Attending the Camping World Camper Show in Minneapolis; - kars
Attending the Camping World Camper Show in Minneapolis; we found a camper we wanted. After signing paperwork, we were told the printer wasn’t working, and we couldn't get a copy until the following week.
The advertised price was $26,999, but things quickly went downhill.
Working with Brent and Zach from the Monticello, MN Camping World location, we were informed that we owed over $20,000. This was incorrect since we had a $10,000 trade-in and $4,000 down payment. $26,999 - $10,000-$4,000 = $12,999 + tax.
Arriving for the walk-through, the price became $33,499. We did not agree to this cost as correct. I had taken pictures at the show, for proof. Brett didn’t seem to have answers and continued to look for our paperwork from the show…then, it mysteriously surfaced. After Brett’s much shuffling of the paperwork, he added in a service agreement for $3,600, which was originally included; but not anymore.
To make matters worse, we were misled about the loan term being 60 months, but it turned out to be 17 years! The numbers also didn’t add up; and further reviewing the paperwork, we realized the taxes were based on the incorrect amount of $33,499.
After reporting this mess in more detail to the Camping World headquarters; the original loan was scrapped and we were allowed to go through our own bank, without the extra unknown “fluff.”
BUYER BEWARE, efforts are made to finagle you to sign over to Camping World a POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Overall, a stressful and frustrating experience with misleading prices and terms. We do not recommend Camping World.
Camping World has a “F” rating on BBB and have several negative reviews on TikTok.
