Excelente video informativo felicitaciones,desde Sur América veo que hay cientos de millones de dolares,esperando a un empresario visionario,que recicle,repare y de vida a todo ese dinero en repuestos,metal,madera y motorhomes rediseñadas para los que quieran comprar una económica…Animooóooo USAAAAAAA…
If the owners were smart, they would take advantage of the property uniqueness. Let interested people drive through for 30 minutes. $10 per car! No parts included.
Depressed
Thanks for sharing,, wake up call
This Junk Yard would be a great Place to make another SCARY MOVIE Like CHUCKY or another ROB ZOMBIE Movie….
Very sobering… thanks for the insight
“Ah-vees?”
the people who have these RV dont think they will ever have a fire and the 1 to 3 pound fire extinguisher that comes with the RV just wont cut a fire of any size. My motor home has 2 6 pound 3 A 40 BC extinguishers and 1 10 pound ABC with a 4 A 60 BC rating
Never drive your RV with the fridge turned onto Gas. Also if it has a gas pilot flame make sure it is off ,turn the gas supply OFF at the gas tank/bottle befor driving away or else this is sure a way to start a fire because a wind draft will come in off the road.Many fires have happened this way,and it is just plain common sence anyway.
What happend to american quality? Tires that blow when they are older than 6 years, internal fires caused by a fridge, so what cheap kind of cirquit breaker
is used in those quarter up to a couple of million dollar rv’s? Or what kind of misserable fridge does catch fire? I’m from holland Europe, and we dont hear
such things here about rv’s.
Surprises me, there are even solar panels on the roofs of some of those RVs
Those number your reading is how many miles is on the rv.
Recommended age at which to install new tires on a motor home/ pull behind?
My 2021 Jayco 29.5BHOK 35′ 5th wheel is on is way to the junk heap and we NEVER GOT TO USE IT!!!
Fire started on the highway on our very first trip!
Where is the nearest Rv salvage yard around Fort Worth Tx
We had friends that were storing there allegro bus in a gated and guard dog rv park. Came in to pick it up and found a meth lab that had caught fire inside of it. RV stories never stop amazing me.
Sad,but enlightening…I’m from one of the areas most famous for building RV’s,North,Indiana.Many of us have worked in the factories..but,few have seen the sad endings of the ones they have helped build.Thank you!🙋♀️😁
And one Chrysler Crossfire
And this is why I’ll never have an LP refrigerator. Also, the replacement cost of new tires is nothing compared to replacement cost of an RV.
Kentucky Fried RV.
I saw this movie before, It’s called "RV Zombie’s".
Can’t believe they left everything inside along with food. They must have rats as big as dogs. 🤢 I’ve seen so many class A on 🔥 on the side of the freeway. My grandfather said it’s a bad design. He had 2 Air Streamers. Great video.
Q: How does a fridge cause a fire? It was mentioned several times but not explained…
I would rent or hire a crane, start stacking them atop each other, like jenga blocks! cool place! good to see a lot of woods surrounding to block the view.
They must buy them for pennies on the dollar
I was there in 2013 picking up a used slide-out, What a place.
Where is this Yard located
There’s Millions of Dollars of good Used parts here..
Thanks am buying a much smaller RV a roadtrek but this a great lesson video
great video, interesting to see
It’s where they go after they’ve died.
Thankyou soooo much for making this video in Kentucky, It is a reality check that cuts through the fantasy of the illusion that what we see will be with us in the long run. I am an RV tech, and I manage a campground. Everything in our world is temporary.
It’s like a junk yard😁
MONEY PIT
It sad to see…
If one stills run and not to bad of shape "I’ll buy that for a dollar "
Poor airstream camper waiting to die 🙁
Don t want to scare you or anything,as the scary music plays,oh oh I m going to have a nightmare tonight
What an absolutely amazing tour. You lucky ducks! I bet that was so much fun. Loved the video. Thanks
i FOUND your video interesting, there is rv junk yard near me it is near Joplin Mo. do you know any others or a list of them you can share a lot of people will be interested in then for parts like I am. I have an 2002 Cedar Creek it has been very good one just looking for parts that aren’t avaiable any more.
Insurance industry loves these vids
Seems like a waste of land, but looks like it’s been logged earlier.
thanks have also seen what it mean to take care of these rvs
Sorry the title is very misleading. RVs are already dead when they arrive there, they don’t get there under their own power and die there. You are confusing elephants and RVs.
What a waste of land.
Just buy a preice of land and park it there. That’s the only thing that RVs are good for
Wow looks like fire is a real concern.
Can I get 1 of these for free !!!?
2 questions for the audience:
1- Could the manufactures install a sprinkler (or fire suppression) system in the engine bay?
2- What are your thoughts about the Tyron products ?
If you go to the 8:59 mark on the video, it would make an awesome 1000 piece puzzle.
Some of the RVs look like they are in good condition. Why don’t they donate them to homeless people. ?
