We all know CW’s reputation. However, they have a LOT of RVs so it’s a good place to look and touch many different makes, models, and styles in one place.
We were looking at the Jayco Seismic 399 and the local CW had one, so off we go. The sales kid was typical CW; didn’t know squat about the RV, but was willing to do whatever it took to get my signature before we left. We told him that we’d be back. I had to tell him twice to stop text-bombing me with every single thing that happened in for the next two days.
I am uneasy because of CW’s rep, but this is a nice camper and it hits almost all of our wants and needs.
We took another look three days later. We made an appointment, he had the 399 pulled out and powered up. However, it was never cleaned. The camper was filthy inside. Sawdust, shavings, piss in the toilet (no water hooked up), rubber door bumpers lying around the cabinets. Just unprofessional all around. We left to see one more and now my wife is feeling a bit uneasy about Camping World.
We found a Grand Design at different chain site, but mush smaller chain in the SE U.S. The Momentum 392 hit every single item on our list, but it was more expensive than the Jayco or the Alliance Valor 44V14.
We made a deal with Great American RV Superstores that day. I let the CW and another dealer know that we had bought from a different dealer. The Alliance salesman was cool, but disappointed.
Be low is the text that I received from the Camping World Panama City sales associate.
“Wow I worked very very hard on making this happen guys if that was a problem before I worked multiple days and hours on this why didn’t you tell me before hand . This is how I feed my family guys and I waisted a lot of time trying to get you a deal of a life time but you were shopping me the whole time either way , thanks .”
That evening and the next day he sent about 5 or 6 texts trying to undo the damage. I finally had to tell him that if he texted me again, I was going to his boss and to corporate about his behavior.
I swear, I will never give Camping World another dime of my money and will spread the word about their high-pressure sales tactics, the lack of professionalism, and how they do not even bother to pick up the parts that fall off their new RVs before you look at them.
That company is just awful.
