Florida dealer recommendations

I will be going to Orlando for business in early June. Was thinking of going a day or two early to do some RV "shopping". I plan on hitting Lazy Days in Tampa. Are there other dealers that may have a large inventory of used Class A DP's? Someone mentioned Independence RV in Orlando.

I am looking for dealer recommendations basically along I-4 between Tampa and Daytona Beach.

Thanks

I believe there are 4 major dealers between Tampa and Orlando on I4 with Lazy Days being the largest.

You need to check out General RV in Tampa as well. The largest family owned Rv dealer in the country.

LazyDays, General RV, Tampa RV and Camping World are all within a few miles of each other. Our first trip was to LazyDays and it was almost overkill for our first time out.

I can tell you where NOT to go...Camping World on I-4 in Dover. Floor it as you go past there and don't even look in their direction.

Alliance RV just off I-75 between Ocala and Tampa in Wildwood has a lot of diesel pushers and they are really customer oriented. They have a huge repair facility also

I recommend you steer clear of LaMesa. Our experience with post-purchase support has been awful.

We just purchased a motorhome from them so I am curious as to your bad experience there? We ordered a 2018 Miramar that we haven't taken possession of yet.

I would consider this dealer too. Although I've never bought an RV from them I have used their service and parts department. I bought from Independence and LazyDays, I liked them both.
