2024 Keystone Cougar 1/2 Ton 25MLE
2024 Heritage Glen 26BHHL
2024 Forest River Campsite Reserve 25MW
2024 Dutchmen Eddie Bauer 33RL
2024 Crossroads Sunset Trail Superlite 253RB, 256RK, 309RK
Heartland Mallard M33BR, 285RK
Keystone Cougar 29RKS (5th Wheel)
I love shopping with you guys, so funny but yet informitive.
I have heard a lot of bad stories about camping world. But i do like their big selection. Great video!
OLIVER TRAVEL TRAILER !! Hands down The Best!
Camping World installed a a/c unit on my Class A motorhome that I bought from them. When I got home the fan was hitting something so I called them up. First thing they said was you hit a tree branch on the way home this was before they ever even looked at it. So I got up there myself and found that they way overtightened the bolts that hold the a/c unit in place. Yup never went back to CW for service every again. The rumors were right
Noooo, Camping World has one of the worst service complaints in the country. You know about dealer service problems with your motor home, Camping World is in the same league. Good luck.
I like Jayco as well. I've never heard anything positive about Camping World. Enjoyed your video!
"Angie step". This coming from the guy who fell through a hole in the floor...that he just said was dangerous ! 😂😂😂😂
I would never buy anything from them, the 2 times I did were both painful and overly expensive.
Another fun day shopping.
mike and ang loves to entertain us with there travels all the best cheers, hope your leg gets better mike ? be strong dont give up
Also when looking at Cougars, there are different levels of quality. Look at the ones with the dark front end.
Honestly you don't need a RV pull along or 5th wheel ,just go to holiday resorts that allow dog's,have real showers,real beds ,real everything.
Lots of RV people are recomending buying a used one that all the issues have been gone over and solved. You guys might want to get a used one, pre 2018 the youtubers are saying. Also if you are dead set on getting a new one, have it inspected. Love your guys show. Good luck.
Camping World is owned by Marcus Lemonis. He also owns Good Sam and became famous on the TV show The Profit. I wouldn't like to do business with his businesses.
Those aren’t leveling jacks, they will not level your trailer on an uneven surface. They are stabilizing jacks which will only make the trailer feel a little more stable while you walk around on the inside. And stay away from Camping World!
There are a couple models with leveling jacks. You can also purchase them from Lippert for about 4k.
The first two numbers on the model by the entry door, in this case (309RK), the trailer will be around 30 feet.
Stay away from the cable type slides. My wife and I have had 2 Flagstaffs and 1 Rockwood, They are the same except for decor. They roll down the same line together. We have the Rockwood 2906. So far all of theses units have been great. Give them a look.
Camping world will screw you over they have no warranty you waive that when you buy it. Read the paperwork really well with a lawyer
Love your videos, you guys crack me up 😂
The flat front end is worse on gas mileage. You want the beveled front in. Look at Cougar 5th wheel trailers with the outdoor kitchen.
Ouch would not do business with Camping World .. unless you’re looking for bottom-line and never plan to take your rig back to any of their dealers.. lol .. Cougars are awesome yet what stopped us from purchasing was the floor vents and Cable Slides… I was looking at their 22mle. We purchased the Grand Design 22mle. Our compromise was the King Bed option and some other stuff; hope you feel better; knee issues suck …
Avoid purchasing any RV either built or sold by a public shareholder company. Always buy and get service from family owned companies...More expensive up front but less
disappointments in the future. Owner of multiple RV's and large boats.
at some point you have to accept that %99 of rv/camping trailers are made with cheap material and low quality and if you still want one buy the one with the least amount of cheap bad quality materials.
It is bad that you have to pick the least cheaply built one when buying an RV!
Anything built on an assembly line with glue and staples driven by production will never be worth the cost. The markup is like 300%
I know you already purchased a trailer, but I would encourage shoppers to NOT buy at Camping World. We bought our Forest River Ozark from them 3 years ago, and it has had so many problems- which is not the dealer's fault- but the service has been abysmal. I honestly believe the "techs" there have little training and no common sense. We had frequent "trailer brake disconnect"s from the first year, and they made numerous attempts to repair, even blaming my truck at one point. This year I got under the trailer and found the brake wires being crushed between the axle and frame. Cut back the damaged wires, re-routed and butt-spliced. Next time I took it in I told them and asked them to water-proof the connection, and they just wrapped electrical tape on them. I asked them to install a latch on the drawer to keep it from sliding out during travel, and they drove the wood screws through the drawer face, so the points were sticking out. Just two examples. And... the service managers and techs are always changing- must be no incentive to stay there.
Stay away from Camping World!!
I think jayco brands are good. I was in the same shoes as you on finding a good quality class c and i went with jayco
For really solid build quality I would take a hard look at the Rockwood (by Forest River) line up.
We have looked at them but the hitch weight is too heavy for our truck.
You should look at some Grand Design trailers I was looking at Jayco and decided that Grand Design was built a little better. Good luck!!!!
Winnebago isn't too fond of us and the feeling is mutual!
If you decide to trade trucks I would advise you to go to a 3/4 ton. Gas or diesel . Much more stable and relaxing to tow with. Also you don't need a sway bar or load leveler. I have a F250 Ford with a 7.3 gas. Gets the job done.
Hey Mike good luck on that MCL injury. That really sucks.
You guys should look at the Ozark 2630RBK its a couples travel trailer. One of things I did not like was the sofa so I would replace that!
Thanks! We will check it out.
I owned a 2021 Jayco. Good RV but weak point is the Schwintek slide system The motors are mounted inside the wall If the slide hangs up for any reason it will rip the wall open. Ask me how l know!!
We had one on our Tiffin and yes, they are finnicky. We had to insure the slide ran all the way in and out and also run the slide a few times to get them properly aligned. We never had one fail though.
What about a Brinkley Z2900 it's right at 31ft. Quality is awesome and beats anything you guys have looked at by a mile!!
Our truck can only tow 10,500 and hitch weight can't be over 900, otherwise it would be something to consider.
I'm not surprised how flimsy and crappy things are. I was surprised at the $37k price, I guess that price and the need for light weight goes a long way to explain the quality.
Stay Away, Far Far Away.
Bumper to bumper warranty does not mean that literally. Make them show you the clauses that have “exclusions” in them. They will usually avoid roof and floor repairs
The metal in the jayco over the tires is cosmetic only…. It’s thin sheet metal that would do nothing if you had a blow out. Don’t let that one thing steer you to or against that trailer.
We never looked at it in person - just heard about it on a video. We will check it out and report.
@@irritatedtravelerit’s better than nothing. Jayco is a step better than the other makers wheel wells.
Camping world in anniston wouldnt even give us the price on a camper unless we went in to “run the numbers”
I figured that is why they only list the prices at 10% off when everyone else is 30-35%.
Run!
Hate those twisty locks.
One word…..
Run!!!
Oh heck no run far away from Camping World!!
Don't buy a camper with a cable slide out. Check out a Brinkley if you are looking for better quality trailer than the big 4 brands
I'm looking for the cheeky comments about Cougars 😜
You think you’re Irritated Now!… Wait until you buy from these Schmeckels! The Worst! Good place to shop, not Buy! Intech or Oliver. Love Airstream but too easy to damage the Aluminum Skin. Hard to Fix. Takes time to fix and is very Expensive!
Hail is the Airstreams Kryptonite.
Great trip to compare. Seems like every unit has flimsy walls, floors , draws etc. I like your home better.
Have you looked at the Flagstaff/ Rockwood
Yes, the Rockwoods are too heavy for our truck.
RUN..... RUN FAR....RUN FAST
Angie making one eye jokes@ 11:57😂😂😂😂. Did you loose your eye in the Army? IED?
Mike had a detached retina a couple years ago and lost much of his vision in one eye.
Camping World is just a retailer. Cougar is made by Keystone. They are crappy, buy Jayco at minimum.
The reason they took your name was to run your credit.....😮
A resounding no!
Get a wind shield for the blackstone and it'll be fine.
We saw those on Amazon and wondered if they really worked.
Don't think I will ever buy a camper with a slide again. What a pile of shit to deal with. These newer campers just fall apart. Look very carefully! Quality really saves in the long run like Oliver design.
Slides aren't too difficult to fix with the right equipment. . . a forklift being that right equipment!
How much for the Eddie Bauer? The one you guys were in.
I think that one was $48k
They need your e-mail for liability ? hahahaa , you mean to flood your inbox w/ advertising , yes ...
Actually, that is exactly what they did!
Bought our trailer ( used ) from Camping World … they’ll do back flips to make the sale, they definitely don’t believe in full disclosure !!! I wouldn’t buy a lawn chair from Camping World !!!!!
Go look at a outdoors rv trailer.
Maybe Alliance Travel Trailers🤔
Stay tuned for our review!
Take a look at brinkley travel trailers
Lance!
Nice but too small.
Make comments about it being too heavy for your Dodge not enough headroom in the bathroom. Trade that dodging for an F350 Dooley. And go look at the fifth wheels.
Oliver or, if your a good handy man, an old airstream
No stay away from Camping World they will promise you everything, take delivery and they forget about you
have you checked out oliver trailers?
Yes, they are awesome but too small for us. If they built something close to 30ft, it would be an easy decision!
Did you sell your other rv?
Yes, last year.
Once a Cougar gets older they will stop fullfilling your needs. Might want to look elsewhere. 😉
I have yet to see a travel trailer that isn't built so goddamn cheap.
Nice your legs better 👍 that means back to diy bathroom remodeling.
No don't buy it from camping world
Buy from camping world you'll be sorry
I used to deliver rv units camping world treated 99.9% of drivers like trash.
It's all about them. They want to sell you a unit and careless if you return
Hall No
It's funny how you agree on everything!
After being together for over 30 years, we kind of developed the same tastes!
Junk ..look at alliance or grand design trailers
I wouldn’t buy anything from camping world!
Do not get anything from camping world!
that place sure has some junky trailers. The Eddie Baur was ok though
Camping world sucks.
No,no, and hell no!!
Don’t wLk, but run from CW! I won’t even buy TP from them. Terrible service, poor sales staff, and after sales service no. Existent. And, I really don’t understand what you two are actually looking for. I cannot see the two of you in some of the rigs you are looking at based on what you want. If you don’t want the bug class A any more why not look at the 35’ Tiffin / Newmars?
Tiffin doesn't service Freightliner so getting repairs done on the engine/chassis is a complete nightmare and extremely expensive. Basically, we want to still travel a bit but we don't want to spend the money it takes to repair and maintain a class A. A travel trailer allows us to do our own repairs at a tenth of the cost and the places we plan on going, we won't be spending much time inside anyway. We just need a comfortable place to shower and sleep.
I understand what you are saying. Fortunately, I have a Freightliner service center 2 miles from me so I can get my Tiffin in there when needed. Pickup and a TT are a lot simpler to deal with than MH's, but I sure like the comfort of the MH! Good luck on your quest.@@irritatedtraveler
Dye your hair red to match your boots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noooo, please go platinum blonde
don't buy from them
Just but a nice big tent
Camping World sucks.
