Is Rexhall Still Producing Motorhomes?

I remember seeing a Rexhall at a RV show a few years ago. Their furniture seemed tiny. All looked very nice but on a small scale.

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,

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.
