This may not be for everyone, but if you live in the western US you
might consider this.

The Rexhall manufacturer is in the Lancaster area above Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, almost all of the dealers have stopped doing business
with them for various reasons and one dealer informed me that the
company was having to face legal challanges from dealers.

One dealer in Upland, CA has made a bold move. He has several new
models and will negotiate heavily on their sale. In addition, he will
honor an additional $500 off the final negoatiated price. What this
means is that you don't tell him you have the $500 discount certificate
at the beginning. You come in as a hard nosed negotiator, make your
best deal, have him throw in something extra until you've gotten the
best deal you can. When you have him lamenting his losses, then you
whip out the $500 discount certificate and he will honor it by reducing
the price another $500. Not bad!

This, or any other dealer knows what his bottom line is on a product
and what he has to sell it for to make all the overhead payments. If
you think you are going to get a special $500 discount that the dealer
is not aware of until he is "lamenting his losses", I have some ocean
front property to seel you about 8 miles west of Yuma, AZ.

Folks, so you have an idea of where this guy is going, the following
are taken from recent post:
$250 off inflatable boat
$200 off Kayaks
and the kicker:
Fibromyalgia cure?
I have taught thousands of doctors, therapists and patients a
specialized
therapy called Trigger Point Therapy. I'm now retired ...

Need I tell more!!

For most of us you didn't need to tell that much -- the odor was very
distinct.  But thanx for emphasizing the obvious!

Must be those idiotic fish that they (at least used to) use to dot the
"I" in various model names.

Since I owned a Rexhall product (Airex) for seven years and thought very
highly of it, I'd be interested in knowing something factual about the
source of grief between the manufacturer and the dealers.

Since the OP failed to mention the fact that this $500 certificate is not
free, it just might lead some one to believe he could be affiliated with
this "bold dealer in Upland".

Something also tells me he just might have trouble providing any factual
information about any problems between dealers and the manufacturer :-q

A year or two ago Rexhall went to Factory Direct Sales only with no or very
few select dealers.  I don't know what they have changed in that time, but
we are full time in a Rexhall Aerbus and have been quite happy, having fewer
repairs than many we have known owning "upscale manufacturer rigs".  Like
you guys said this guy pops out of nowhere with this, bet he is the dealer
trying to sell some stock he has or has had for a while.

Rexhall came out with its "Double and Wide" model about three years
ago. Its has huge slideouts on each side and lots of interior room. It
seemed like a grand idea and I think he sells them Ok. It seems that
Bill Rex's real problems showed themselves about that time.

My guess, and I've tried to dig into this with little success, is that
the dealer's balked at the new unit so he chose to sell it direct.
There's nothing like selling direct to anger your dealers, and he's
selling everything direct now. I don't know if he has any active
dealers left, but he lists several on his website. When you link to
those dealers, you see very few that carry any Rexhall inventory.

I visited the factory in Lancaster, CA two years ago. I was concerned
about his huge inventory of chassis and the few employees actually
building coaches.

He was delisted by Nasdaq about a year or so ago, so the forum that was
once available on Yahoo! is no more. I used to keep up with gossip
there.

Delisted, he no longer has to make public anything about his business.
His stock is, and has been for a long time, a penny stock, about 40
cents a share or so.

His reputation is that he's been to the brink so many times that he
really doesn't mind. I think he lives on the brink nowadays, but I
can't prove it. He is a very talented and creative guy that began as a
worker in some other brand's factory. He hooked up with a partner to
get started and off the ground, then bought out the partner's interest.

I own a 2001 Rexhall Vision. It is one of his entry level models, but
is much more nicely finished and designed than most any Fleetwood gas
model I looked at. I've put on 40K miles in three years with no
problems to speak of. I'm a very happy Rexhall owner as are most owners
that I have talked to.

Lately his website is without any photos of his inventory, and at one
time he had many photos. I don't know if that means anything.

Thanks for that most interesting description of the current situation.
I appreciate that your discussion seems dispassionate and even-handed
(unlike, say, Fox "News").

I have always liked the Rexhall product, in spite of those damned fish
over the "i"s.  I would have upgraded within that family if I had found
a suitable diesel pusher, but alas, none was to be found.

In the seven years we owned our Airex, we were across the country twice
and throughout the Southwest many times, and put a total of about 50K
miles on it with few problems.  Even as I sold it I had some fear that
its Holiday Rambler replacement would not be so reliable.  Time will tell.

Thanks again for your response.

Ken Harrison
CoachPotato - 03 Jul 2006 18:56 GMT
Glad you liked it.

But dispassionate and even handed *as in* Fox News would have been a
fine comparison for me. You might have written "unlike ABC, CBS, NBC,
CNN, MSNBC" and I would have understood very well.

The use of the fish is simply his choice to claim the Christian faith,
I guess. I have a couple of his fish on my motorhome, too, and kinda
like having them there. In this degenerate culture of ours, his choice
of a fish over what we see on T-shirts, TV, advertising and bumper
stickers every day is, to me, downright refreshing!

We've got 42,000 miles on our Rexhall and I hope for many more. Two
friends of ours have bought new motorhomes in the past couple of years.
They've both been in the shop for problems with the slides. One went in
three times to get it right, the other is still there and has been
since April. The low quality of most RVs is getting scary. And the
after sale service seems even worse. I doubt that I'd ever buy a brand
new one!

In my experience, it's also a reason to hold onto my wallet.

Some of the worst experiences in my business career occurred in dealings
with people who had fish symbols on their letterheads and business
cards. (Sorta like the Pharisees who made a big deal about praying in
public.)

I've learned to be suspicious of people who mix religious symbols with
their business advertising. It's a red flag to me.

CoachPotato - 03 Jul 2006 20:26 GMT
Well, so goes the world. What people do in the name of Christ or under
a Christian symbol does not change his teachings a whit.

I don't judge folks so much by what they say or proclaim with symbols.
And I agree, some do bad things even with Christian symbols. Life goes
on.

By the way, Ken, too bad you couldn't have seen this RoseAir that's for
sale in Modesto, CA, not far from me. I haven't seen it in person and
the guy seems waaaay overpriced.

But I think the RoseAir diesels of a couple years ago or so are still
the most beautiful Class A coaches on the road. Well, except the
million dollar bus conversions, I suppose. But take a look at this
overpriced beauty:

I agree with Dale, we have a Diesel 40 ft. Aerbus and chose it specifically
because the floor plan was far ahead of anything else offered for us.  They
were one of the first that set up a TV you could watch without severe nech
pain or having to look up toward the ceiling  for extended periods.  We also
love the fireplace.

Dave W.
CoachPotato - 04 Jul 2006 23:34 GMT
You're right, Dave. Even my humble Vision 315 has the TV where it
belongs: across from the couch, behind the co-driver's seat and very
easy to view.

I can't believe the big, expensive diesels that still have 'em up above
the windshield where you need a neck brace after a few minutes of
watching from the couch or easy chair.

It seems like such a basic design flaw, but they keep building 'em that
way...

I agree about the overpricing, but I do believe that the Rexhall coach
might have been the best thing going.  I was so happy with my Airex that
if I could have found something by Rexhall when we were looking, I would
have traveled many miles out to have checked it.  (That last part is in
memory of Winston Churchill, and if you don't get it, it is not worth
explaining).

Sorry, CP, but there is a reason that Shrub and his Dick watch only Fox
"News."  The point of reporting is to present as many facts as possible
without the ornamentation that generally accompanies the "reporting" on
the Rupert Murdock (sp?) (he's Australian, I believe) channel.  Shrub
and his Dick watch Fox specifically because it does *not* look at all
sides of an issue.  Often, the way in which a question is asked will
determine the answer that is given.  And if one trusts ANY network news,
he is in intellectual danger.

The best way to gain news (on television) is to watch the secondary
channels, such as Al Jazeera (sp?), Deutsche Welle, news from Iran and
other Arabic states, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, and
others that do not have a personal interest in the politics of this sick
country.

The closest we can come to unbiased reporting is NPR and PBS, and even
that is getting to be a stretch.;

Ken
CoachPotato - 05 Jul 2006 14:25 GMT
Excellent choice of news you have there, Ken! al Jazeera, as we all
know, is a fine example of the free press of the Arab world, a world
known for freedom and democracy! Right!

And certainly the BBC as never known to be biased towards the USA!

We all know that NPR and PBS, beholding to the US Government for their
funding, certainly could not have a bias. Never!

Your quote about "Shrub and his dick" (Classy. Very classy choice of
words.) is a very good indicator of your hate towards those you don't
agree with and tells more about your world view than you'd probably
care for us to know. And that's a nice quote about "our sick country"
that also is a fine indicator of your views.

You should continue to get your daily fix of hate and bias from the
sources you choose. I'm sure they re-enforce your pathetic view of the
world.

I'll continue to watch Fox News, thanks.

And I'm done trading barbs with you, Ken. You're just too full of hate!

Hey, Dale I have not been in this, please don't include me with this group
of handicapped individuals.  Don't let them bother you, when I hear
challenged individuals like Dale and Ken I just smile at them and walk away.
No sense getting into a battle of wits with an unarmed man.  Though
listening to them is entertaining you will gain nothing wasting your breath
debating logic and intellect with them.

You are so right, Dave, and thank you for the good advice. But when
confronted with the razor wit on those who use such terms as "Daleypoo"
and "this sick country", one is tempted to turn on the grinder.

Really, I know better than to be entangled with such as these, but now
and then I forget. Dang it!

No kidding.  The Hate America First<tm> crowd is certainly entertaining.  
Fortunately, they are no longer very dangerous - as they fade into irrelevance.

I can barely wait for November.
