Transcript

Joe Russo Welcome again to a different episode of RVing with Joe and Kait. Right now we’re gonna be speaking about RV reveals. Sure, they are often overwhelming, massive, and scary. Effectively, not likely scary, however what I’m saying.

Kait Russo And a variety of enjoyable, let’s not overlook the enjoyable.

Joe Russo So I assumed one of the best ways to begin off this podcast is telling you a narrative about our first RV present expertise.

Kait Russo Now my reminiscence’s not that nice, however I consider our very first RV present was in 2014.

Joe Russo Right.

Kait Russo We had been shopping for an RV and had by no means been to a present earlier than and simply determined to go and see as many RVs as we may.

Joe Russo Now to present you some background data. We had determined at this level that we wished a RV that we were going to live in full time for one year. We had some sure necessities. I feel on the time we had been just about bought on a Class A motorhome.

We had been to some sellers earlier than. So we had checked out some Class As, however we thought the most effective factor to do could be to go to the Pomona RV show. This was out in California. Sadly, they don’t do that present anymore. And the concept was for us to undergo the present, take a look at the completely different Class As, and form of choose the one.

We figured that by the top of this RV present, we’d know precisely which RV we wished. And I’ll say proper up entrance that we walked out of that present extra confused and doubtless took 10 steps backwards from the place we had been. Would you agree?

Kait Russo Sure. I keep in mind that present being very overwhelming. And on the time we had no reference with reference to RV reveals. And little did we all know we had been strolling into one of many largest RV reveals accessible within the nation. I imply, they took over a whole fairground and all the large RV sellers within the space introduced their new mannequin 12 months RVs and put them on show. And I noticed RVs that I hadn’t even thought of that had been abruptly on my checklist. And as you prefer to joke, I generally tend of strolling into the actually costly RVs.

Joe Russo Effectively, Kait does this with something, however significantly with RVs, I bear in mind strolling into the present and Kait walks into the Winnebago Grand Tour. Which, I feel the one we had been was 42 toes, like a luxurious Class A motorhome, and if I bear in mind accurately, again in 2014, it was like half 1,000,000 {dollars}. And Kait’s eyes simply lit up.

I imply, there have been couches in there. There was this attractive like tile flooring. That they had ceiling followers. It had a toilet and a half. Large king mattress. Like all the luxurious you might think about. And Kait had this smile on her face. And he or she was like, sure, we discovered the one. However there was no approach we may afford a half 1,000,000 greenback motorhome. After which, like, it was, the whole lot after that was form of downhill, proper?

Kait Russo I don’t know if it was downhill, however I had no thought there was such a variety when it got here to RVs when it comes to, like, how primary you may be and the way luxurious you possibly can go. And it simply opened my eyes to one thing that I wasn’t contemplating and for good motive as a result of that was not in our finances.

The problem of getting walked into an RV like that after which different choices we had been contemplating is now abruptly I used to be evaluating all the opposite RVs to this RV and form of the flamboyant lighting and devices and the little like computerized shut drawers and issues like that.

Joe Russo After which compared, you stroll into a way more primary motorhome and abruptly the wall materials could be very completely different. You don’t get the very nice tile, you don’t get the great like strong counter tops, the bathtub and a half, , king mattress, these types of issues.

However that was just one facet. The opposite factor is, as we’re strolling via this RV present, when you’ve by no means been to an RV present, simply think about an enormous, like primarily, a car parking zone the dimensions of 1 that you’d discover at a soccer, baseball stadium, however larger, simply fully stuffed with RVs. And as you’re strolling via, you start to see RVs that, as Kait talked about, chances are you’ll by no means have even thought of.

Class Cs, we noticed vans, we noticed trailers, and our curiosity acquired the most effective of us. So we began strolling into all these completely different RVs and we had been all these various things and we had like form of talked and recreation deliberate earlier than we went in there and that was we had been gonna go in like we had a notepad, we had been gonna write down like which RVs we wished after which by the top of the present hopefully we would cut it down to love three after which we’d exit and purchase that RV.

What ended up taking place was by the point we walked out of that present we had been so fully overwhelmed by the whole lot we noticed, we forgot half of what was there. We didn’t bear in mind strolling into sure RVs or the whole lot began to form of mix collectively. I imply, even RVs, we’d by no means contemplate.

I bear in mind particularly there was a Sportsmobile there, their Traditional, which was like this actually cool Ford van with big wheels, 4 wheel drive, and it appeared like one thing out of an motion film. And I used to be like, sure, that’s superior. We might by no means purchase it however I spent all my time it and it’s not even one thing we’re contemplating.

Kait Russo Yeah, we didn’t give ourselves sufficient time to take all of it in. Trying again, we should always have gone on a form of overview walkthrough of the RV present simply to familiarize ourselves with the panorama after which gone again the following day with form of a recreation plan and specializing in what we actually wished to perform and see on the present.

Joe Russo Sure, we should always have deliberate a number of days, we should always have appeared up RVs that had been going to be on the present, or at corporations that had been gonna be there, and form of select sure fashions that we wished to go see and actually concentrate on, and attempt to restrict the variety of RVs that we noticed on a given day, as a result of once more, issues actually began to mix collectively.

I imply, there’s solely so many RVs you possibly can stroll in after a time and keep in mind that like this one needed to self-closing drawers this one didn’t. I like the bathroom on that one I didn’t like the toilet in that. And after a when you’re like, I can’t bear in mind.

Kait Russo That particular RV present was very massive and we simply went to a smaller RV present in Kentucky that was a fraction of the dimensions. That felt so much much less overwhelming as a result of they didn’t have as many models there. I really feel like that smaller RV present a day would have been good. We might have had sufficient time to do a number of loops and take a lunch break, return within the afternoon and sort out these tasks or targets that you just need to accomplish on the RV present.

While you go to an enormous RV present just like the one we went to or the Tampa SuperShow or the Hershey Present, you’ve acquired to have a recreation plan and provides your self not less than two days.

Joe Russo So let’s speak a bit about what an RV present is. I feel it’s apparent that it’s there to point out off all of the completely different producers RVs, however I had some misconceptions and we’ve been to so many RV reveals now that I feel we may give you a extremely good overview of what to anticipate.

So first off, an RV present is basically a group of RV sellers in that space. So what’s taking place is all of these RV sellers are bringing of their stock, placing them on show on the present, and the whole lot is on the market. Effectively, virtually the whole lot.

Now there will probably be producer’s reps that present up, like from Winnebago, Thor, all these completely different manufacturers. They’ll be there at a number of the shows, however they usually do not need their very own show there. They is likely to be a part of one other supplier or one thing like that, or they’ll simply be roaming round.

While you stroll via, all of the RVs you’re seeing are from completely different sellers. They’re all on the market. You may stroll in all of them. And if you wish to stroll out, speak to one of many gross sales individuals and purchase it proper there on the spot.

Kait Russo There are RV producers although, who don’t promote via sellers. They’ll promote to prospects direct and after they attend an RV present, then you definitely’re dealing instantly with the producer and you should buy from them and their gross sales workforce versus via an RV supplier.

Joe Russo And there are occasions the place you’re going to get sellers like that and they’ll convey out examples of issues that they make that will not essentially be on the market, however you possibly can customized organize them.

For instance, Sportsmobile. Most of their enterprise is customized. It’s a must to name and place an order with them. Once we’ve gone to the RV reveals, we’ve seen that they’ve vans on the market on the present, however usually they’re there to point out you what they’re able to doing after which promote you primarily a customized van that you just create with them.

Kait Russo And a few RV producers have customized colours or schemes or completely different layouts. So simply because the RVs which can be on show don’t fairly suit your wants, when you can see on the producer’s web site that they’ve completely different layouts, you possibly can at all times customized order what you need.

Joe Russo Or discover it at one other supplier. The opposite factor they’ve at RV reveals are accessories and different components for RVs. So that you’ll discover completely different distributors usually in halls or in like they’ll arrange tents and you may stroll via there and they’ll have all types of stuff from like RV tank remedy to completely different equipment for slides, lubricants, something you possibly can think about for an RV, you possibly can in all probability get in an RV present, together with like beef jerky, campgrounds, all types of different stuff.

Kait Russo I’ll say that these kinds of non-RV associated cubicles are extra common and extra prevalent on the larger RV reveals. Once we’ve gone to the smaller, extra regional RV reveals, that tends to be a really small section of the present. It’s primarily, the main focus is on the RVs and shifting these models.

Joe Russo Yeah, and you will see that that while you go into an RV present, a lot of the RVs, if not all of them, could have a present value on the RV, which can seem like an enormous low cost off the MSRP. Now the rule of thumb with RVs is, usually, it is best to count on to get about 20 to 30 % off the MSRP value.

So don’t suppose that the present value is barely gonna be on the present and also you’ll by no means be capable of get the RV at that value once more, as a result of you possibly can at all times go to a supplier and negotiate with them and normally get the identical value, if not higher than the present value. And at RV reveals, you possibly can negotiate when you’re trying to purchase a unit.

Kait Russo And virtually all RV sellers across the nation checklist their models on the market on web sites like RV Dealer that anybody with web entry can search for. So when you end up at an RV present and also you see a selected unit you actually like and also you’re not fairly positive concerning the value on the present, you possibly can at all times search for that very same unit on-line, see what different sellers across the nation are promoting it for and use that in your negotiations.

Joe Russo Yeah, good instance of that was we had been at a smaller RV present an RV. I feel we had truly take a look at pushed it and we actually appreciated it. And I appeared on the value, I went on-line and checked and located that that very same supplier had the worth listed on their web site lower than what they’d it listed for on the present and the salesperson on the present is attempting to inform me that is the bottom value they’ll ever supply this RV at and the whole lot else and I pulled up my cellphone and I mentioned, properly, the RV on the dealership is being bought for lower than what you’re attempting to promote for me now.

Actually do your due diligence and guarantee that when you do plan to purchase one thing, you’re researching and the place that value must be.

One other factor we discovered is as you’re strolling round and also you’re purchasing for RVs, you’re going to get any variety of salespeople developing eager to get your enterprise. There are a variety of RV salespeople who solely go to RV reveals. So that they’re not essentially affiliated with that dealership. What the dealership will do is to get additional palms. There are these primarily freelancers who they rent to return to the present and promote RVs for them. So when you’re working with somebody at a present, they could not essentially work on the dealership that’s native to the world.

In case you discover a salesperson that you just’re working with that you just actually like, hold working with that individual. In case you have somebody, you’re not getting vibe from them, you simply don’t just like the interactions you’re having with them, say, what, sorry, I don’t suppose we are able to do enterprise in the present day, stroll away, discover another person, as a result of there are lots of people there, some you’re gonna vibe with, some you received’t.

Kait Russo And a few of these salespeople don’t know the RVs very properly. So it’s as much as us as prospects and shoppers to essentially know the specs of the RVs that we’re and understanding the tank capability, the battery capability. Does it have an inverter? How massive is it? What’s the precise towing capability? Not what the salesperson is saying. As a result of sadly we’ve met individuals who’ve been bought RVs that don’t have the best towing capability and now they’re discovering themselves having to purchase a distinct car as a result of the one they thought they may tow with or could possibly be towed can’t.

Joe Russo That could be a improbable level. We’ve met all types of salespeople and as soon as we actually acquired into the RV house and we had been critically contemplating shopping for one and I begin doing my analysis. I met only a few salespeople after I walked in who knew extra concerning the RV than I did. I’d performed my analysis, I knew what I wished, and a variety of occasions what they had been telling me was incorrect. And I don’t need to say they had been essentially mendacity to me, however I feel what they had been attempting to do is give you a solution quite than saying, I don’t know.

Use an RV present to essentially see what speaks to you. Use it as a time to go in a variety of these RVs, sit down in them, spend a while, use the sofa like go within the bathe and fake to take a bathe. See if it’s sufficiently big for you. Open the drawers. Type of actually play home in there to see if it suits you and your wants and what you’re searching for.

While you’re severe about and able to purchase, come again and have an excellent information of the RV that you just’re all for. Take a break, return, search for the stats, perceive what elements it has, what choices it has, are the choices you’re searching for on the mannequin on the present that you just wanna purchase. If not, take a break and you may at all times contact a supplier and get that customized ordered or see if they’ll get it on the lot for you.

Kait Russo I actually see RV reveals as a device in a part of the shopping for course of or purchasing course of as a result of whereas we are able to do all this analysis on-line of the specs and see the format, watch walk-through videos. Having the ability to stroll via several types of RVs provides me an appreciation for various high quality ranges. And it turns into very obvious after you undergo 10, 15 models of very related RVs by completely different producers and completely different value factors. They odor completely different, they really feel completely different, they appear completely different in individual.

Joe Russo Yeah, I imply, when you simply begin tapping on partitions, opening drawers, you’ll discover the place some drawers are merely stapled collectively, others are dovetailed. Pay actually shut consideration the place, let’s say a number of the wallpaper that they placed on is peeling off or trim is falling off, and also you go in different models and the whole lot is buttoned up and it seems to be good. These are all issues to essentially take a look at and contemplate.

And once more, use the RV present to see an entire bunch of manufacturers, meet completely different sellers, meet completely different salespeople, after which you possibly can at all times come again later and purchase the RV via the dealership and never essentially from the present.

Kait Russo As a result of when you concentrate on an enormous RV present just like the Tampa SuperShow and the tens of 1000’s of individuals which can be going via it and people individuals going via the RVs which can be on the market. My private desire is to not purchase a RV that’s been displayed at an RV present with that a lot visitors. Until it’s simply a tremendous deal, which I’ve not seen. I might a lot quite have one thing that got here from the producer to the dealership. It’s solely been proven a number of occasions and it hasn’t been trekked via.

Joe Russo Precisely. Now let’s speak about a few of these good offers as a result of we’ve been at these RV reveals working with sellers. So we’ve gone to do meet and greets and various things and we’ve gotten some, let’s say, behind the scenes details about how the gross sales course of and the whole lot works. And these dealerships are attempting to promote as many RVs at these reveals as they’ll. One, as a result of it prices them so much to go to those reveals. I imply, they must drive out each RV. They’ve to rent all these gross sales individuals to return out and it’s some huge cash for them out of pocket to go to those reveals.

So, when you’re actually searching for a deal and you discover the proper RV at a present, normally the primary couple days should not the most effective days to try to purchase it as a result of they know they nonetheless have a variety of present left to promote that RV. Now, if that RV remains to be sitting on the lot the final day or two, they’re gonna be rather more desperate to promote it to you then and rather more keen to make a greater deal on it. And yet another they’ll say they bought on the present.

Kait Russo So Joe and I’ve put collectively type of a RV present survival information on our web site that we’ve been regularly updating as a result of we’ve been to our fair proportion of RV reveals and actually eager to share these ideas with you all. So do you need to undergo a few of these issues?

Joe Russo Yeah, I say let’s speak about them on right here. And in case you have extra questions, you possibly can head over to our web site take a look at the put up, depart a remark, ask your query there, or go to the contact form on our website and ship us the query instantly.

Kait Russo What are some issues that folks ought to convey to an RV present?

Joe Russo First, it’s a must to see what the climate goes to be like, particularly if the present is outdoors. We simply got here again from the Louisville RV present and it was inside, so we didn’t have to fret concerning the inclement climate. However once we went to RV reveals out in California, Florida, particularly the Tampa present, the climate can change. It may be 90 levels or it may be pouring down rain. So it’s a must to be ready for that when you’re gonna be outdoors all day lengthy these RVs.

Deliver sunscreen, convey numerous water. Normally they’ve distributors there promoting meals and drinks and that type of factor, however be sure to have all of the issues that you just want.

And I might say on high of that, since you might be gonna be going into completely different RVs, convey a pocket book or some solution to take notes. In case you have your cellphone with you, which I’m assuming you’ll take photographs movies of ones you want and one factor that I discovered very useful is In case you have somebody with you and even your self make a video and speak concerning the title of the RV.

So what we’d do is we’d are available we’d take a photograph of the The gross sales sticker so we acquired the worth and we had all the knowledge on the mannequin the ground plan the whole lot else after which we’d both make a video or take photographs going via the RV of issues that we actually appreciated. And if we had been making a video, we’d speak about it in order that we may return, watch that video later, and bear in mind it.

Kait Russo I virtually wanna say that’s form of how we began doing walk-through videos on our YouTube channel. Yeah, that’s precisely what occurred. We had been purchasing for every kind of RVs, from our first one to subsequent ones we’ve owned now, and certainly one of our very first movies, I don’t suppose it’s up anymore, was of a Class A motorhome, a used one which we had been contemplating, and we mentioned to ourselves, particularly as a result of I’ve a restricted reminiscence, that permit’s simply make a video and we’ll be capable of bear in mind all of the options and specs.

Joe Russo Yeah, that’s precisely what occurred.

One other factor I prefer to convey if I’ve it’s a tape measure. Particularly when you’re entering into and also you’re customizing issues, you simply need a greater thought of the dimensions and the format.

One other factor I at all times have with me is a flashlight. Particularly if I’m used RVs. Now, I do know we’re speaking about RV reveals and all of the RVs at RV reveals are typically new. Sellers don’t convey out used models, however when you’re at a dealership or generally there are individuals in a car parking zone who’re promoting used RVs you at all times wanna have a flashlight with you.

The rationale for that is, for instance, we had been at a dealership a used Numar, and inside it appeared nice. It appeared just like the factor was model new, rather well taken care of, the paint outdoors was good, and the worth was simply too low on it for me to say, what’s fallacious with this? The value was form of citing purple flags.

So I climbed up on the roof, I used to be wanting on the roof, ensuring that every one the caulking, the whole lot appeared good. After which I begin opening the bays, and this was a diesel pusher, so it had these massive move via bays, so you might open a door from one aspect and go all the best way to the opposite.

Effectively, I climbed in there with my flashlight, and I began shining it round, and what I seen was the screws that they used to carry the carpet down within the bays had been rusted. And I pulled up the carpet within the nook and it appeared just like the RV had been in a flood and water had come as much as a sure level. You can see throughout the entire bay of the RV the place that water line was. And if I hadn’t had my flashlight, I by no means would have seen that.

So while you’re going via this stuff, you wanna test them and guarantee that, , even new RVs, guarantee that the whole lot seems to be good. If there are any issues, use your notepad, make notes of them as a result of when you purchase that RV you’re gonna need the supplier to rectify all these issues earlier than you are taking supply.

Kait Russo I feel having a recreation plan for the present. So what’s the objective of going to the RV present? And it could possibly be so simple as, hey, we’ve a free day this weekend and there’s an RV present, let’s go test it out and see what there may be. Or when you’re severe about shopping for an RV and also you wanna take a look at a number of the models you’re contemplating, then write these down and possibly make a grid of knowledge you need to acquire about every of these RVs so that you could form of keep on observe while you’re there and never get too distracted by different issues which can be occurring. For instance, just like the bourbon tasting that was occurring on the Louisville RV present or the little canine present recreation that was taking place proper subsequent to all of the RV shows.

Joe Russo Yeah, I’ve seen an inclination on the RV reveals for there to be a variety of alcohol distributors as a result of they get you good and lubed up and it’s so much simpler to make a sale. Personally, I don’t suppose I might ever purchase an RV from an RV present. One of many causes was that, as Kate talked about, that you’ve got all these individuals strolling via the RV that you just’re going to purchase.

And even after you purchase it, more often than not, other than placing a bought sticker within the window, the sellers will nonetheless depart the RV open for individuals to stroll via to allow them to see that mannequin and say, hey, when you like this, this one’s bought, however I can get you one other one.

The opposite factor is, when you go to the RV present and you actually like an RV, if it’s a motorized unit and also you wanna take a look at drive it, a variety of the occasions, you’re not gonna be capable of do this. Until they’ve, generally they’ve overflow lot with fashions that when they promote one, they’ll transfer it out and put the opposite one in. Typically they’ve these and you may exit and drive it. More often than not they don’t. On the supplier lot although, when you discover an RV you want, you’re prepared to purchase it, however you wanna drive it first, you possibly can completely do this on the RV dealership.

Kait Russo And make the most of the producer reps. In order that’s a query I prefer to ask is, is there a producer rep right here for this product? Particularly if it’s one I’m all for. And if the reply is sure, then you could have a possibility to attach with somebody who works on the producer and who has extra correct and properly hopefully extra correct and updated details about the product that you just’re all for versus simply speaking to a salesman.

Joe Russo Yeah, that’s a terrific level too as a result of a variety of producer reps that we’ve talked to is not going to solely inform you concerning the RV, however you’ll get a variety of historical past behind the mannequin generally and a variety of occasions they know the way that RV is manufactured to allow them to stroll you thru the RV and level out little particulars, issues they could do in another way than their competitor.

For instance, that’s how we came upon about some producers dovetail their cupboards or their drawers as a result of we had a producer rep stroll us via and present us the drawers. They’re actually pleased with these drawers and the best way they constructed them as a result of they wouldn’t come aside after a variety of years. And also you’ll begin to decide up a variety of data speaking to completely different reps and other people that you just don’t get from salespeople.

Kait Russo And when you occur to be attending an RV present that additionally has on-site tenting, just like the Florida Tremendous Present, the place they’ve big teams based mostly on producers generally, of shoppers tenting on-site, you possibly can go stroll round, meet the individuals who personal the camper that you just’re contemplating, and more often than not, they’re very happy to share as a lot data as you might be keen to hearken to.

Joe Russo Typically an excessive amount of.

Kait Russo About their camper, seemingly offer you a tour, the issues that they’ve beloved, the issues that they need they’d performed in another way or knew about, modifications they’ve made. So actually make the most of that facet of an RV present.

Joe Russo And going again to the analysis section, additionally analysis the completely different RV dealerships which can be going out and it is best to begin to analysis search for critiques see what different persons are saying about them as a result of not all RV dealerships are created equal. Some are higher than others some have higher customer support higher RV assist and the whole lot else.

That’s one thing to contemplate when you’re going to purchase from an RV present is Is that supplier native to you in case you have an issue? Are they gonna stand behind the product and get you in for guarantee repairs? Some sellers will truly put you in precedence when you purchase from them. And that being mentioned, let’s say you purchase from a supplier out of state that doesn’t have a location native to you. If it’s a must to go to an area RV dealership for guarantee work, they could put you on the finish of the queue as a result of they’ve all of their prospects who purchased from them who get precedence.

Kait Russo And we do hold an updated list of RV shows in the United States and Canada. So if you’re searching for an RV present to attend, you possibly can go to our web site and search for the RV present checklist and discover one close to you. Or possibly you resolve to take an extended weekend, fly out to Florida or Pennsylvania for one of many larger RV reveals.

Joe Russo Yeah, I might say in case you have the chance, the Tampa RV present, I might say, is the most effective within the nation that we’ve seen. There are performers, there’s meals, there’s all types of distributors. Just about the whole lot within the RV world is, virtually all of it’s at that present.

Now that being mentioned, if you’re searching for your first RV, I do supply one-on-one consulting. So when you need assistance attempting to determine, , what’s the proper RV for me, what issues ought to I contemplate, what haven’t I considered, these kinds of questions. I can get on the cellphone with you for an hour and form of stroll via the whole lot with you and actually make it easier to begin to slim down what’s the proper RV for you or reply every other questions you may need about RVing. In case you’re all for that, go to our web site, weretherussos.com and within the high menu you will note a button for teaching. Simply click on that, fill out the shape and I’ll get again to you.

Kait Russo I bear in mind going via the method of shopping for our first RV and having by no means RV’d earlier than, it was very overwhelming. I want I may have referred to as Joe now to get some suggestions and ideas.

Joe Russo I feel a variety of it, to me on the time, it was virtually scary as a result of an RV is an enormous funding. I used to be desirous about all of the issues I didn’t know or didn’t know to ask and looking out again on it, how naive I used to be about that complete course of and the way a lot we’ve realized within the subsequent years and simply speaking to producers, speaking to sellers, speaking to salespeople, having used all several types of RVs and all these issues and all that data that I’m capable of form of make it easier to in your technique of going via all of this. And that’s actually my aim.

Kait Russo And for individuals who simply need to do the analysis on their very own, we’ve supplied a variety of sources and sharing ideas and issues we’ve realized alongside the best way within the type of weblog posts, now podcast episodes, but in addition over on our YouTube channel, we’ve an entire purchasing sequence to form of assist individuals resolve what is likely to be the higher choice or simply issues to contemplate.

However when you don’t need to do all that analysis and you’ll similar to to have form of a consolidated name to have the ability to decide Joe’s mind about RVing, whether or not it’s purchasing, shopping for, utilizing.
