drkenrich - 30 Jun 2006 07:51 GMT 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 ...

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

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.

CoachPotato - 02 Jul 2006 16:29 GMT 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!

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.

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:

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.

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 haven't seen it in person and > the guy seems waaaay overpriced. 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).

You might have written "unlike ABC, CBS, NBC, > CNN, MSNBC" and I would have understood very well. 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!

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.

CoachPotato - 05 Jul 2006 19:44 GMT 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!

Fortunately, they are no longer very dangerous - as they fade into irrelevance.
