    Bought a brand new camper from camping world in November 2024. Camper had a sticker on the front of it stating the camper had been winterized. During the walk through the service person said it was also winterized. Yesterday my fiance and I decided to de-winterize it so we can take the camper out this weekend. We put water in the camper and it blows water out the water heater tank. We call camping world and tell them it is brand new never been used and it was winterized by them and they told us they wouldnt cover it. They also told us according to their system the camper was never winterized because an employee didnt code it in their system and they didnt bill us for winterization. There is red antifreeze in the sink and a sticker on the door saying its winterized but camping world service manager doesnt believe us and blamed it on the manufacturer for putting a sticker on the camper. They sold us the camper with the sticker on it and told us it was winterized though. Manager said we needed to give him the name of the service person who did our walk through almost 4 months ago which we dont remember. Service manager wont take accountability for the busted water tank heater even though the camper is brand new never been used and we just tried de-winterizing it and noticed the water tank heater is ******************* water when filling the camper with water. Theyre scamming us into paying out of pocket when it should be covered by them or the manufacturer. They already scammed us into paying more more than what was listed for the camper by five grand and now they want even more money for something we didnt break.

    We went to camping world saturday to look at campers. We found one and were pressured into doing the paperwork. We obliged but did not take delivery of the vehicle. The following morning on Sunday we decided it wasn't the right time and went back to the dealership and explained to them we did not want the vehicle. They said that they would have to talk to corporate but it would be monday before they were there and that they would be in touch. We did not hear from them monday, and on tuesday they decided to drop the vehicle off in front of our house. We still never physically took delivery of the vehicle nor have we test drove the vehicle. Nobody called to let us know they were dropping the vehicle off nor do we no where they placed the keys

    ************** first came in to the dealershio on May 18th. He found a camper that he liked and gave us a deposit to hold the unit until he completed a house refinance. On multiply occasions he told us he still wanted the unit and he was waiting on the home refinance to close. After his refinance closed, he came to the dealership on Saturday June 29th. On the 29th, he signed all of the paperwork and gave the entire downpayment.His loan has been funded and he is the owner of the camper.

    We purchased a brand new camper from Camping World of Colfax NC in September of 2023, since then we have had a variety of issues with our new camper landing us in the service department 4 times so far. We had a slide out that had to be ***laced after using the camper one time, and the refrigerator has not worked properly since we purchased the camper.. We have taken the camper to Camping World numerous times over the refrigerator issue, and they know there is a problem with it but refuse to ***lace it as they are "unable to diagnose the problem" We've wasted gas taking it over an hour and a half to them each time, as they do not offer mobile service only to be told to just come pick the camper up about a week later as they claim our fridge works fine.. It DOES NOT work fine, it continuously blows fuses, or will turn on but will not cool.. We are at our wit's end and don't know where to turn as no one there seems to want to help.. We've been lied to and mislead, as our service *** told us this last trip to go ahead and bring the camper back and they would ***lace it with a unit from another camper, only to be called a week later stating they have " still been unable to diagnose a problem" and deny that they ever promised a ***lacement, which is a flat out lie, we would not have even wasted our time bringing it back in for another attempt at diagnosis.. Camping World needs to make this right!! For over $70,000 I need a working refrigerator or a valid resolution as to why our refrigerator did not work and what they have done to fix it!

     I am rejecting this response because: I have been told twice before that the check was going to be issued by multiple employees. Once over 90 days ago and once 2 weeks ago.  No one from camping world will call me back to verify any details concerning this issue. At this point we have no idea how much is being refunded and how much we have lost over the coarse of camping world continuing to delay sending the check. 

    Camping world is actively holding us up from being able to sell our camper by with holding the warranty refund. Not only are they costing us money on the refund of our warranty but also costing us Interest every month that we are unble to close our loan with the financial institution. 

    Multiple employees have our contact information, I am requesting someone contact us with the total amount we are being issued and verification of the check being issued. Otherwise I am to assume failed issuance of the check and will proceed onto legal action pertaining to the matter inlcuding back pay for the months that have been wasted due to camping world failure to process our cancel request within the 45 days listed under ere own guidlines. 

    who said he was taking care out it and assured us the check was being sent out that thursday which was over 2 weeks ago. We now are getting no response from the company.

    Business Response

    The check is being processed and will be sent out on Monday. I have been out of town and am just getting back in the office today.

    It's my understanding that *********************** has spoken to ************* and he is now aware of the refund amounts and we are processing them as quickly as possible.

    Warranty work should have already been processed and started way back in April or earlier I have emails of the time this was suppose to have been going. Also with follow up emails from myself asking for updates with no response. Consistently been ignored and dealing with this many issues not acceptable. d. Also this unit has. A recall and they have not fixed this issue either for a GAS LEAK. Feel like spend this much money with issues that aren’t being resolved or even helped out.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/28/2023

    We have submitted a warranty claim and are waiting on an approval. This should have been done much earlier and we will stay on top of this until it gets resolved

     I am rejecting this response because:

    To begin with! There were many miscommunications! You Service Tech and you never explained what an 'Idealer Head" why it needed replaced? I told you and the service tech the end camp and tube were damages and needed repaired or replaced. I did not know what I approved It was never explained to me.

    I received a quote or estimate. The service agent went to the arms and ignored my request to fix the tube and end cap. It was incorrect evaluation that the Fabric was rip and the motor was surging, hat was simple untrue in an attempted to over-charge me.

    And you have never addressed the fact my RV was returned damaged with a dead battery so I couldn't inspect the awning.

    You Charge me $294 to put 3 inches of material back into a track. Isn't that over charging too?

    We have agreed in the past the poor communication that has happened with your service agent. He failed to listen to my request. 

    How Unethical is it to change me $600 for a repair that would fail. If you didn't want to repair with my budget, you should have told me to pick it up.

    You all are still refusing to listen to me. I requested the tube and end cap fix, that knew was broken. You failed to fix it and explain so I could understand what was fixed.

    Again, I requesedt the end cap be fixed because it came off the tube.  That was the simple request.  Why wasn't it fixed?  You only answered is I didn't approve the replacement of the whole awning.  Did you ever give me a quote to replace the end cap and roller tube?  No you did not!  

    Why did you charge me over $300 to put 3-4 inches of Fabric back into the track.  Was the fabric rip?  No. Again you never addressed this lie by your service agent to me.

     




    nd the End Cap can off the Roller Tube, damaging the End Cap, the Roller Tube, the other side the awning. Also damaging the arms on both sides and the side of my RV. I spoke with the General Manager. He was argumentative. Stated "We recommended the Awning be replaced". I tried to explain to him that this started out as a simple repair. I just wanted the end cap and roller repair. Which did not happen. The GM implied I was cheap because I did not replace the Awning and the damage was somehow my fault.

    I contacted Customer Service and the reply I received that I was told that the awning needed to be repaired and it would have failed if not replace. That the awning was repaired per manufactures standards and the correct screws were placed into the roller. The roller should have been replaced. That they were not going to do anything for me because I was told the whole awning should have been replaced. They failed to replace my parts that I requested.

    Business Response

    lMr. *****! The only things we agreed to replace was the LH idler head. You also asked if we could put the awning fabric back in track and we did. This is all that you approved to be done. We were never given approval to fix the tube or the end cap. The screws in your end cap are the factory installed screws. After we talked the first time, I went and had my shop foreman and the tech working on it look at the issues with me. They showed me what they diagnosed and as I explained on the next phone conversation, the tech did the right thing recommending a new awning. We also talked about at the minimum, we recommended the left awning arm, left idler head and a right side motor cap. You declined everything but the idler head. You told me about the divorce you were going through, or had gone through and you only had a certain amount you could spend. At that point I discussed with you that doing just the idler head was gonna cost more than that with the labor and we agreed on the final price. Yes, the old part was not put in your unit, and once I get the part I will let you know. We did what you specified us to do. You were very particular on what you wanted done. Your copy we gave you has the complete breakdown, but I will resend it. Have a great day!

     

       Our initial recommendation was to replace the entire the awing. He declined and stated he need a less expensive option. We offered several more options, all of which were declined. The final approval was based off of Mr. *****'s budget.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and I accept it contingent upon actually receiving a check and receiving an amount consistent with the sale. I would also like a transparent accounting of the sale. I would like verified documentation of the final sale price of the unit. I was promised a check before for $3.7k but never received it. Promising another check is not enough. I need to receive one.

    I put my ********* travel trailer in the Camper World body shop around October 15, 2021. I was told then that shipping and receiving are taking longer than usual due to the pandemic. I figured they should get the parts needed to repair the damage before the end of 2021. after all, that is nearly two and a half months before the end of the year. I have called and driven over there to check on the repairs several times. That was in January 2022. The parts coming from ********* had yet to arrive, so I called both ********* and Camper Worlds corporate offices regarding the delivery of the needed parts. I was told by corporate that they would check and see what the problem was. Both offices said they would give me a call ASAP. Near the end of February, I drove to the shop only to be told their computers had crashed twice. My reply was the parts should have been ordered and delivered back in 2021, adding my parts should not have been affected by their computer problems.
    Now April had nearly passed, so I called both ********* and Camping World home offices, trying to find out what the problem was. I was told that the parts were not ordered until sometime in April! Needless to say, I was not happy with Camper World. Now, here it is, September, and still no parts. I wasted a year on insurance and the nearly new batteries for my camper's solar system that have died due to no preventive maintenance. I went to the shop and was told they had to order a replacement wheel well. They should have checked my camper for all the damage back in 2021. I called Camper World's corporate office since ********* had shipped the parts minus the replacement wheel well. Here it is, October of 2022. I had been very patient and polite throughout this nightmare. I have never received such horrible service, and I feel like they have taken advantage of my kind nature. Nobody should have to go through being treated like I was a fool. Please help.

    ******* ****:

    His unit was in the shop October of last year. They opened a ticket in February of this year ( they are not allowed to do this no more. Once on your lot, a ticket now gets open) once parts arrived. When they got into the job, they found more issues. At that point, they wrote a supplement, got it covered by insurance and ordered the parts through *********. It took a long time to get the part the customer needed to complete the insurance work. As soon as it came in, the issues were resolved and customer got his unit back. Camping World Corp. compensated Mr. **** for time out of service because his unit had been here for almost a year.
