I bought a used motorhome it appeared to be in good shape other than a few minor repairs that were required by the seller to complete the sale. I got it from a huge chain store business thinking they might be better to deal with than a individual. It took them nearly ten months to do those repairs plus the new damages that kept occurring in the sellers possession. I finally drove it home and could tell that it had some suspension issues so I took it to another shop and was told it had all four shocks and mounts broken off the chassis. With this being said I am still very excited thinking of the enjoyment my wife the dog and I will have once I get this thing put together properly. When it comes to buying your first used class A motorhome it might be worth the investment to have someone else take a good look at it.

You quessed correctly. I would never recommend the store location I dealt with to anyone. I managed to find the previous owner of the coach so I could ask some questions. He told me he had accidentally left a few things in it and would like to get them if it was OK with me. I told him that it was fine. He went back to CW and found that they stolen his property. The Service Manager admitted to me that they had some drug addicted employees that had been stealing all kinds of things. The problem I had was with Management or lack of and both past and present employees. I really think you must have to be a professional liar to work at that place. I better stop because my story goes on and on with them. I am looking for more enjoyable times. Thanks for the welcome!

Don,
Thank You for the warm welcome. Looking to making lots of new friends. My initial bad experience really aggravated my wife and I but as I explained to her when things start at the bottom there is nowhere to go but UP!
