🤚🏻 11 Reasons You SHOULDN'T Buy an RV! ✋🏻

So glad Bish's RV let you continue being honest. Much respect to you and the company you represent. Every dealer should show this video before every RV sale.

Talk to your SO before buying! A guy I know retired and promptly bought a tow vehicle and an RV. His wife was not pleased. She had no intention of spending their golden years cooking and cleaning; she wanted restaurants, housekeeping, and room service. The trailer got sold, they bought two motorcycles, and they're still happily married touring the country staying in hotels.

As always your the best. My wife and I was planning on full time RV’ing. I was researching, watching videos of full timers & your channel. But unfortunately life happened before we got to start, now I’m a widower. Before she passed away I told her it’s a good thing that we hadn’t bought a TT she agreed. Josh continue doing what you’re doing. People appreciate honesty unfortunately nowadays honestly it a rarity.

It’s weird that in the rv world the term “hand built” isn’t a good thing. Anywhere else you have something hand built it usually means it’s well made.

In 1978 we moved from Ill. to S.D. with a self converted Dodge Maxi Van and a tent. Family of 5. WE camped in the Black Hills a few years till we bought a used 21' TT. Sold it to buy a house. Sold house to move to Indiana in '87. We used Dad and Mom's class C and class A one time each till 2000 when we bought a used TT again Kids all gone by now. 2005 we bought a new 32' Montana 5th. Lost count of the number of miles we put on it the next 12 years going west to visit family and other short trips. Traded that one for out current 36' 5th in 2017. We have about 25K miles on it now and we are in out 4th year of snow birding in warmer areas. We are now in our mid and late 70's with no intentions of selling or trading it now. But age will catch up with us some year. Thanks for your video.

I'm fairly new to RV camping but I have found it to be super hard to get a spot at some campgrounds. What makes it easier is my trailer is very small so I can grab the spots the big guys can't fit in. When I was a kid everyone I knew had smaller trailers and they slept whole families in them and we're just fine. Now everyone has these huge monster trailers and I have to ask, why? My trailer is a tent on wheels. We only use it to sleep in. We do everything outside, even cooking and washing dishes. So that's my advice. Really think about just how big your trailer has to be. It's not a trophy. Buy it to use it, not as bragging rights. With these big trailers you also need a huge rig that is not good to use for anything else.

The motorcycle connection with buying accessories is 100% spot on. It is never the item itself... those darn accessories are a good way to make your wallet need grief counseling!

I’m now on my 5th trailer. The point you made about “hey what do you say we go camping this weekend?” Is pretty much a thing of the past. Now pretty much anywhere you have to have reservations. It kills the whole spontaneity of the adventure.

Josh you and Bish's RV are the best. You dare go somewhere others would not dare, this is the type of things that make someone OUTSTANDING in their field. GO RV NERD'S!

Really good info to share. Sometimes people fall in love with “idea” of rving, but don’t slow down enough to really consider what they’re signing up for! Great integrity for someone in rv sales to actually shine the light on the reality of owning an rv.

There is also the cost to license and insure these RV's, and the insurance doesn't necessarily cover everything. I so enjoy your video's, and really appreciate that you are so up front about everything.

You are correct about having a third party. I ended up buying a brand new RV and the roof had a leak. It caused damage. Thank goodness it was still under the warranty. They had to remove the whole roof keeping our RV for a whole month.

Extremely good advice. If I didn't have my husband I would never be able to keep up with all of the maintenance maintenance on our RV.

The wife and I are long-time campers with tents. We bought our Class C, shortly after I retired almost three years ago. We bought ours used, mainly due to the prohibitive cost of a new Class C. The comfort we now experience camping, offsets the costs of RV storage, maintenance, propane and gasoline to travel to our destinations. Tenting and being a senior are kinda' incompatible in our experience.

This sort of content is why i enjoy your channel so much. Put to the side the consistent, solid, relatively unbiased information you provide. You urge people to realistically purchase what they can handle not what they can afford.

WOW you hit the nail on the head !!! Great video , I hope all new RVers watch this video because you just spit out the truth !! Your section " neighbors " was outstanding because we just where camping 2 weeks ago and found the camper from hell next door . Playing there music till 1am with there outside speakers . Then at 7am forgetting they still had there outside speakers on full blast they turned on the news so everyone in the camp ground could hear it . Both the wife and I said lets leave 2 days early because the state camp ground wouldn't do anything about the noise .

Great video - even as a reminder for those of us who have been camping a long time. We got our first RV, a class C, in 2002. When the kids were young we use to leave it parked in the driveway fully stocked from Memoria Day to Labor Day. In additional to weekend and vacation camping use used it on trips to the lake or beach in NH. You had your fridge, a place to take a nap in the AC with an infant and a shower to get the sand/salt off before going out to dinner. The saying “Better by Buy Experiences than Things.” Well an RV “Thing” allows you to have all kinds of experiences you might not otherwise be able to afford due to time or money. Finally you mention potential rowdy neighbors. Have you flown lately, the behavior in airports and on planes can be worse than the worst late night drunk camper

Thanks, Nerd. That is very good advice. We've been dreaming of owning an RV for many years, but never got to it for various reasons. As we think more about it, it has become apparent that we are not going to get the most out of it. The biggest thing for us is storage as we live in a city. Besides the cost, we have to travel to the storage facility to take of things, including clearing snow off the roof after a big snow fall. On top of that, we'd have to own a gas-guzzling truck that we'd have no good use for when not towing. In fact, I foresee I'd avoid driving it at much as possible. With platforms like RVezy, there really is not a good use case to own an RV. Thanks again.

Excellent info. As a senior citizen and a widowed female RVing is something I’ve been longing to do. Gave me lots of food for thought. Thank you.

I love camping and tent camped for years. But having a small tow behind with shower, hard walls, and creature comforts, I knew I would need to buy one. Don't use it much, but my budget affords it, and now I can go anywhere with all the amenities I could ever need.
