I bought a 2017 5th Wheel from American RV. A few things happen to the trailer and I drive 3 hours one way to take it back to American RV (service) in March 2018. A seam by the kingpin separated on our drive home, 2 of the slides were leaking water, the latches on 1 of the outside storage doors were sticking, the tv wasn't working and the automatic leveler wouldn't turn on. They actually fixed it a lot faster then I thought, about 1 week. But when we got there to pick it up, the automatic leveler still wasn't working and it had to be jumped. A week later, while we're on vacation, 1 of the slides that were fixed is still leaking water, the USB outlet quit working, 1 of the outlets in the bedroom was dangling from the ceiling and worst of all the same slide that was leaking tore a hole in my floor and there was a huge bubble in the wall behind the couch.
Now, this is where all the drama begins!!!!
I take it back to American RV (ANOTHER 6 HOUR DRIVE) to have them fix it in April 2018....I just picked it up yesterday JUNE 26, 2018 AND THEY DID NOTHING, THEY'VE HAD MY TRAILER FOR 2.5 MONTHS!!!! This whole time HOWARD in service kept telling me that Winnebago was holding up the repairs, all the parts were on back order, they wanted a labor estimate with the part estimate....REALLY?? Why wasn't labor included to begin with?????
Anyways, I call Winnebago and ask them what the problem is and come to find out, they don't even have a work order or a warranty repair request on file from American RV. They have nothing. So now Winnebago is trying to find out what's going on. The same day I speak to Winnebago, the dingbat HOWARD calls me to give me an update. An update on nothing. He says they're still waiting and nothing new has happened. So I advise him of what Winnebago told me...they don't have a work order...Howard obviously becomes quiet and says, let me find out what's going on and I'll call you back...that was June 3, 2018, and I haven't heard from him since. He refused to call me back, he refused to talk to me, he even refused to talk to Winnebago...when Winnebago's customer service called Howard yesterday June 26 to see if the trailer was in 1 piece so I could pick it up...Howard was rude and nasty to him. He asked him why was he calling him and he would only speak to me about my trailer and that he would call me directly!!! REALLY??? The idiot won't even speak to me...and needless to say, he never called me. So I called Howard to tell him I was coming to pick up my trailer, of course, he didn't answer the phone, I spoke to someone else and asked him to pull my trailer out cause I would be there today to pick it up. I called back around 5pm because I had a feeling that (maybe) it wasn't moved. The receptionist told us Howard said "You already spoke to someone and they said it would be out there", pretty nasty yet again.
This idiot is unprofessional, incompetent and rude...I can't believe this guy still has a job or that his employer tolerates his behavior...especially the way he was nasty and unprofessional with Winnebago. It's obvious I slipped through the cracks and this guy dropped the ball. Even Winnebago said they gave him numerous chances to redeem himself and he NEVER did. And you have this clown in service???? What a joke.
American RV Service is the worst business I've ever dealt with. I think everyone is still disgruntled because Camping World bought out their crappy business. If you don't believe me, buy your RV from them, and make sure you take it in for service...you'll find out how horrible they are. read more
