Newmar tour with Andrew Steele

[sheridany]

Andrew posted this last night. Maybe it’s me but why are the Newmar constantly shifting their eyes to look at something away from the camera? Are they reading a script?

How did Andrew Steele become some kind of RV “expert”? Not sure how he gets these interviews as I don’t see that he is that knowledgeable…. Maybe it’s just me.

Andrew is interviewing the VP of Operations, not some polished marketing person. I believe the VP isn't accustomed to doing interviews that are being recorded.

This is what happens to you when you use white sauce on barbeque.

Well maybe its only you and me, but Andrew drives me wacko.

LOL.
Amen….glad I am not alone. I find him annoying to listen to.

I only watched one of his videos and I felt dumber for having done it. I had to click the "do not recommend this channel" button on YouTube.

He’s pretty goofy but he has somehow established himself as a legit RV influencer type. I find his stuff difficult to watch too (other than his video about the fire in his old Newell) but there is usually (not always) some kernel of new info to be gleaned from his videos.

If you're referring to the Casey Tubman video where he is showing his London Air, I agree. II noticed Casy wasn't necessarily pleased when Theodore Miller showed up and Andrew was gushing.

IMO, Andrew has been drifting about in the last few years trying to figure out exactly what he wants to do with his channel. I became interested when he was doing his detailing videos because I could learn from them.

Then he went all-in on becoming a sales guy (my characterization) for The Motorcoach Store. He lost me with all of that.

Now, he’s finding himself able to get time with industry execs. My interest is building once again.

It seems to me Casey Tubman (who appears to be just old enough to get a driver’s license) is embracing the newer forms of media to get his message out and connect with a younger demographic. Andrew fits that profile.

He gets paid on some of the content. When he did the video on desert shores earlier this year he was paid by the resort. It wasn’t an insignificant amount. He has viewers so that’s why he can or does charge.

I'm not familiar with that one. The one I watched was an interview with some RV salesman. The topic was "do I need an RV inspection when buying used". It was ridiculous. It started out with "of course you need one" then morphed into "you don't need one when buying from us because you can trust us", then to "RV inspectors suck because I once met one who didn't know gas from diesel". It was all over the place and didn't offer anything useful.

I thought the same thing when the video started but adding up the years he spent at previous jobs, I think he is in his 50's.

Life can be so cruel and unfair.

I don't care for him either and don't watch his channel. He lost me with his Newmar bashing years ago comparing to Newell's, etc. Whiney voice etc. and I'm curious what happened after his coach fire? Anyways, he makes money off of monetizing YouTube. I understand it's typically about 1K per 10,000 views, I could be wrong. He has a good subscriber base so he's making money off of each video. If only people like Newmar would accept more reputable people for their interviews, he's not the one IMHO.

Andrew seems to be focusing on areas that are big problems with Newmar and trying to change the narrative.

Paint is one area where Newmar has terrible quality control, and the answer is not to make it even more complicated. He also wrongly says that the clear coat is hard. Basf clear coat is very soft and remains soft. That is to allow the cut and buff but remains a problem thru its life.

He also points out how good they do on the corners when the opposite is true. That is where many of the defects are and where paint peel begins within the first 4 months.

I know he is paid to do these and makes money from the sponsors but that is one of the many reasons I don’t trust it.
