earlvillestu Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, all lawyers lie and all RV dealers and salespeople are totally honest. Or one would assume so from some of the comments above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan0043 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 How about dealerships wanting to charge you $500 to prep your new trailer for delivery. Is that a new scam or something that goes on all the time ?

What you need to compare is the total that is paid for the RV at each location. Every dealer has expenses in each RV sold and they do pay the employees who work on preparing them but all I have bought from just built those expenses into the price of the RV. I would look at it very carefully. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

RV_ Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I do not buy new RVs or cars because of the dealer scams and games. One of the great things that made Tesla a must buy was that they sell direct, no dealer middleman. They don't need the crazy maintenance of ICE vehicles. There's only one moving engine part in a Battery Electric Vehicle or BEV. I buy cars and RVs usually just a couple years old and with low miles/use and the bugs already worked out. I detest new car dealers, and RV dealers. I have no problem with them making a living or a profit. I do have a buddy I help with his computers and he gets me wholesale deals on any vehicles I want from his used car and motorcycle and RV lot. I bought several from him and the last two and my truck were deals he offered to buy if I did not when I told him about them. But my favorite is to find an owner selling cheap because he or she would like to give the dealer trade in price to me.

Alice Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Having watched the video, and yes, being a lawyer, my response to the "mandatory dealer inspection" would be to insist that if I am paying a penny for an inspection, that they will give me an inspection certification that verifies that they have personally inspected the RV at their dealership, outlining everything they inspected, verifying that it is in proper working order, and guaranteeing that they will repair free of charge any defects found in those systems within a specified period of time, or they will take it back and issue a full refund if the defects cannot be repaired. Bet they back down. Alice... Weekender with a F-150 and Rockwood 2503S - until this happens: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling you that I do not believe that ever happened. I have been in the RV community since 1971 and have heard of plenty of dealerships offering to do the inspection for a customer for a price, but not 1 time have I heard of what he claims is getting to be common. I would like to see the video guy document where and when it happened, as I'm betting that the entire thing is fiction. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

But, if it ever did happen, you'd be a fool to pay for it, however "mandatory" it is, without some kind of contract outlining what you get out of the inspection. Having watched a couple more of this guy's videos, he does seem to be rather anti-RV. On a similar topic, HOW do you even find an RV inspector? I tried the locator on the NRVIA website and there's like 2 in all of Missouri! I bet they'd charge a pretty penny to travel to my area, should I buy my RV close to home. Alice...

If you are considering a motorized RV you should probably have it checked by a mechanic and possibly have an oil sample analyzed. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

RV fan Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 We recently had an experience at a dealer where they will not operate or demonstrate any item on the rig until it is paid for in full.
