Can you actually live in these rigs? We cut through the sales pitches and assess the practicality of each unit, from pre-owned gems to shiny new models. Let's dive into this smorgusbord of RVs and see what's worth your time and money.

Pre-Owned Finds: Are They Worth the Gamble?

The video starts with a look at pre-owned RVs, and honestly, that's where the real value often lies. Matt highlights a 2009 GFream BT Cruiser listed at $44,731. A 2009 model? You betcha. But Matt points out how exceptionally clean it is. He says, "This is a very, very, very, very clean 2009 motor home. Somebody's going to absolutely love it." That means somebody kept it up. Keep in mind, though, that he doesn't have the keys to check the mileage. A thorough inspection is a MUST.

Another pre-owned unit is a 2011 Serrano 31X for $38,711. This one's older and shows some wear, but Matt thinks it would be perfect for a camper. He notes that these older RVs hold a certain status symbol. It is important to keep in mind that older RVs may require more maintenance, so budget accordingly.

Matt mentions a pre-owned 2022 Arya diesel pusher listed at $214,999. He says that the unit looks immaculate. It is important to do a deep dive inspection of any RV that you are considering purchasing and to consult with an RV professional if necessary.

New vs. Used: Geneva and Beyond

Moving into the new models, Matt showcases a Geneva 28 VZ with no slide-outs, priced at $94,711. No slide-outs might sound limiting, but Matt emphasizes the simplicity and spaciousness it offers. He states that it is "open, airy, and spacious." This is the way that it is at all times! For full-timers who prioritize ease of movement and setup, this could be a solid choice. The downside? Less living space compared to models with slides.

He also checks out a smaller Geneva 21 VT Chevy for $79,999. Matt praises it as a great alternative to a B van, offering more space for the money. The nimble size also makes it easier to drive. This is a major plus for navigating national parks, like Zion. Matt also notes that this one is "super duper nice".

Matt showcases a Thor Tibberon 24RW at $134,980. He notes that this unit has to go and that that is a great price for a Mercedes model. Before you buy any RV, make sure you do your research and determine your budget and priorities.

Luxury on a Budget? Renegade and Leisure Travel Vans

Don't be fooled by the "luxury" label – practicality still matters. Matt explores a pre-owned Leisure Travel Van Unity for $83,980. Despite a slight dog smell, he acknowledges that Leisure Travel Van owners know quality when they see it and that the unit will not be here by the end of the week now that it is on the show. The unit offers a phenomenal rear bathroom, which you do not see in any bees. These B+ vans are a step up in terms of features and build quality.

Next up is a 2015 Renegade 25RBS at $76,711. Matt says that for those who don't like to sleep in their rig a lot, this would make a nice office, bathroom, and kitchen area. The unit provides a frameless window and full body paint.

Brinkley and Alliance: Are They Worth the Hype?

Matt tours several Brinkley models, emphasizing their automotive styling and high-end features. He notes that because they sell Alliance and Brinkley and Integra, that this is probably his favorite dealership of all time. While he can't advertise the sale prices online, he assures viewers that the GM will offer phenomenal deals. If you prioritize quality and are willing to pay for it, Brinkley might be your brand. However, be prepared for the higher price tag.

He also mentions Alliance RVs, highlighting the Delta Solo ML1, with a sale price of $34,980. The price you see here, however, just reach out to the team, because they are going to get you a lot better price than that.

Unexpected Finds: Outdoors RV and ATC

One of the biggest surprises is the presence of Outdoors RV and ATC trailers. He showcases a new Outdoors RV Titanium series, discounted to $69,981. Matt notes that it may not be the flashiest, but it feels well-built and of quality. The unit has auto-leveling and frameless windows.

He then checks out ATC trailers, known for their all-aluminum construction. A new ATC 2025 is listed at $79,900, discounted from $120,000. Matt emphasizes the aluminum cabinetry and solid surface countertops. These trailers are built to last. If you're looking for durability and are willing to invest, ATC could be a great option.
