Has anyone heard if Rexhall is still making motorhomes? I checked their website, and they show only a few used RV's for sale, and a recent sales of a "new" 2010.Previously, I saw where they were making custom buses that were ADA equipped, but not a word on their RV's. In the recent past, their RV's were really cutting edge. Sleek designs, two full wall slides that actually worked. Seems they are slowly moving away from the RV market. Any info would be appreciated.

I believe Rexhall sales factory direct, you order it they build it. I could be wrong though

Call or email them. Contact info.

There's a Rexhall Dealer just down the road from me in Lancaster, Calif. They still seem to be in business. Haven't changed their name or anything.Two years ago I went and spent a morning touring all their rigs. I was the only customer there. When someone on the skeleton crew spotted me, the owner himself came out to trail me around the lot.They had two units with the slides in I got to tour. Stupid design, IMO. The BED had to be lifted or it would smoosh into the opposite wall when you remotely pulled in the slides! Ruining it. Crunching the bed frame.Then, some idiot thought it fashionable that the couches have that dumb half moon extension on one end of the couch that sticks out into the walkway. What happens when you have the slide closed because of weather or travel? You have to jump or climb over the stupid thing. The slide in also covered the doors of the refer so you can't make a sandwich on the road. And the worse thing was that you couldn't use the toilet with the slides in.There was also an extensive use of Ultraleather...which of course is plastic and terribly uncomfortable most of the year. Guess they are all using that now because people think it's real leather. Names like Ultraleather, Leatherette, or Koskin Leather, are all fake leather. My guide told me that I couldn't order real leather, not available. Too expensive I guess. But that was two years ago. Maybe Rexhall has changed their design. I wouldn't have one though. Mainly because of the poor quality, construction, and design.

Jim,I do not know which models you did the walk thru on, but our 2010 Rexhall Aerbus does not have many of the problems you bring up.1. When we bought it used in Jan. 2014 in Eugene OR one of the first things we did was told them bring the slides in and let me see if the refridge door would open could we get to the bed & no it did not have to be raised and most important could we use the toilet with the slide in , yes even though it was a bit tight, quick use at a rest stop , gas station was easily possible. As for poor quality, are they perfect NO, but is your Bounder perfect?Just my opinion,Bill

My Rexhall had 0 problems. Had it for 7 years. Never went back to the dealer. As for the design, the new (old) Rexhalls, have the double, full wall slide. The 36' model felt like a 45' with all the width you gain. I did hear in the rear bathroom model, with the slides in, you do have to crawl over the bed to get to the bathroom. As far as raising the bed to avoid crushing the frame...never hear that one before.

Seems like Rexhall's shifting focus away from RVs lately. They used to have cutting-edge designs with full wall slides, but now they're mostly selling used RVs and custom ADA buses.

My kid went through the same thing a few years ago. For us, it was stress from school and changes at home. Have you asked him if anything’s been bothering him lately? Sometimes talking it out can really help. We found some useful tips in a few books and online articles about managing bedwetting.

Kind of sad to hear, as we had a 99 with two large slides, which was a big deal back then. We kept it for 12 years with almost no problems. Their welded steel frame construction seemed quite strong and durable.

Our firs motorhome was a 1994 Rexhall Airex wide body on an extended forf-53 chassis W/ fuel injection 460 engine. We really liked the layout so decided to add many additions / modifications.

I added a panhard bar, HWH 301 levelers, a winegard Movin-view satellite dome, a Kenwood Excelron high end stereo system and I modified the battery rack to hold three +12 volt grp 30 batteries. Next was to replace the Magnatek converter with an Astron adjustable voltage and current settings with panel meters.

The last modification was to add a full Gayle Banks system.

Through the years we only had a couple of issues; had to replace the fuel pump, the rear sway bar bushings, replaced the radiator and added a TruCool Max transmission cooler, a deeper aluminum transmission cover, and finally a transmission temperature sensor and gauge.

We put seventy-five thousand miles on the coach with no problems other than the normal service items. As for build quality I found no out of line issues. It has solid wood doors on the storage cabinets.

As time went on we wanted a diesel pusher with slides and after a couple years we found the one we purchased. However, the Rexhall is nowhere ready for retirement t as my son now owns it. :)

Oh, a few years ago I was told they were building to export to Australia. I still think Bill Rex put out a good product considering the times and the market.

Actually New Zealand, exported one or two

Their website is not up to date. It seems to me that they would have a market with all of the different floor plans that they have to offer.

The type of mirrors that attached to the top of the front window frame are not the best design. We looked at a Newell that offered that design. If you want to lower the window shades, because of the sun, the shades cannot go to the end of the windshield which leaves a 12 inch or so gap. The shades in the Newell were designed not to block the view of the mirrors.

The design made me want the mirrors that are attached to the lower part of the windshield. That way, the shades can be lowered to block the sun when it's lower in the sky.

Safe travels,
MM.

Rexall went out of business many years ago.

Not true. I know they went into bankruptcy, but they did not go out of business. From what others are saying, they are limping along, but not out of business. However, it does seem like they are headed in that direction though.

Rexall went out of business many years ago. As I recall, it was a front engine gas chassis (perhaps they built a DP model), on the lowe end of the market by price, and had the quality issues typical of low priced RVs.

I am very familiar with the issues surrounding mirrors that mount near the bottom of the windshield versus those that mount above the windshield. As with many choices in the RV world, this involves a choice of compromises. Yes, the high mount mirrors are blocked by partially lowering shades when driving into the sun. But they also offer a much better view along each side of the coach so a smaller vehicle can be more easily seen before making a lane change into already occupied space. These mirrors were developed for passenger buses in Europe, I have been told to raise them above passengers and pedestrians to prevent accidental head/mirror collisions. They are now virtually the universal style in most of the world. Newell offers a choice of either, with a pretty even split on the choices.

  The reason the mirrors are designed that way so as to not exceed DOT's 102" width limit. No vehicle can be over 102" wide without an oversize permit.

I stopped by the factory in Lancaster a couple of months ago and talked to the only person around. They are NOT manufacturing motorhomes. He was doing some detailing on a motorhome someone was going to pick up. I think he said they had 1 or 2 left. According to him, the big hit came when Workhorse stopped building. He said it's very unlikely they would start building motorhomes like they use too. He said, if they did (and he didn't seem to optimistic) that they would build something much smaller.

I looked at Rexhall's website and it's hard to tell from their diagrams, but they do have a couple of rear bathroom models that don't have a half bath up front. So clearly on those models with the slides closed you have to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom. It's hard to tell from the diagram what else may be blocked. I guess maybe some people may be fine with that, but I wouldn't be.
