Good afternoon All,
As many of you have heard me say before: no matter how thin the pancake, there is always two sides. And, regardless of the platform, RVForums, IRV2, YouTube, etc. I have always posted as myself, and not anonymously behind a handle. Meaning, I have, and I always will, own what I say and do.
Best case, it will be very difficult for me to rebut Winchipper’s 19 posts over the past 36 hours. However, I will endeavor to show the other side of the “pancake.” Winchipper was hired as NIRVC’s General Manager in Las Vegas for 90-day probationary period beginning 10/16/2024. However, Winchipper was terminated 75 days later on 1/3/2025. He is merely following through on his 60+ emails threatening to trash NIRVC publicly unless we capitulate to his outrageous demands. I refuse to participate in his unlawful extortion scheme; I have never, nor will I now respond to threats. Winchipper is free to do whatever he feels he’s big enough to do.
In an effort to put all of Winchipper’s past, and undoubtedly future posts into proper perspective: all of his knowledge regarding NIRVC, its manufacturers, customers, and indeed the RV industry, was gleaned from his scant 75-day tenure with us in Las Vegas. And no, Winchipper does not own a motorhome. Winchipper’s “40 years experience with dealerships” is a false equivalency as all of those years were with auto dealerships, not motorhomes.
Winchipper has sent numerous threatening emails to NIRVC on a daily basis since his termination, which resulted in NIRVC blocking him from our servers. Regrettably, the NIRVC managers who hired Winchipper were catfished—big time! After all, Winchipper has promised to create a “4 part and maybe 5 part” podcast and YouTube video series. Potential future employers will want to be sure and grab their popcorn; I can only hope his content saves them from getting catfished too!
Our 3rd Party Inspectors video wasn’t made at the behest of the manufacturer whom the Inspectors attempted to shakedown, nor was it to protect NIRVC’s reputation as our name wasn’t mentioned in their video. We made our video to finally shine a light on the practices of 3rd Party Inspectors in an attempt to inform and protect our customers. As for the inspection referenced in our video, I would be surprised if any purchaser would gladly pay $4,000 for that “inspection.” Our customer certainly wasn’t happy! However, I think the fact Winchipper chose to “die on the cross” for this Inspector goes right to the heart of what he is willing to prioritize over a customer. Birds of a feather will flock together. Our video spells out our process, and detailing a coach is the last step in the process before delivery, and only after all the technicians are out of the coach. Notwithstanding, Winchipper still clings to the coach being filthy, not hooked up to water, not ready for inspectors, etc., all of which occurred under his leadership as General Manager!!! His self unawareness continues to astonish.
For those of you who have visited one of our locations, you know our team members wear NIRVC blue uniforms. This dress-code policy is because our properties are very large, and I never want our customers struggling to find someone who can help them. We have always strictly enforced our Dress-code! “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Can you identify NIRVC’s General Manager?

Neither could our manufacturers or customers. Winchipper is wearing the maroon sweater and black stocking cap.
Lastly, to my knowledge, NIRVC’s Defects Per Unit (DPUs), as well as our soon-to-be-released Warranty Ratings, plus our database of what used coaches sell for relative to Book Value in the market, make NIRVC the only entity in the entire RV industry to publish such information. Naturally, I welcome anyone else in the industry to start reporting similar information! But, until someone does, for better or for worse, the industry will be stuck with NIRVC’s information, as it is all that currently exists.
Onward,
Brett
