I bought an RV from CW in Akron. I was shown what could be shown due to winterization. Everything looked ok on the surface, but when I got it home and took it to my local RV center I was told the roof was bad and the generator had a mouse nest right under the generator muffler that would have caught fire had I not found this before taking it out for its maiden voyage. I asked the salesperson if there were any problems with any of the systems, roof and generator specifically, and the answers were vague and non specific. Now I don't expect a perfect coach, but I also don't expect to spend the equivalent of the sales price on my first service inspection either. I was told it was 'AS IS' - the one thing they were certain of but I think inspecting the roof and generator (and who knows what else could be wrong in the full test after de-winterization) and the systems in the coach when they take these in should be the least of what they do. How else would they know its value. So I can only draw two conclusions: one - they move these through so fast that they never test what they are selling and can hide behind the 'we didn't know' defense - and I would call that shoddy business practices bordering on incompetence. Or two, they did know and just did not pass that information along to the sales department, who in turn didn't pass it along to the customer so they could make an informed decision - that is what I would call deceptive practices. So incompetent or deceptive, either way when you buy used be sure you take someone who knows RVs with you to check out all the systems yourself as you can not trust the information from the dealership. And spend enough time with your coach to get a solid idea of what is wrong. I am not an RV mechanic, and did not think I would need to be to get straight answers about the coach's condition, but apparently that is not the case. I had to pay another dealer to get the truth about the condition of the AS IS coach I just bought. So shame on me for trusting... shame on them for knowing (or not knowing) and / or sharing so little information. I contacted my salesperson and informed him of the situation and told him I would be writing reviews. We will see if anything comes of it. I may find next the waterheater, furnace, plumbing, electrical or some other system is faulty and be SOL on those counts too. Do yourself a favor and get a 30 day warranty so you can have this checked out before you use it. I am only thankful I did as it may have caused fire with potentially horrible results from something that was supposed to bring such pleasure. Camping World do a better job inspecting your coaches when they come in and share any information you have with potential buyers... it is the right thing to do and the right way to do business. I will follow up after I de-winterize the coach and test the other systems. Again, I expected some glitches but not major structural and safety issues that put my family's life at risk - first and foremost and secondly, double the cost of the RV that I was told that was reasonably structurally sound and safe. I will update in two months. read more
