Camping World Exposed on The RV Show USA
Camping World Exposed on The RV Show USA
The Producer of the video “The Truth about Camping World” Kevin Frazer joins Alan Warren in the studio to talk about how some Camping World “sales techniques” have destroyed people’s financial lives, ruined their passion for RVing and will ultimately have a negative effect on the RV Industry. Here’s a link to that video: https://youtu.be/6wrsMU7WMuQ
This is nothing but a infomercial for Cheyenne Camping Center. Kevin how much did you pay for this advertising for your business. The time a business relies on slamming their competion their own business is usually failing miserably. The truth? The truth is that it’s a damn shame this is your business practice. Little old lady story too? Come on man..
I went To Them..They Have a Problem With Blacks …Red Line Action To Stop Blacks Because of Skin Color..Banks An Them Are a. Scam…
Dude there are Snakes all over the Sales World, Auto Industry, Boating, Furniture, Beds, Renovation World, etc. etc. Now one thing you did not touch on 99% of the Snakes and Vipers are in the Swamp of Washington DC they should all be flushed into the Sewer.
We bought our 2019 Montana last year from Camping World in Harrisburg Pa. Everyone was super nice. We had no issues had all. We can’t complain about anything. We even had to take our 5th wheel back for the fireplace. It was take care of.
They had a winnebago advertised on RVT,We had called and I said we were coming to drive it…"Uhhh that one uhhh doesn’t run…So cpl days ago we drove to greenwood loc. UP FRONT tried to get credit app on us,then when I insisted on seeing that RV He took us,around the huge lot and would not take us to any used ones. They had a brand new 1 we liked,So I said we would like to test drive,"UHH WE UHH They will not let you drive unless your buying it,Then take me to my car buddy boy!. You think I came here to waste your and our time moron?, CROOKS!.The used 1s are bait to get you there we saw some used @ back of lot ask about them,"Oh those are customers"
Really1000 feet from service dept??, NOT!!.
Hanover is the same. We spent several hours looking at units and then during the sit down with the finance guy, we were told we couldn’t afford the unit we were looking at. He said he would cut us a deal on a larger unit with 1% power financing. Bottom line was 10,000 dollars higher. Won’t even buy supplies from them any more. Amazon is the way to go.
Camping World piece of shit!
"SCAM-PING WORLD" THANK GOODNESS THERE’S NONE IN CANADA THAT I KNOW OF….!!!! 👍🤘✌🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸👍🤘✌!!!!
Camping world is going down
At some point don’t you just say screw it…,I’m gonna stay in a hotel with a real toilet and a shower I can fit in to and have the free continental breakfast for 75.00 a night.
For all of your idiots that can’t deal with FACTS! and claim that the CEO of camping world said he didn’t want "Trump supporters" business. WRONG! The CEO of Camping World stated, after a violent white supremacist Terrorist, rally in Charlottesville, Virginia “There’s no doubt that there is probably not many consumers in this country today that are in favor of what has been said in the last couple days and if they are, quite frankly, don’t shop at my business,” said Lemonis, who is CEO of Camping World and host of CNBC’s “The Profit. ”, So he doesn’t want Racist Terrorists business, The FACT! that you equal "Trump supporters" to Terrorists that have killed more US citizens then ISIS, The Taliban and Al Qaeda, including dragging a man, James Byrd Jr, to his death behind a truck, Showed up in Charlottesville, Va. in Full NAZI, KKK uniform, called for the "Destruction of the Constitution" and one of them drove a car into a crowd of US citizens, murdering 1 and injuring 19 others, Tells EVERYTHING! about YOU!
Went there to buy the 421ck rapter and pressed my dads credit 20 times he from 700 or what ever to 650
Why am I the only one bringing this up. Better Business bureau claims "Not Registered With The BBB" and almost 900 complaints with only one store :
250 Parkway Drive Suite 270
Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069
This is only one store out of 100’s,, WHY AREN’T THESE PEOPLE CHECKING THIS INFO BEFORE BUYING. I always check, Without these heroes putting up videos I still would have walked away from Camping World doing my own due diligence.
I suddenly don’t feel as much sympathy for these morons that spend 50 grand on something without a BBB search. And even a Private investigator electronic search.
Anyway; why is this proven fact NOT mentioned in these videos, This bbb page backs up Kevin Frazer’s claim, he should be linking to this. Vet this yourselves folks here’s the proof.

It’s only one effen store for god sakes, multiply this by stores owned and Christ !!! You know they are the MOB and have big brother in their pockets.
Wish I knew about this a year ago. Our RV has been in their shop since January to have the siding replaced. The manufacturer cut it too short. We’ve been getting the run around for 5 months!
Video’s gone. 😕
Advice on a RV dealer in the Dallas/fort Worth area? One who, if we buy a warranty will be reputable? This will be our first rv
Imagine being a Full Timer and Camping World keeps your RV for weeks waiting on parts. These stories are all over the internet. I researched for 3 years before I bought my 5th Wheel, which we live in Full Time. I am glad I decide not to even waste my time there.The whole RV industry is built around the idea that your only going to use an RV 10 to 20 days a year so by the time something breaks you could be out of warranty. They are hand made which means you are going to have problems. So response by their Service Dept is real important. Go to a RV shows and go on the last day and look at the condition of the RVs after a weekend of people walking through them you will see closet doors off their hinges, kitchen doors up messed, hand rails hanging down etc.. It will give a good idea how certain manufactures products hold up. If you buy a new RV choose a good dealer that has a highly rated Service Dept, they will be advocates for you back to the manufactures. I decided to buy used a consigned unit through a dealer, all the bugs were worked out and somebody else paid the depreciation. There are good dealers out there. Arrange your own financing! They are just like car dealers they get a cut if you use their banks.
A family member of mine was a salesman there. They cut commission and refused to pay commissions owed.
We were totally taken advantage of by Camping World near Myrtle Beach, SC. Sales guy was sticking "Sold" signs on each camper we considered, he was texting me throughout the day, we were assured we needed the $10,000 worth of extra warranty protection, they pulled each of our credit reports THREE TIMES EACH, we have several different quotes on what we purchased the rv for from $31,000 to almost $52,000 because "banks need to see equity", we have almost hated this RV and are considering taking a huge loss just to get rid of this awful experience!!
By BL – Yes, we heard that when they slimmed into our area. Other sports stores in our area were going to go out of business because of Gander Outdoor.
CEO of CW hates President Trump, and does not want Trump supporters business! So………
Personally, I completely dislike them, they are, in fact, owned by CHINA!
Puleeeeeez
This is old news about anything on wheels.
If you have to finance.
Go to your OWN financing institution.
Watch out for the money-grubbing, power Snakes… the shakers and movers … in every business. Im allergic to snake-breath. The second their mouth opens and that tongue starts licking … my feet start running .. I’m blessed.
well after 2 years camping world called back they ran into my camper on there lot when in for repairs and did not fix the repairs , jacks still dont work , grey will not flow there black line, the stereo speakers will not work bought the trailer new but was hit by fork lift on top and found used parts from Amazon , still had the sticker on it
I’ve been hearing negative reviews about "Cramping World" for over a decade and one would think with as much negativity being spread around, the creeps at "Cramping World" would change their business ethics but, I guess they figure there is a sucker born every minute and will legally rippoff the next guy.
The real rippoffs, crooked dirty dealers are the lawmakers that allow these card sharks at "Cramping World" continue on with these dirty backstabbing business ethics.
Lemonis goes after the greenhorns-eh? Marcus looks for the suckers. Check out what he did to the young lady who had a successful camp-equestrian business. Lemonis a.k.a. CAMPWORLD- did exactly what Kevin Frazer is describing in this video. Don’t be a Lemonis Sucker. Lemonis sniffs them out.
There’s one born every minute & he’ll find you & go for the green. Greedy F**k. There is no need for bad business.
My local Camping World has a new name but is still owned by “CWI, Inc.”
Care to guess what the “CW” stands for?
Because this is what you do when your brand becomes toxic. You change the name and carry on.
So a competitor of CW makes a video saying don’t go to CW? Oh my! Wow…. I’m so shocked. Seems pretty petty pal
Marcus Lemonis refused to remove the American flag when people complained that it was offensive. He has my respect.
I bought from camping World 2 years ago. Yesterday i tried to trade up to a new and more expensive camper only to find out i am $11,000 upside down on my loan. I wish i hab of investigated them before I bought! Everything alan snd kevin talk about is all true! The finance people are horrible people!
They must have removed it. This is the only video on camping world I can find.
The reason you pay so much more for financing is because campers fall under “RECREATIONAL LOAN”, which start the APR rate at 5.99%! You can go to a credit union and just borrow the full amount and pay their rates I suppose, plenty of people do it, but where Camping World gets you is the payment section on the worksheet! As long as I keep them in the payment they like it doesn’t matter if I hit them with the 10 year or the 20 year term, they are just happy that we got them done. There is saved you 24min of BS, now come by a camper from me so I can snap necks, cash checks, and put you in serious debt with no remorse 😂
I’m also finding that I can’t get service from other RV dealers or service centers when they find out that I purchased my RV from Camping World. That’s shameful to treat an RV newbie like that who was already fleeced by Camping World.
I am not a RV owner or even a camper but this is all new to me about camping world and Marcus .
Great public service message. Stay away from Camping World and Gander Mountain (same company) if you don’t want to be ripped off. They are the sleeziest companies around. There are many good RV dealers to go to, so protect yourself and avoid Camping World.
So my question: What if you just buy a travel trailer from Camping World but finance w/your own credit union? No extended warranties, no unethical "set-up/prep" fees, and no camping world financing. Just the bottom basement price for the trailer and nothing else. Would that be a bad idea? We actually are headed to a camping world tomorrow to purchase our first travel trailer, but I am now having second thoughts. Like I said, we will use our own financing and not purchased any extended warranties or protection plans from the. What do you think?
Just wanting to see if anyone can help me. who do I get in contact with to help me cancel a extended warranty I just bought last week with the RV from camping world
By BL – Stay away from Couches RV, especially doing business over the phone or internet. We were told our down payment would be reimbursed – NOT. LOOK over your paper work to sign VERY CAREFULLY !!
The obnoxious, rude, young salesman was terrible.
CAMPING WORLD SCREWED ME NOTHING BUT LIES,LIES,LIES!! They got me for $18,000 in Swedesboro NJ
This guy is the Alex Jones of the RV world. “Did you know that RV salesmen will try to sell you an RV?” “Did you know that RV dealerships make money from financing”
Only buy from my friend never big box sales.
Camping world owns gander outdoors so run from that place too
Thank you so much you really give good insight to the real deal about buying a rv
Marcus Lemonis said he doesn’t want Trump supporters to shop in his stores for him saying there’s good people on both sides, Is he now going to ban Biden supporters for the words Biden said about bussing & being able to work with segregationist ?
I’m a 1st time RV newbie… although I scoured YouTube and watched tons of RV videos, I just wish I could have found this video BEFORE I bought my first RV from Camping World in October 2018. Yes… they fleeced me. 🙁
We bought our first RV from a local RV center, our second at a larger company out-of-state, and our third RV from Camping World. We were informed consumers and had a good experience at each retailer except the out-of-state company I won’t even mention. Every RV has issues that need addressed, and our problems were handled in a reasonable time. Smaller RV businesses can have better or worse customer service, and every service center is working at 110% so it is difficult to get work done in a timely manner anywhere, in our experience. Big Box versus Mom & Pop is not a new story, but this is a great advertisement for one local business. Is there a hotline for a good experience with Camping World? Do your own research no matter what business you walk into and you won’t walk away feeling swindled.
I work for cw as a tech. I will say not every store is the same. While ive worked on motorcycles, semi trucks, concrete boom trucks, and now rvs. Some of the actual camper problems are warranty problems. They give no time to fix things. And then the company wony pay us to fix it either. Thr trailers are fraudulently being built at best. But i do agree they dont pay the people that actually work. Right now i make yhe company between 200 and 240 hours of work a month flat rate… i bring home roughly 2800$… thats 20 to 50k a month i make them and i barely cleared 40k last year. Piece work is an excuse to not pay people. I bought an rv from a mom and pop, they said everything worked it didnt. So i said i can be better than this. And well now im a technician. I have quality and knowledge of someone that makes 30+ an hour. If you start to stick up for yourself and demand more pay they starve you out… i can’t even afford my insurance through them…
Great advice.
Thanks!
Research all rv dealers close to you…..weed out the bad ones…
Camping World is a dealership…Are people freaking out when they go to a car dealership? Cmon. Full disclosure? SMH.
