heard of full-timers that come back to find their pet in serious trouble from a failed AC unit, so a backup is critical if you plan to use it for longer than a night or two on the road.

Nice, My brother has one of these. He loves it. I said the same thing when I first saw it, "Really a Ford?" lol

63k miles is not really low miles on a motorhome... and a 1000hrs on the gen means a lot of camping off the grid... it's been well used.

Great video Mike 😎

Best part of the video is all those toys for tots boxes. Great job guys

Looks like a cool camper. It has more TV's than most houses do.

Wow! RV is awesome that what my wishlist is.

Happy Thanksgiving yall

Wondered if can see the box from Walmart that sent the preschool Barbie doll? Saw a box on top in one of the Toys for Tots boxes so figured it was it. If not able to is cool. Just curious.

In many states you need to have an RV inspected and get a certificate of occupancy before you can sell one , also regular car dealers can't sell them in many states.

Spend the couple grand for the inspection as a buyer and if it passes, good deal. Worst case, you have CYA for both seller and buyer.

I helped a good friend sell one a little smaller but with the same Ford drivetrain. It sold fairly quick in the low $30ks.

The RV market is glutted/awash with used inventory, so there are decent deals to be had. You can make a lot of money re-selling RVs if you are smart about it, since people looking for one don't want to drive all over the state to look at them/want a proper inspection done/etc. Unlike buying cars here it's mixed, it's usually worse to by a RV from an individual versus a dealer.

Awesome show my friend.

Sold a lot of rv’s on my car lot don’t worry about a sale,hope you bought it in right,

Try parallel parking it if you get lost owntown in a large city and there’s no where else to park. Then again what are the odds you’re going to find two or three parking spots for this behemoth? Easier than a diesel pusher though.

The concern about RV roof is leaks. See those grey spots on the roof? That's puddles. Puddles need to drain. Draining goes down. You might want to check into that.

The roofs are usually one piece, though, so fixing it is as simple as spraying a thick sealer compound after gluing up any cracks/seams.

Ford is the only one supplying chassis. Chevy has been out of that business for at least a decade or more. I don’t think we even have production codes for Chevy chassis anymore (I work for Winnebago)

@@STORMZ8 We haven't seen one since 2014 and the businesses we've acquired in the last 10 years have been out of Chevys for a while too! Closest we came is Newmar was using Spartan Chassis on some of their class "A" gasoline units but I'm not sure what they're using for power as the GM 8.1 has been out of production for a while. To clarify we still get Mercedes and Ram Provan cutaways and Transits. I thought we were done with Econoline based units, they were off the Ford website and hadn't seen any for a while. I take some vacation and when I get back there's 200 of them on the ground. Heck the Winnebago dealer in Forest City Iowa (home of Winnebago) used to be a Chevrolet/Winnebago dealer until about 6-8 years ago when they built a new Winnebago only building across the street from their Chevrolet dealer then sold their Chevy Dealership to the Ford Dealer from the county to the south moving forward as a Winnebago only point. They do well for folks that don't want a lot of delivery miles on their new unit and have done some concierge parts service, meaning if the factory has a part they'll have Winnebago put it in Will-Call, pick it up and get it out with next day air service. The city I live in has two businesses that build truck bodies and also sell complete service and refuse trucks. The joke is one of the problems with our little city is as soon as a vacant lot becomes available some one buys it and fills it full of new light and medium duty truck chassis waiting for their bodies.

What about that longbeach red c7....

Nooooo, don't sell it. Keep it for that vacation Mrs. Chevy Dude can't get you to take. 😀

Those are teenie tires for that size vehicle.😲

Starting a new wall for RV’s?

I was reminded by this video about a question I had. You say this motorhome has low mileage at 63,000 miles and I notice you have called several cars with 100,000+ miles low mileage. Around here the long time used car lots with good reputations for top customer service used to make a big point of advertising that none of the cars on their lot had more than 50,000 miles. And CarMax used to label some cars "ValueMax" if they had more than 100,000 miles or were more than 10 years old, but they no longer sell those. What is your ideal car to have in your inventory based on mileage and age and why?

Wong time of year RV

Should the striping on the RV's driver's door start extending from the front fender? Looks like there's a piece missing there. Sincerely, --Armchair Critic On second look, the passenger side is the same, so...

Get some lounge chairs and sit on the roof like Trapper John MD.

Happy Thanksgiving Mike. I have an extended warranty on 2004 trailblazer. The transmission broke. When I called the warranty company I had to give them 20 years of maintenance records. I took them to court and won. Do you know who wants to buy a 2004 trailblazer with 97000 miles. 4 wheel drive.

On an RV, anything over about 3-5k miles a year is HIGH MILES!

What did he trade for the rv?

Grant deserves at least an A! lol

That was different

Boats, campers and RV's are nothing but lawn ornaments

Most the Chevrolet engines on RV's end up having problems. Fords usually don't. 😊

I owned a shop before I retired that serviced all types of vehicles. We were actually a workhorse dealer so we saw tons of rvs. 63,000 miles and over 1000 hours on the generator is not low mileage. It's actually kinda high. Rarely did we see a coach with that many miles. Plus its a forest river. Good luck

Please don’t you have always been nice. Not now. 😂😂😂

If you get a good profit off the RV, I say bump him up to at least a B+.

You never know when you might want to open “Mike’s Bordello on Wheels”.

This will be a big problem for you

This is why you’re incapable of running a used car lot a new dealership look at your mistakes she never made them I would known been in the car business for 55 years never been maiden snake like that that’s inexperience and you’re the man that let it happen it’s I hope it put you out of business. You’ll learn a lesson and go to work for a dealer again and make your hundred thousand dollars a year and not worry about anything, that’s where you belong GM will never give you a dealership you’re not capable of running so both your houses take all your money you still don’t have enough money to buy a dealership and at this point look at them all over the country they’re hurting big time and until the credit situation improves, the interest improves you’re out of business so few people can afford to buy a car. Good luck brother one next car dealer to one that will be an ex later brother
