After watching this why would anybody buy an RV. The low leave of craftsmanship and material... those workers should be ashamed. And I know this videos old but I can tell you they only use cheaper materials and cut even more corners.
I was told by RV repairman mine is a 2007 he said in 2007 the quality was much better compared to now. That does not say much. But paid notvso great wages and piece rate they are basically forced to slap them together fast by the RV mfrs.
she said solder. it's basically the same as welding but at much lower temperatures, typically used for copper like copper electrical wiring or copper pipes. you would never use solder on steal though because it doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to penetrate, it would just break right off.
What does "...to wouldn't want to..." even mean? Soldering steel together (well, brazing it) is done with tubing and lugs with very tight clearances between them and the tubing. No RV maker in the world "solders steel together" for the frame; they _weld_ it.
Crappy, crappy workmanship and materials. Also -- "...a thin wood called 'luan'..." No, it's called "plywood", and it _some_ varieties are made from wood called "luan" (pronounced "luh-WAN"). What they are showing is _not_ luan.
I'm pretty sure they don't solder the frame together. I'm pretty sure that they weld the frame.
No solder is much better hehe
They actually use a 60/40 rosen core lead solder
Agreeded
I came to the comments to say.
Hope they didnt solder my rv frame together. I knew they were built cheep but danget!
@@cobre7717 Hahaha...that's a scary thought.
She said they "solder" the frame together... LOL solder.....
This is why you buy used older units. You should see how they're made now days ... slapped together in 4x the speed if not more.
They make the floors so cheap. I see why after 20 years the floor has soft spots. And the roof leaks 🤦♀️
Mine was 16 and had to have entire sub floor and joices replaced. Poor workmanship.
Nice 👍🏻
Am I the only one that closed my eyes when they started welding?
yes :D
They were soldering
no but I did close my eyes when she called it soldering
The voice from hell is here again !
I'm surprised there is no metal frame on the top part.

glad i wasn't the only one who thought this.

2x2 wood frame ? No thanks.
I built my own out of a STEEL frame cargo trailer.
Same here. 👍
Damn they build those things cheap! I bet the mark up is 5x the cost to build!
Duh
I know this video is old but you guys are several decades after Europe in constructing RVs...
Wait, wait, wait; WHAT? They SOLDER THE FRAME PARTS TOGETHER???? That's what she said!!!!
Is it just me, or does it sound like a faint motor in the background throughout this video?
Sodder the frame parts together??????? Is sodder some new kind of process that is better than welding?
veryanoynimouse Are you actually ok?
veryanoynimouse it's "solder", not "sodder".

I can’t think of a single reason to wouldn’t want to solder steel together.
What does "...to wouldn't want to..." even mean?

did she just say they solder the frame together? that doesn't sound right. it looks like they're MIG welding the frame together, not soldering it.
they are using a mig welder
You can solder with a mig welder. These people in this video were definitely 100 welding.... but you can solder with a mig welder.
Solder?
Definitely not a THOW.
Jjjjjunk !
RV’s are so cheaply made theses days
@kevykev38 she didn't say solder she said SADAR
Is there a version of this where Brooks Moore narrates? Cannot stand listening to a lady who sounds like she has menopause.
Nooooo! It's her again! Stop her talking someone!
sodder=solder
A very expensive piece of crap.
Don’t buy one.
Crappy, crappy workmanship and materials.
