Is Rexhall Still Producing Motorhomes?

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.

  • That's what I thought msmith, that's why I quickly exited the dealership.

    BTW, I'd been in other new Rexhall's that morning with the slides extended. The bed was up in the two I toured with their slides in. I certainly asked the guy about it, and he's the one that told me they have to be up when the slides were in...even while traveling.
  • I've been in a lot of motorhomes over the years, but I've never seen one with the problems Jim described. It doesn't even make sense to design a motorhome like that.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • I believe Rexhall sales factory direct, you order it they build it. I could be wrong though
