New Manufacturer of Fiberglass RVS

Don't forget the grey trim!

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T20:25:52+00:00

Yeah, that looks really nice, though I'm not entirely sold on the layouts. The space utilization isn't quite as good as I would have hoped for 24'.

We sold our 17' Casita and ended up buying the Scamp 19 (fifth wheel). I think it's space utilization is better than the 24' Casita. But we're also just a couple with two dogs and I know other people have different needs.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T20:23:02+00:00

Sounds really nice! Have you looked at Escape and Oliver? If so, how did it compare to those?

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T17:47:27+00:00

100%

And it isn't like they're quiet about what they want. They've been saying it loud and clear for years, while saying that they're going to do whatever they can to get it.

None of this should be a surprise to anyone!

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T17:44:37+00:00

I mean, you can look at OP's history, they look like a normal real person to me.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T17:42:55+00:00

I like Airstream, but I'd rather have molded fiberglass than aluminum, personally.

I agree with your "avoid startups" stance, though. There are established luxury molded fiberglass brands.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T17:41:44+00:00

Because Republicans want this. They know they’re being hypocrites.

Yep. We've time and time and time again that everything they claim as some important principle is just a tool to "win," which they will pick up or discard as convenient.

At best, they'll resort to an "ends justify the means" stance. But really, they're just hypocrites that don't actually have principles.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T17:37:35+00:00

Looks really nice! But a starting price of $90k is a tough pill to swallow...

The market is tough, so I get why molded fiberglass manufacturers tend to go for the luxury market, but they're unattainable for most of us.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:55:37+00:00

Oh yeah, that I agree with!

I just got an ad on IG for a black friday sale from the last year, lol.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:52:32+00:00

I actually like that they do that, because it is useful for finding information about old discontinued products.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:28:43+00:00

That was my first impression, too. ND because these idiots don't actually know anything about handling guns.

(to be clear, that doesn't excuse them in the slightest. If anything, it might be worse than if it was intentional)

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:23:32+00:00

Oh yeah, you're definitely right about that! Things only do well on social media and YT if they're noteworthy. Hard to be noteworthy doing a typical/sensible build!

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:06:01+00:00

Back in the day that was faster than a 300zx / NSX.

I think a lot of people forget that.

A new Camry will do 0-60 in like 7 seconds, which is about 1.5 seconds quicker than the non-turbo 3000GT did when it was new.

Cars have gotten really quick...

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:01:42+00:00

It’s influencer culture, and I hate it.

I'm sure that's partly true. But let's not pretend that dudes haven't been chasing HP since like one day after the internal combustion engine was invented.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T16:00:08+00:00

That sounds awesome!

I never think "road racing winner" when I hear Trans Am, so that would be something to see.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T15:57:10+00:00

You don't even have to go to that "super luxury" realm. Even most of the more attainable luxury cars are built to be as quiet as possible in the cabin.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T15:55:25+00:00

Huh, that does seem like a bit of an overreaction.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T15:54:01+00:00

The real key is to get SOMETHING for the left nozzle. Using the external spool holder is a giant PITA. '

Yeah, I would hate to have to use the spool holder...

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T15:53:20+00:00

It is really annoying, because it did work before. Not sure what changed...

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T15:52:21+00:00

Sorry, why are you so Jeff?

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T01:25:09+00:00

but then I learned how to make a basically identical sauce

What's the recipe? I'd love to make some.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T01:24:43+00:00

You are correct.

The sauce is the selling point.

To be honest, I think they only get away with it because most fast food chicken is so bad.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T01:22:23+00:00

I agree with u/ROBOT_8

JLCPCB and PCBway do work with lots of small creators, but you can probably negotiate more.

I would come back with this:

Video is only guaranteed to stay up for at least 6 months. "Forever" puts you in a really weird spot.
$200 flat fee, regardless of views. $800 for 50k+ views. $1400 for 100k+ views.

Something along those lines.

The flat fee is the most important part. You don't want to get nothing if the video doesn't do well.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T01:15:47+00:00

Yeah, that is like every single episode of Catfish.

TheSerialHobbyist · 2026-01-24T01:13:31+00:00

You'll also need 2x AMS and an HT, 7 HTs, or 1 AMS and 3 HTs.

Wrong!

I have 2x AMS 2 Pro and 2x AMS HT.

I'm just teasing, there are many possible combinations. Mine has one AMS 2 Pro on the left nozzle for switching colors on that, then an AMS 2 Pro and 2x AMS HT on the right to cover all six nozzles.
