Our experience with ArrKann Trailer & RV Center Rocky View has been nothing short of disastrous.
We purchased a CanaDream Inc used motorhome from Eva Moser (Internet Sales Manager) and Brock Simmons (General Sales Manager) in May 2024 after being assured it was "like brand new," fully inspected, and in excellent condition. These statements were blatantly untrue. Brock even refused to supply items promised at the time of sale until we escalated the issue to head office.
After driving 800 km to pick up the unit, we immediately discovered multiple issues--followed by more within 24 hours: a torn mattress, missing parts, cracked tires, electrical failures, a leaking hot water tank, and a large stain above the driver's seat that staff dismissed as "soap residue." This stain was later proven to be long-term, undisclosed water damage that ArrKann RV should have known about and that CanaDream Inc., the real owner at the time, had previously documented. None of this was disclosed by ArrKann RV during the sale.
We then spent months caught between ArrKann Trailer & Sport Center in Edmonton and CanaDream inc in Delta, BC. We were forced to make 860 km trips for each repair at our own expense, only to face delays, poor workmanship, and incomplete repairs. While the motorhome sat unusable, water began leaking into the front cab--the exact area we questioned on pickup and were told it was soap residue from the detailing guys and that it had "no leaks or previous damage" stated by Eva Moser and Riley, the technician.
Later records confirmed prior roof work in all the same locations.
ICBC then informed us the motorhome could not be registered because it was still legally registered to CanaDream Inc.
ArrKann RV sold us a vehicle they hadn't properly transferred.
Repairs done by CanaDream Inc were not industry standard, and we were denied any documentation of the repairs performed. We were told everything was between Jason Granger (CanaDreamn Inc Sales Manager) and Chris Caldwell (VP Customer Experience & Marketing, ArrKann RV).
We received no receipts, no repair details, and no transparency.
ArrKann RV then Chris Caldwell asked us to sign a release waiving all future claims. We refused.
Their urgency to obtain our signature was as telling as alarming.
In early 2025, when attempting to trade the motorhome in, the receiving dealer uncovered major structural roof damage, hidden repair work, and long-term water intrusion that both ArrKann RV and CanaDream Inc failed to disclose, even though they were in possession of inspection reports that stated otherwise. This resulted in losses exceeding $30,000 to us personally.
When we approached Chris Caldwell to discuss compensation or talk accountability, we were denied. We were told the unit was used and had "no warranty," despite months of misrepresentation, false assurances, and repeated promises that the situation would be made right.
If you are considering buying from ArrKann Trailer & Sport Center or CanaDream Inc, proceed with extreme caution. Our experience has been financially devastating, stressful, and deeply disappointing. It appears that used RVs sourced from CanaDream Inc are being flipped quickly with minimal inspection and no transparency. Many promises--no follow-through.
We trusted the "family-owned, award-winning" image they promote. Unfortunately, our experience suggests otherwise. Their heavy advertising on repairs and winterizing now feels like the old tale of a fox guarding the henhouse.
