[0:01]hey guys so I'm here in Chattanooga

[0:03]Tennessee looking at this RV that I'm

[0:06]interested

[0:07]in

[0:10]um I'm just going to try to share my

[0:13]thoughts with you because I'm processing

[0:15]them myself I mean here by myself and

[0:18]when I first looked at it I thought man

[0:20]this is kind of small it just something

[0:22]about it makes it feel smaller than the

[0:24]ones I've seen it is small but um I just

[0:27]think it's a layout but it's the also it

[0:30]just feels very open so I kind of think

[0:33]that I really like it I'm s of just

[0:34]sitting in here I'm

[0:36]like this is nice this is really nice

[0:40]so um I mean here's you

[0:43]know um sorry guys I should have turned

[0:48]my camera you know how I am I'll get

[0:49]used to it so here's the cabin

[0:53]area and then you know the door is here

[0:56]so there's not a lot of room I mean

[0:57]right there's your bed so

[1:01]but no oven like I

[1:03]said um the storage face ain't too bad I

[1:07]feel like it's not too

[1:09]bad um oh that's a small one but who

[1:12]knows you know put your nice things in

[1:15]there I

[1:18]amum just sitting in here at first I was

[1:21]like this is really

[1:23]small but I want it small right

[1:27]so

[1:28]um

[1:32]I think it works like I just think I

[1:34]think it probably works for

[1:36]me let's see what it's like to sit on

[1:38]this thing oh that's

[1:46]interesting

[1:50]huh I mean it's not

[1:53]terrible bit of a little type fit here

[1:56]but it's not

[1:58]terrible I like this this is so cool

[2:02]like oh my

[2:04]God so

[2:07]cool it's you know it's used it's like 6

[2:10]seven years

[2:11]old but that's what I want so I did

[2:16]learn that I forgot to mention in my

[2:19]last video it's Diesel and I wanted

[2:21]diesel I just feel like that's going to

[2:22]make my life a lot

[2:23]easier because I can get gas where the

[2:27]truckers do you know and I'm and

[2:30]something so it just it feels like that

[2:31]will be easier for me um until I get

[2:36]better at this but uh the guy told me

[2:40]you also get better gas mileage and

[2:42]another reason I wanted it is because I

[2:44]know that I'm going to

[2:46]be um you know up in the mountains in

[2:49]the West like the Rocky Mountains or

[2:51]Arizona whatever and I no well I guess I

[2:55]was wrong about this um I thought diesel

[2:58]was better for that because they they

[2:59]had different type of braking system I

[3:01]thought it was called an air braing

[3:03]system um he says it doesn't have that

[3:08]so this do go so easy all right it's

[3:12]ripped

[3:14]here I mean am I going to have to

[3:16]mention all these little things to them

[3:18]cuz they're just going to ignore them if

[3:20]I

[3:20]don't that sucks like I can't just like

[3:24]what am I going to I I mean I don't know

[3:26]I'll think about this cuz I would have

[3:29]to spend and he was I think he's being

[3:31]honest with me they're not going to make

[3:33]a big profit off of

[3:35]me um and I believed him when he said it

[3:39]I really did

[3:41]so

[3:43]um I can't really talk to them down

[3:45]anymore than where we were cuz I I I had

[3:49]some thoughts on my way here and now

[3:50]maybe I could

[3:53]but um I believe him what he's saying

[3:57]and so I mean it is what it

[4:02]is I mean this is just so cool I love

[4:06]this I want this life I want it so

[4:11]bad so I don't know

[4:15]I'm not trying to talk myself up or

[4:17]anything because this is really how I

[4:20]feel like I just it's use I wanted to

[4:24]use you know I can learn stuff that's

[4:27]interesting I don't even know what that

[4:28]does so much tell me what that

[4:31]does what is that thing why is there a

[4:35]water spout

[4:37]there oh do you put that in every time

[4:41]you use it I bet you

[4:44]do okay I got a lot to learn oh anyway

[4:48]so you can probably hear the generator I

[4:49]don't know if you can hear it's not very

[4:51]loud so that's nice but I didn't think

[4:53]it had like it it also uses the fuel for

[4:57]that generator which I guess makes sense

[4:59]I don't know why I thought

[5:02]differently

[5:03]um you know I just use it a diesel

[5:07]generator are those better somebody tell

[5:09]me if you know are diesel generators

[5:12]better or the

[5:14]same what does this do is this is that

[5:17]air conditioning or just a fan or I

[5:21]don't know I don't know anything about

[5:23]these things

[5:24]guys

[5:26]but I want to

[5:30]I want to I want this life I really want

[5:33]this

[5:35]life

[5:36]um it's

[5:38]small but it's also

[5:41][Music]

[5:42]feels it feels um I don't know spacious

[5:47]enough for me

[5:49]like I um I'm just one guy with two cats

[5:54]I can see my cats in here I'm hoping

[5:58]that when I'm driving driving my you

[6:01]know cat will be in the chair and one

[6:02]will be up in the dash like how fun

[6:05]would that

[6:07]be

[6:10]um I don't know if I showed you guys

[6:14]these so I'm not sure what these seats

[6:16]are

[6:18]for do that makes it turn this into a

[6:20]bed maybe I don't know I really just

[6:23]don't know anything it's amazing how

[6:25]much I don't

[6:26]know so not a lot of storage I'm

[6:29]definitely going to have some tight fits

[6:32]and because this thing is

[6:34]older I mean it's got issues like this

[6:37]isn't even

[6:39]closing can I get you to close

[6:42]I let's see

[6:47]here you are they going to fix that if I

[6:49]do I have to bring them all up I'll talk

[6:52]to the guy when I go and you know cuz

[6:56]like that ain't even closing um

[7:00]there were a couple panels that didn't

[7:02]even fit in here one was just laying

[7:04]there but you know these are things you

[7:06]can make just go to Home

[7:09]Depot but you knowless this is not a bad

[7:12]Pantry I think this would work for

[7:14]me

[7:16]so

[7:18]um like you know that's good enough for

[7:20]pots like

[7:24]pans like it's not it's not a big big

[7:28]space but it's big enough I think it's

[7:31]big

[7:33]enough I love

[7:37]this I

[7:39]do and I love that it's a diesel I think

[7:42]it probably has a very good engine in

[7:45]it so let's come in here and I haven't

[7:47]even been in here yet

[7:50]guys

[7:53]so okay well the slide's out so you're

[7:55]not going to be able to see what it

[7:57]looks like that one

[8:00]we over here really going to have to

[8:03]over here I'm really going to have to

[8:06]learn to use

[8:08]those um no cameras so that's one

[8:12]drawback for

[8:13]me but I have we'll be toying my Jeep

[8:16]and I have the dash cam I I'm going to

[8:19]try to work out some kind of solution

[8:20]with

[8:23]that um this feels nice and open you

[8:28]know so not a lot of

[8:31]miles so this is not like I looked at a

[8:34]bunch of these this particular brand um

[8:38]and model different years with brand in

[8:42]model and I'm getting them confused in

[8:44]my head there was one I saw and it was a

[8:46]private seller and he was selling it

[8:49]through he was selling it through a

[8:52]broker and I think that's a good option

[8:54]if I wanted to be patient more patient

[8:58]and I should be I am rushing a little

[9:00]bit here more than I should

[9:02]be um I don't know how much hard of the

[9:06]financing for that would be but I mean

[9:08]the guy I talked to he was super honest

[9:10]he told

[9:11]me um to actually get an independent

[9:15]inspector without me even bringing it up

[9:18]like just and they had like 180 pictures

[9:22]online of the and it was nice super

[9:25]nice uh and older older than this one

[9:28]I'm not sure why I don't this one just

[9:30]feels so basic I

[9:33]guess just feels basic is what it

[9:37]is

[9:40]um I don't think that's a reason to say

[9:43]no to it but I'm going to tell you what

[9:45]I'm going to

[9:48]do I drove four hours to get here I

[9:51]thought it was three but it's

[9:53]4 um time zone change and didn't

[9:57]realize uh I put down a deposit on it

[10:00]right so I think I'm just going to have

[10:02]them hold it and I'm going to think

[10:04]about it overnight I'm not going to

[10:06]decide

[10:07]today and then I'll come back

[10:12]tomorrow

[10:14]um it's got a nice little display

[10:18]here you know I want to think about it

[10:20]that's part that's another reason why

[10:22]I'm just going around with the camera I

[10:23]took a bunch of pictures and you know

[10:25]this video

[10:26]and I'll think about it overnight

[10:29]before I before I truly commit to

[10:34]this

[10:41]one you know some of the lights work off

[10:44]this this is interesting I don't know if

[10:46]you have to use this

[10:49]um to control them but this is only way

[10:53]I knew how to figured out how to turn

[10:55]them on

[10:57]so all right all

[10:59]right um I don't know what lower accent

[11:02]is I clicked that and nothing happened

[11:03]so I'm guessing it's on the

[11:05]outside you know I don't know what scare

[11:08]would do I'm guessing that's if you're

[11:10]something bad's going on and you want to

[11:13]get people's

[11:16]attention um let's see what time is it

[11:21]it's

[11:22]4:00 they close at

[11:24]5: I

[11:26]um not doing the financing today because

[11:29]I am not going to rush myself I want to

[11:34]be you know I want to do this right

[11:41]but

[11:45]my I mean I want it I just do I do want

[11:49]it I really like that other one but the

[11:52]private dealer but that one would be so

[11:54]I just I feel like it'd be so

[11:56]challenging and the way I look at this

[11:58]one is this is this is my

[12:00]starter um camper right it's like this

[12:03]is this is what I get started on this is

[12:06]what I learn

[12:08]from so but it's so expensive for being

[12:12]so used I I just I'm guessing it's got

[12:15]to be because it's diesel I mean he told

[12:19]me how much they will profit from this

[12:21]transaction I won't say it um because at

[12:24]some point I might tell you where I am

[12:26]stuff like that um

[12:29]it's not a lot I mean it's not

[12:32][Music]

[12:34]so if he's being honest and I he seemed

[12:37]honest he felt honest you know I do try

[12:40]to trust my that feeling about people

[12:42]he's a nice guy I liked

[12:44]him

[12:47]um so that's just what it cost now you

[12:51]know most of the depreciation has

[12:53]happened like the bad depring of like

[12:55]the you

[12:56]know um you know the first two years

[12:58]years and so now it'll keep depreciating

[13:00]of course everything does but you know I

[13:03]could have this for a year traded in and

[13:05]probably not lose my shirt

[13:08]right so what's over

[13:12]here you can't even tell what that is

[13:14]like God help me that's not

[13:19][Music]

[13:22]bird some little

[13:25]plugs what is this is that for cables my

[13:30]does it have storage under here I don't

[13:32]know how to okay yeah there's storage

[13:36]under

[13:37]there um just got to figure out how to

[13:40]put the bed

[13:41]up

[13:43]okay it's bit of a tight squeeze but not

[13:47][Music]

[13:54]terrible I don't know what to do part of

[13:56]me wants to just get go to a hotel for

[13:58]the night cuz it is so far but I didn't

[14:01]bring anything with

[14:03]me

[14:05]um so I

[14:08]just I don't know man

[14:13]I I mean I guess I'm I mean I'm doing

[14:19]this here I am I'm so close

[14:25]to I don't like the expression but I'm

[14:27]so close to pulling the trigger on this

[14:30]that I can feel it

[14:34]and and then you know it's like

[14:39]I've it's no

[14:42]longer I'm sorry I'm struggling with

[14:44]words to I don't know why it

[14:47]I once I do this I mean that's it I have

[14:52]really committed so cuz it's a lot of

[14:56]money um

[15:00]I don't know I like this one it's just

[15:03]it's basic but is that such a bad

[15:07]thing I mean what is it missing compared

[15:10]to other ones right I mean there's no

[15:12]table I mean it's got these

[15:15]things um I'll just draw it to you this

[15:17]way and it's got these things right for

[15:19]a small table but I don't know where it

[15:22]is maybe it's broken or

[15:24]whatever

[15:26]um okay oh yeah I saw in a YouTube video

[15:30]it said sit down on the couch and pull

[15:33]it up all the way and see how it feels

[15:37]and see where the TV is even I don't

[15:39]really much care for the TV

Summary

rswfire travels to Chattanooga, Tennessee to inspect a diesel RV he's considering purchasing. He walks through the vehicle, recording video while examining the interior layout, testing various features, and noting both positive aspects and mechanical issues. The RV is 6-7 years old with a diesel engine, which he specifically wanted for better gas mileage and mountain driving capability. He discovers various problems including doors that don't close properly, missing panels, and torn upholstery. Despite the issues, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the vehicle, particularly when testing the sleeping arrangements and seating areas. He mentions this would be his "starter" RV for learning purposes and notes he's traveling with two cats. After spending time in the vehicle, he decides not to make the purchase decision that day, instead putting down a deposit to hold it overnight while he considers the commitment. He plans to return the next morning after thinking it over, acknowledging this represents a major life change toward mobile living and exploration.
