Deserve O ! ALL REVIEWS ON HITCH's WEBSITE ARE UNDATED, PROOF HITCH POSTED THEM THEMSELVES , ARE UNVERIFIED AND THUS HAVE ABILITY TO ALTER!!!
We excitedly purchased our new camper in the Summer of 2021 & was treated like "KRAP" from staff. Trying to paint this picture calmly. (not easy!) They all pass the buck and cover for each other. No CEO to get to paid mandatory $400. Prep fee, to pick up uncleaned and visually damaged camper; witnessed detail guys dropping their tools down on glass stove cover and new countertop. Sent 33 items to Forrest River for warranty work AND TOOK TO CAMPERS WORLD, NOT BACK TO HITCH!!! Water pouring out of underbelly (they had used a 12' patch of duct tape) we couldn't use the camper at all due to this. The lack of ZERO return calls blew our minds! Called Dan, (sales manager, guy who sold it to us & financial manager & VERY RUDE AND SNOTTY WOMEN BEHIND PARTS DESK (was told by kid detailing camper that day she was his wife) & other parts manager - five people in all - repeated calls, emails, complete with pictures AND VIDEOS OF THE WATER POURING OUT!
NO RETURN CALLS FROM ANYONE! And no CEO to have these issues corrected. Forrest River Rep was stunned by video!
We drive the camper to Camping World who submitted a list of 32 items, three pages long and ALL were covered under warranty; invoice stated 'goodwill to customer'. Forrest River also said they would follow up internally on their end Because they were concerned as well With how we were treated! (and how they could release a camper like this. I think about the conversation where I was told by the sales guy Mike "oh we take it through a day long process and go over a multiple point inspection and go OVER EVERYTHING, well YOU MISSED A FEW THINGS! * side point ...Mike called me back to argue when I emailed him that I wold be telling all our friends we bought it from Camping World, to not promote HITCH! Mike did you really think I would take ANY calls from you at that point? A little too late!!
other items fixed or replaced: cracked door handle, outdoor drain (1 end was missing), Two sinks replaced (two small cracks), back splash replaced, unglued; sofa paint stains removed, underbelly replaced and plumbing repaired, stove glass panel replaced;(scratches) side sliver metal pieces on stove replaced, (scratches) grates vacuumed (filled with shavings) two curtains replaced (didn't work) blinds wand missing, glue on wall paper several areas covered with new wall paper, outside decals replaced (scratches) door fixed (openings for bugs to get in, squeak on awning fixed, two windows repaired - got stuck when opened, scratches on outdoor shower cover buffed out, wooden nicks on cabinets repaired, lights emptied of dead bugs.etc.
What is the $400 prep fee used for? How do you sell a new camper with duct tape and broken internal plumbing? How do you disrespect customers WHO SPEAK TO OTHER POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS?
We had Campers world STEAM OFF hitches decal on the back of the camper that read hitchrv..com and we TELL EVERYONE WE BOUGHT OUR CAMPER from camping world! It pains me to spend one more second of my energy on them, however if this review helps just one more person from falling prey to their unscrupulous dishonest business practices it will be worth it! especially because I had 'no voice' in the matter and the joy and excitement of getting our new camper was anything but! Every time I walk behind the camper now and see the spot where their name was STEAMED AND PEELED OFF I feel vindicated.
okay, I hope that was 'calm' ?! Thanks for reading and happy camping! read more
