A large RV parts supplier asking you to remove a KZread video speaks volumes as too your influence on the RV industry. You are humble, honest and straightforward type of guy and that scares them. Keep up the great work.

You did the right thing. Your integrity is the key to subscribers. Keep it up.

The entire RV industry is corrupt after 20 years of RVing we sold our RV and are selling our truck and we are done. Lippert is a huge reason for this as they make or have a part in the products in most RV manufacturers. I should not have to warranty major components such as leaf springs and axles on a fifth wheel due to their poor quality control. Frames should not be cracking die to poor quality control.

Lippert is nothing more than a big conglomerate and they couldn’t care less about the consumer. And in my experience dealing with them they don’t stand behind their components either. Unfortunately they’ve bought out so many smaller companies that used to make great products and made them cheaper and charge more money.

Unfortunately Lippert is used in some fashion in almost every RV. There seem to be no incentive for Lippert or RV manufactures to do better. Almost every long term RV review has some complaint about a Lippert product. It’s a sad reality of the RV Industry.

To bad our politicians aren't as honorable as you are. To me, honesty and integrity is EVERYTHING!

I have been frustrated with my Lippert auto-leveling system. But what frustrates me the most is that Lippert buys up all these other companies. I can't stand that they don't have competition. Competition is good for the consumer, and Lippert doesn't like it and buys up everything they see. I didn't even know Lippert owns Ranch Hand, I'll never buy that product now. I don't want Lippert to go away, I want other companies to compete with Lippert, forcing Lippert to have to innovate and become more competitive. I personally started to dislike Lippert because of a previous social media guy, "the Mustache." but it has just gone down hill from there.

Allow me to throw this out. I’ve had issues with my 2007 Monaco Dynasty. I bought a new step controller from Lippert and a new gear plate and motor from another provider. I rebuilt the steps and ended up with the same problem. I called the tech department at Lippert and spoke with them. They went above and beyond trying to help me with the issue. They sent me the manual for the steps and a new gear plate for free. The employees have always been great to me. Maybe their equipment sales suck but their parts department and tech people rock.

Great video, appreciate the explanation. So much integrity! -Cheers from Alberta.

Bought glass patio door inserts from lippert for my toy hauler. Were broken when arrived due to ridiculous packaging. Explained to customer service issues with packaging and they were good about sending out replacement but packed the same with broken parts again. I was able to salvage enough from the two shipments to make it work with another shipment of connectors sent to me. Lippert customer support was very nice but packaging incompetence cost them. Maybe why their prices are so high. We do love our patio doors even though costly.

It never ceases to amaze me that a Company that starts off great, Is completely transparent and listens to criticism from its customers and makes changes ti make improvements suddenly decides that business model that has made them one of the great companies in an industry suddenly decides to get greedy and starts doing shady things like all 3 things you pointed out. I would not be one bit suprized if they end up closing up shop in the middle of the night with in the nextyear or two. When people are depending on your products while they are hundreds of miles away from home, They want quality. I do not always agree with how you test or the reasoning behind an opinion that you have, but you do honest reviews and video your testing so we can make our own informed decisions. Out of curiosity, Have had an upper managements change since your first signed on with them? Thanks for doing what you do and keeping it honest.

Very good video. I have a Lippert rebranded N(Everchill) fridge (Chinese - Way Interglobal) 12V fridge in our Forest River camper. The fan failed at 14 months and after removing, it became obvious its a small computer fan motor with a large fan attached. Compared to a LG or Samsung, it is way underbuilt for the task. Lippert, with the frame flex issues, may finally suffer the consequences of under-engineered products with the costs associated with cutting corners.

2 weeks ago I installed Lippert's Road Armour Equalizer. To my surprise when I had to order the HD wet bolt kit, I found out that the kit was almost $300. (Now the kit has 8 HD shackles, 14 wet bolts and 14 nuts). It's a bag of nuts, bolts and shackles and the charge $290!) On top of that the shackles were out off tolerance. They did not seat properly. I reordered and got the same of quality. I ended up having to file out the holes so the shackles would slide on to the shackle assembly. Just amazed at the price... probably $10 of hardware. What a rip off. I appreciate you following your integrity compass.

Wish there were more people like you. I applaud you for not selling out your values for money.

@@WanderingWeekends yeah it’s not fair to include the entire industry in that statement but dang there’s sooo many cooked dealers excluding manufacturers warranty, not honoring extended warranty or packages they’ve sold for reasons like the seals weren’t maintained every 6 months, crooked manufacturers offering bribes and hush offers (not referring to one influencer with initials LA), and so on.

Great job, great presentation of the facts, not emotions. Seems to me that it’s pretty much common knowledge that the agreement up front is; reviewer will give a straightforward, honest evaluation of the product and the manufacturer takes an inherent risk when sending the product to the reviewer and the reviewer may conclude based upon individual experience and evaluation of the product that they may, if appropriate, have some negative discoveries to report, if that is their honest conclusion. I’m shocked (maybe she was new to her position and did not receive sufficient training) that a person in her position did not understand how this process works. Keep up the great work. Lippert is a multi Billion dollar corporation with a superb international reputation and I’m starting to surmise that the Gal who called you was let loose to her new position short of receiving the training that she needed. Keep On Keeping On!

I bought the metal table when sams club clearanced it out last year for $25 roughly. Now I'm looking for the ranch hand video. I live in Texas in the country and I'm one of the few who doesn't have one on my truck. I'm interested in what you didn't like, I know of at least 8 instances where friends and relatives have hit deer and other hard obstacles with no damage. I've seen cheaper competitors bumpers pushed thru the grill.

Lippert owns Ranchhand too? I won't be going with that bumper for my 2023 F250, which i saw that video and became concerned because I would most likely end up in the same situation installing it myself. Don't blame you for dissolving the relationship with Lippert. Ethics stand for something.

Great video. You did the right thing. I see their emails on accessories and I don't buy from them because of their prices.

We support you guys on this 100%.

You're spot on and right about these large corporation RV providers. There is nobody closer to a monopoly in the business than Lippert. Every manufacturer out there seems to be locked in to something that they provide. My toy hauler came with the Tire-Linc module already installed and wired up. Of course this was a ploy since I had to purchase the sensors and then get a monitor that would display the information to use it. The 2.5" monitor cost as much or more as an entire system that I could get on Amazon. And to pour salt in the wound, the one from Lippert was not nearly as good. There is nothing wrong and they aren't breaking any law as far as I know selling things 2-3 times more expensive than you can buy elsewhere, so buyer beware. I bought 4 legs for my bench seats that fold down from a third party RV parts supplier. They were the exact same as the Lippert ones and all 4 cost what one did from Lippert. There are way too many 3rd party providers out there that provide parts and accessories of better quality and lower prices. I advise you to shop around. Stay safe!

Thanks for pointing out another company taking advantage of their loyal customers. What Lippert is doing price-wise is atrocious. I'll avoid any product made or sold by them.

I've gotten the impression over time that cost savings takes priority over quality on many products from Lippert and their owned sub companies. Too bad.

I had only dealt with Lippert on an accessory 1 time. The GD trailer I bought in 2021 was prepped for Tire Linc. As you know at that time this was kinda new. I tried to purchase the parts to complete it (the repeater and tire monitoring caps). I was told they only come in the complete kit which includes the dock already installed in my trailer. I said no, I already have the dock reinstalled my GD so I’d like just the parts I need. Why do I have to pay for another dock? I got nowhere, zero help and was left having to purchase the entire kit. Ridiculous.
