My neighbor at the RV Storage Lot, purchased his from them and had only good things to say. I have purchased several items from their parts store with very good response and service.

Last year I stopped there while visiting the factory and I was impressed. I spoke with Ron, himself and I had good feelings about the place. We received a very good price from them when we bought our Journey, but I got a little better price from our nearest dealer (Arlington RV Supercenter, RI). It's much better to make the 100 mile trip than the 1400 mile one for repairs & warrenty work. I would have no problem buying from them.

I personally have not purchased from them but a close friend did and he has been very pleased. I have personally purchased parts with excellent results. Very customer driven. I would buy parts again and my friend would purchase a MH from them again. Good luck

Hi,
I purchased our 2004 Winnebago Adventurer from them and was very happy with them and their service department, in fact to this day I buy parts from them whenever I need to.

The best part was that the motorhome I purchased only had 32 miles on it and i was able to break it in on the way home. They even arranged financing and everything. In fact they would allow you to park there with hookups to make the swap over.

There were a few minor problems after delivery and they took care of anything on the spot.

Lichtsinn motors is a very fine company to do business with and I recommend them highly. Say hello to Ron Sr. for me.

Thanks for the replies.. I was contacted by a salesperson this afternoon about my inquiry of a couple of the used motorhomes they are offering.

I am waiting to see what hey have to offer my on trade in for my current trailer and pickup. For now they will stay listed on craigslist.

I've not bought a MH from them, but have bought many parts and their customer service is top notch!! If sales and service is anything like their parts department you couldn't go wrong.

Good Luck!

I bought a brand new View from them and the transaction was perfect. I have since traded it for a new Journey but found that locally on teh dealer's lot and he needed to move it.

Wife and I bought from them in Sept. It was a long distance deal since we live in AK. We drove our '08 down and finalized everything, and came back in the new coach.

We were able to view the new coach online, over and over. Not as good as touching and feeling, but it worked. And by the way, they had the coach!

Everyone was very nice, and went out of their way to have us happy. We toured the factory and stayed overnight at the factory lot one night and at the dealer's lot a couple more. They found us a better interest rate than was readily available, and at the very last minute, found an even better one.

I thought we got a pretty good deal. Was it the absolute best, you never really know that do you...

The only down side for us was that it was far away and we were under a time constraint (still working).

I thought they treated us fairly.

Dan

They are a great dealership. We bought our 09VA new from them and they kept their word on all points without hassle. We are out west but still email their service department with questions and they promptly respond. You can trust them.

We have purchased 2 motor homes at Lichtsinns. A new 2000 Brave back in 2000 that we traded this year for a new 2010 Adventurerer 32H. I recommend them. Honest, fair, good people. They have top notch service and parts depatments as well.

Got my 2008 Tour from them. I did everything by email. Ron himself was the sales person. We seen the RV at a show and a few months later purchased it.


I email service all the time with questions and they get back to me the same day. Ron reminds me of any other used car salesman. Remember only one mile from the factory. I am so sick of hearing that phrase.

Thanks again for the replies.. They did get back to me today with some pricing on my trades. They were competitive. I need to do the math and see if driving over 2000 + miles would be worth it to save $2-3K
