Buyer Beware! I would rate them zero stars if I could…read more We purchased a used trailer from Camping World in Grand Rapids, and it was a huge mistake. By the time they finished adding fees, services, and extras, the final price was substantially higher than what we expected. If you're considering buying an RV here, I strongly recommend hiring an independent RV inspector before signing anything. Camping World claims they perform a thorough inspection on every used RV before selling it. Based on our experience, I don't believe that's true. Our problems started almost immediately. Issue #1: About a week before our first major camping trip, I went to extend the slide-out and discovered there was no power from the 12-volt system. The battery was completely dead. I bought and installed a new battery, which allowed me to extend the slide, but by the next day that battery was dead too. I had to manually retract the slide and tow the RV an hour back to Camping World. Their service department found loose wires in the 110-volt connection that prevented the battery from charging. This absolutely should have been caught during any legitimate pre-sale inspection. Issue #2: Once we arrived at our campsite, we discovered the water heater didn't work. Thankfully, we had purchased the extended warranty, so it was covered--but it still took three weeks to get authorization and complete the repair. During that same trip, the black tank dump valve became stuck open because debris had been left in the tank by the previous owner. Again, the extended warranty covered the repair, but it was another unnecessary hassle that should have been prevented before the RV was sold. We also purchased the ceramic coating package, which I consider a complete waste of money. I previously sold ceramic coating products for years, so I know how they should perform when properly applied. Camping World either does not apply the product correctly or, based on what I observed, may not apply it at all. Our RV was dirty when we picked it up, with black streaks still on the exterior. After washing it, water did not bead or sheet off the surface as it should with a properly applied ceramic coating. That raised serious questions about whether the coating had ever been applied. After our second camping trip, I noticed a repaired area on the camping side of the RV. There were obvious paint runs, and graphics that exist on the opposite side were missing. You could even see the outlines where the original decals had been. Camping World denied performing the repair, but it's concerning that this damage was never disclosed. What really left a bad impression was the sales process. While we were signing the loan paperwork, several employees walked by and commented things like, "Is that RV new? It looks brand new." They all knew it wasn't new because Camping World doesn't even sell this model new. It felt like a deliberate attempt to make us feel we were getting something newer than we actually were. I returned to the dealership to give them an opportunity to make things right. The sales manager simply told me that used units are sold "as is" and refused to address any of our concerns. We also spent a significant amount of money on accessories and upgrades in their store. After this experience, we will never purchase another RV or any products from Camping World again. We'll also be sharing our experience with friends, family, and anyone considering buying from them. Do your homework, have an independent inspection performed, and be extremely cautious before purchasing a used RV from Camping World.

They switched RVs on me -- and thought that I would not notice! First, they gave me a VIN to insure only to replace it with a DEFECTIVE unit afterwards. Diana Hopkins (the salesperson who helped us purchase our first RV), resigned a couple of weeks after selling us the defective RV. Josh Miller (the Financing guy) took $10,000 for a down payment only to ask for another $2,000 because they added all kinds of frivolous charges (i.e., Freight, Prep, Vehicle Service Contract, Paint Protection, Tire & Wheel Protection, Roof Protection, etc.). This is a SCAM, by the way and a lawsuit was filed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gpx25pxdyo&t=1192s. To make matters worse, the Tire Pressure Management System (TPMS) was not working and they allowed me to drive off with underinflated tires! Very dangerous! The walkthrough was a joke (took less than 5 minutes!) and Josh Miller (the Financing Guy) was nowhere to be found -- because his job of screwing me over is done! The wheel alignment was not done properly with some kind of shady "alteration" and became a pointing-finger game between Thor Motor Coach and Ford Commercial! Three months later, the problem was still NOT FIXED -- instead recommended me to buy a "stabilizer" to help in the wobbly sensation of steering the RV! The gross part: the drain pipe for the blank and grey tank was set horizontally (instead of vertically) -- which resulted to a VERY MESSY and DISGUSTING experience -- as the fecal matters and "residue" are stuck in the hose once detached from the drain pipe. After the lengthy back-and-forth, hotel and rental car costs, not to mention the hefty price of almost losing my job because I had to beg my boss to allow me to work remotely (instead of being onsite in the state of Iowa), Camping World just "washed their hands" and pretended like I am "just another number" and would walk away quietly after they have screwed me over. Well, I have news for you, Camping World: I WILL NOT BACK DOWN AND I WILL SUE YOU AND BROADCAST TO THE WHOLE WORLD THE CRIMES YOU HAVE DONE! Thanks... BUT NO, THANKS! Dennis Dizon

I had been on the website and found two separate plinking rifles I wanted to buy, but after two hours I was over it. Went on the website again where I ordered and paid for them. Full seven days to get them from a store an hour away. NICS got "delayed" which is pretty common here, so I called to try and check the status after a week and after being hung up on before even answering by customer service, the guy who finally answered spoke like he hated having to work at all, and basically said it could take 30 days so there's no point in calling for a status update. Gun counter wouldn't even answer. 30 days to just hope I get a call about taking possession of my $1000 purchase. Incredible waste of time for overpriced products and rude customer service. This is one store our area could do without.

Not only did they have a variety of volleyball shoes for us to choose from, they stayed open 20 minutes past their closing time to take care of us and help us out of this bind.

I was immediately greeted by at least two salespeople who pointed me in the right direction as to what I was looking for. This location offers clothing, outer wear, accessories and footwear for men, women and children. I wish that they offered more for men though. A few minutes later I discovered that not only was I being watched by a guy in a button up shirt and jeans but, he was following me around the store. NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE STEAL! I do not steal nor have I ever stolen anything in my life! And to think I was going to buy my daughter a new jacket for school. I have never experienced this in any other The North Face store or The North Face outlet store. So I looked around the store a little more, told the salespeople to have a nice day and left.
