I swear I saw our HD in the video. Lol. Love the video, great marketing tool. Now we have to do a video of the rally, not me, someone else.

Great video, should really help some folks make their decision. As said before I wish every division had a BC Clemons!!! I have worked with Cedar Creek and River Stone and will say they have some great people there as well and I have always received great help from them. We were looking at the Trilogy years ago and that rep was also very helpful. Love the paint jobs you guys put out!!!

I find it interesting that the biggest complaint from RV owners I read about is the lack of quality control putting these things together and not once is quality control inspections mentioned. Appears Dynamax does not have a quality control/assurance department. All systems checked for operation is mentioned but nothing about if those systems and their associated mechanical/electrical interconnects/hardware etc. were in process inspected for correct installation practices. Seems to me that quality control inspections would be a strong suit for any manufacturer. Just a thought.

I was under the impression from the website and salesman when I bought my Force HD that the coach had all aluminum framing making it much safer in a roll over but after watching this video it looks like only the roof has aluminum trusses? From the looks of the video am I correct in assuming this isn’t the case and that this thing would basically explode in a roll over?If this is the case would these types of RV’s only be safer in head on collisions and the standard bus conversions would be safer in a roll over?

Why would you gather that from the video? We specifically state that the walls and floor are aluminum framing???

And, isn’t there a shot of them welding the walls?

Says during the video that it is framed in aluminum. No where do any adds for RVs say safe for roll over.

Maybe I missed that part? Can you please tell me where in the video it shows a cage like the one on the website being installed or where they talk about it. I heard them say window and door frames were aluminum and that aluminum backers were strategically placed but I never saw a cage like the one on the website.

This is the only picture that I saw during that process and it doesn’t appear to have any type of cage installed. I am getting older though and it is entirely possible I missed it in the video or misunderstood what I was buying.

For the record I’m not saying anything bad about Dynamax. I was under the impression when I bought it that it had a sturdy cage frame in case of roll over. I’m just trying to figure out exactly what I bought.

I did go back and look closer. At first I thought they were just making the window frames in a table and jig but looking closer it does look like these may be the walls.

You are correct, I didn’t see anywhere it specifically said “safer in a roll over”. For some reason I thought I heard, read, was told that these had a sturdy cage frame making them safer in accidents/roll overs. I glanced at the website and saw a cage and didn’t bother to look and see it was just small square aluminum.

You may have seen the rollover statement in Born Free advertising.
