The Recreational Vehicle, or RV has been a staple of the American road trip since before the US ever had highways. From the humble origins in covered wagons to the present day high tech behemoths that can cost up to six-figures, join Nolan as we explore America's obsession with glamping.

Correction: During economic downturn, the RV industry does not thrive. As someone who lives within the US RV capital (Elkhart County Indiana), most people who work within that industry are laid off (post housing crisis, Elkhart County had the highest unemployment). With that said, when times are good (such as now), you will make stupid money. For people working the assembly line and are on rate, you can make between $40-$65 an hour.
Creators of breaking bad watching this rn

4:40 Much appreciated Nolan, it did kill!
I am definitely planning to get an RV in the next few years and taking my family across the country, following the NASCAR Cup series from track to track each week. It should be freaking awesome.
Sounds like they came keel the native then call it camping i have family still today that talk about it they took down tress to and home good video birds
I would either want one of those overland F350 baser RVs or one of the off-road trailers you can pull behind a Jeep.
The coin shortage doesn't mean to turn your shirt inside out and wear it twice
The Triton was discontinued. Replaced by new Ford 7.3.
Maybe you can sponsor my build since I live in the RV capital 😎😅
I wanna rice out an rv
Is it me or is Nolan getting better at his content? Like he's sounding like he loves what he does more. Or like has more passion in his life.
Jesse, you burned the RV with the wrong ingredient
My family had a Fleetwood Bounder for a while.
i'm that one person that snickered at the Watchmen joke!
I am drooling for DIY conversion on “stealth” motorhomes on Transit, Sprinters and Pro master panel vans.
when r we gonna get electric rv's? big torque, good "gas mileage" especially with all the roof space on the top for solar panels and u have alot of space underneath the rv for batteries. sounds perfect
Nice video dudes
Rorschach joke? lol
do a video on bob lazars jet engine
10:01 MAX's RV from Ben 10
a RV add popped out on this video, i will even take a screenshot I think that the youtube add algorithm is toying with me
Had a buddy that used his "toy hauler" camper (the one with a ramp for motorcycle or atv) and had a smart car in there
we have alot of people living in them around here
Got an old 508 Mercedes-Benz RV that was in use this summer & currently in the middle of turning a g10 chevy van into a "weekend camper" (if I remember the term correctly)
imagine thinking 5th wheel=gooseneck smh
They offer comfort, f r e e d o m, and a way to get out of town
9:38 "Washer and dryer in your place" As a bachelor that does laundry in my place with no dryer ... Nolan hangs his shirts folded in 1/2 on an line with clothes pins that cause those puckers in his shirt. Nolan! Hang your shits on the line by the shoulders or from the bottom seam. People notice the puckers.
The built in ad is full of BS, who feeds you guys this shit? SurfShark is a VPN it is a secure tunnel end to end. Anyone that wants to hack you by gaining access to your WiFi can still hack you. SurfShark does nothing if there is a hacker in your apartment building or in a hotel you visit. So many times I have been in a hotel and see other devices on the network that are open doors. I don't use Windows, I use Linux and that opens doors.
I watched this in my rv😂😂
Winnebago!!!
You can't go to southern Europe without seeing Dutch people and their travel trailers
Ads within ads, come on guys, is this our price for your success?
Kimberley and UltimateCampers make some decent off-road folder out campers. I like the UltimateCampers Xplor Series the most I think.
Gas guzzling BS. Don't be a si$$y, put up a tent.
Triton V10 for the win!!!!!
As somebody who drives a tractor trailer for a living, (going on 31 years) I can honestly say it's a bad idea for any Joe schmo to be able to drive a 60 ft RV. They can weigh up to 80,000 lb fully loaded which is what your average tractor trailer weighs, we have to have a special license CDL class A, bus drivers and straight truck which don't wait as much have to have a class B and training, yet any dickwad with cash and good credit can buy one. You're talking about a 8 and 1/2 ft wide 60 ft long 80,000 lb vehicle that you don't need a specialized license in order to drive, how dangerous is that? To me that ranks right up there with Penske and Ryder trucks that anybody can rent as long as it's not rated for more than 26,000 lb.
can you guys do a build on a banger ass donut media rv?
I really want one of those GMC motorhomes and swap in a duramax
😱😱I can’t believe the Ford Triton motor is the gold standard. 🤯🤯Their 460 that came before the V10 Triton powered all kinds of RV’s too! 🇺🇸
"Is there anything RVs cant do?" Me: uhhh swim? oh nevermind
“Uhhhh... fly? Oh, never mind” - *100 years in the future*
What happened to bart and science garage
"Is there anything RV's can't do?" -> Be cool?
have you seen the new Hyundai RV, looks good but hell its just as expensive as any other RV in the U.S. I believe the valued it around 45k for the base models.
Those prevost TVs are nice
Is that not the old How To Drink music? Also: DAM BOI HE THICC!
Does anyone know what glasses nolan has they lit im tryna cop a pair
Is there anything rv’s cant do? Be a smart purchase
i blame breaking bad
I got a travel trailer and it's long and thicc
Would it make sense to own an RV if you're a police officer?
We live in a 1996 Sahara Safari, but when we win Powerball we are going to buy a shiny new American Eagle.
60's RV
I put all my camping stuff in a 2 door Jeep 🤷♂️
0:55 jeremiah's maniacal laugh 🤣🤣🤣
5th wheel trailers use a 5th wheel hitch, same as semi trucks use, but a bit smaller scale. Goooseneck hitches are for equipment and stock trailers mostly
Im an rv technician. Have been for years. They are all poorly made. Some more then others. They do not age like cars/trucks. They are basically mold factory’s by 7yrs unless garage kept.
Day #9 asking James to do an "Up to Speed" on the Volkswagen Corrado
I live in a Kenworth t660 studio...I also work here...I’m trapped! But it is a great living...I’ll eventually upgrade to a class A motor home someday.
I have never heard anybody call an RV a Winnebago when it wasn't a Winnebago.
Fuel injucion sucks made a winepego with a ls in it
No ads!? Really!? Awwwww 😊😊
Nolan did you hang dry your shirt on a pointy rectangle?
Be kind. I love you.
Im about to purchase a 1997 Volkswagen Rialta fo $3,000 It has 87,000 miles on it.
Motorhomes are all fun and games till you need them repaired. Working on them not so fun. #dieseltech
10:06 Ben 10 RV
Why are Americans so in love with their rv? While pelosi's fridge is filled with $25G of ice cream and worried about the usps not being able to help the democrats steal an election, she has not lifted ONE FINGER to help the American people in this so called pandemic, thusly those people are LOSING their homes and having to LIVE in their rv's...rv: its no longer a way of life, its now a way to sustain life
Cool
"triton is the go to for most manufactuers" no fucking wonder RV'S are always broken
Don't forget smaller RV now. Nissan NV200 is very famous in UK small and can fit 2-4 ppl. My fav RV that is on my wish list is the Mercedes Marcopolo Wesfalia Jules Verne. Hoping USA will get something similar.
aint it a little crazy the people who got to live their lives in an open free country grew up to shove every fucking rule down our throat
The ford triton is used widely? Yeesh, I wouldn't buy one of those limp dogs. Not saying ford is bad, but that engine is bad
How can this video exist without one reference to the Winnebago Man!? FFS! irworld.info/show/fy-lm-h-y/r4iHi7iDq5SIx7I.html
You should do a passed gas podcast on group B
Been full timing for a year now, dont think I'll ever go back.
Hmm maybe the RV like the ones in Ben 10 or 'Journey' car in GTA SA would be my pick...
Gotta say gents, I love the videos obviously. Turned me into a car guy. But they way you deal with advertising is beautiful.
Rv Park owner here and this video is on point.. We have seen so many newbies trying to escape the covid lockdowns this season its been crazy. We have been full steam ahead since june and we are starting to see additional business later in the season since alot of kids can distance learn.
Can anyone explain why RV’s have the most hideous designed graphics?
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Mr. Hoonicorn himself just get a new Travel Trailer last year? (Grand Design RV) Roadtrip to Elkhart, IN?
One day....
I wouldn't take a diesel pusher class A if you tried to give it to me! They are *stupid* expensive when they need repairs, and they ALL do. And they look pretty but they're all just full of plywood with a nice cover. They are not put together nearly as well as you might assume.
I'm an American i like gun$ and RV'$
A house is the new mansion, an apartment is the new house, a mobile home is the new apartment, a homeless tent city is the new trailer park, this is America in 2020
no, they require a fifth wheel hitch, thus the name fifth wheel. a gooseneck is a totally different hookup...
Disappointed Conversion busses weren't mentioned. I live in a straight piped 77' Ford B600 30' school bus and it's awesome because it combines the cool looks of old trucks with RV's.
I got a mid roll during the ad read at the beginning
My wife and i have gone down the van life abyss in youtube. So I'm going to formally request an episode of up to speed on mercedes sprinters
My favorite TV are you would to take a greyhound bus and convert it into an RV
i wanna have an RV with a RB26 engine swap!!!
I don't think it's because they love them, it's probably more so that people lost their homes or can't find affordable housing.
I'm looking at the Thor Axis 24.1.. Its a hybrid class a/b but small enough to fit in a lot of smaller campsites.
Me and my girlfriend bought and moved into a used 80's 30' RV this spring. We're situated at a RV park in the country just outside of town. My view out the front door is a massive soybean/cornfield. Oh, and we have electricity, water, and sewage hookups. Honestly I love it. It's so much better than the two bedroom apartment I was renting. We now have the freedom to travel anywhere and take our home with us. There are no bills (besides the measly $400 rent for the RV park, which includes utilities).
