Forgot to Post About Camping World Experience.....

The same day that we were going to buy paint we decided that we were going to go to camping world in Tallahassee, FL because we needed a new faucet for the bathroom ours in leaking and filling our tank. We are kinda excited because we have never been to a camping world since we have started full-timing;

We drove 30 miles to get to camping world and boy were we DISAPPOINTED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE. It is one of the smaller of the stores this doesn't matter as long as they have what we need. We walked in and the customer service was horrible no one greeted us as we walked by 5 people. Walking up and down the isles and we finally find what we need, I can not believe the price $28 bucks for a plastic faucet that doesn't even have the hose or the shower head for it they are an additional $30 BUCK!!!!! outrageous, we grab it anyway. We remember that we need a piece of pipe to fix on under the camper that we damaged when we had a blow out. Todd went to the Parts counter two guys were sitting there and they did not say a word to him, he spoke first they directed him in back with the parts...ok, het gets back there and the guy was so lazy he rolled his chair down the isle and the whole time he was looking for the part we needed he was stuffing his face!! HOW RUDE as 5 minutes of eating and searching the guy turns to Todd and says we dont have everything you need....but if you go to Lowes you will find what you need he also told Todd "99% of the repairs we do we end up at Lowes to get parts anyway" WOW we are shocked we get to the counter and go to pay for the faucet and it is more expensive then I saw on the sticker, the unfriendly chick informed me "if you were a member of camping world you could get the cheaper price" $25 a year for the membership....HELL NO..... she kept pushing the membership so I decided that we were not going to get the outrageously expensive piece of plastic and walked out. Everyone we encountered were so rude not helpful at all and most of the stuff we saw there we could get a wal-mart cheaper, I am not against paying for something but when your customer service is not good I will not give you my money. I went home on Amazon and got everything we needed better quality and a better price. 

Since we started full-timing this was our first ever trip to a camping world because I hear horror stories about them and of course I lived my own horror story. We will never go back to a camping world for anything.... Well unless it is the only place for 300 miles that I can get what we need......Tallahassee camping world you need to learn how important customer service is....

  1. Hi there, I found you through the FB group RV Blogs. I hate to read you had a bad experience with Camping World. :( We are members but since we don't have one around us it's hard to get our money back in discounts just here and there. We have learned to try and get what we need on Amazon and it has worked out well for us. I guess we stop at them when we can because there is so much RV stuff in one place.
    I look forward to keeping up with you. Safe travels and Happy Camping!
