    Status:
    Answered
    We were in the market for a used RV. We saw one listed as "For Sale" both on RVTrader.com and the Holman RV website. I called to inquire about this specific RV. I then actually spoke to the salesman who had just taken this RV in on trade for a new unit. Was told the trade-in had not even arrived on the dealer lot yet and we had arrangements made with the salesman who worked the trade, and was assured we would be Facetimed as soon as the RV arrived. And I specifically told him we would put a deposit on it to hold it prior to that, and would buy the unit as long as it was even in fair condition. But we were a cash buyer, and were told that they had no way of placing any sort of hold or reserving any unit that had not arrived at the dealership, no matter what. We had already arranged to drive 7 hrs to pick up the RV this weekend. We were called today and informed that the RV in fact showed up a day early, the trade-in was made, and the RV was already sold to another person by another salesman and out from under us. And we were told this was all because the other deal included their buyer securing financing. And apparently a "financed" deal and a buyer filling out a credit app is allowed to reserve campers that aren't on the lot and hold one, and jumps all other people who may have already committed to the RV or were rightfully ahead of them in the queue for any given camper that were cash buyers. A very shady and dishonest way of doing business, and definitely a bad look and terrible experience from a buyer ready and willing to pay cash...and who was told they had the first queue position on a specific camper verbally. If you need financing, then by all means they'll likely take care of you since it nets them more revenue. If you are a cash buyer that is ready to purchase, the things we were told turned out not to be true and the unit was sold out from under us.

    BUYER BEWARE! They don't care about your safety!After going through posted reviews here, its obvious they aren't concerned about anything but glowing reviews since they never respond to any that aren't. Having said that I will make sure to get the attn of as many people as possible by also publishing this review on the BBB site and ****. I bought the camper around the first of Nov 2023. I waited this long to make sure I had everything covered on the problems.Before I could pick up my camper, they had to do a safety check and check working order of everything else. Don't think they have any idea what that actually involves and not even convinced they did it despite asking for a third day to do it, in the service managers words, "I want to check it over good without being rushed."When I went to pick it up, the propane regulator was leaking and reeked of propane. Since the tanks were empty when I looked at the camper, I wasn't able to check working order of anything. Once I got back home and started checking things, found the fridge not working on propane. Had to make another trip back there, (90 miles) which they did fix and informed me they performed a propane system pressure test which told me they hadn't done that before I picked it up the first time as they would have found the leaking regulator. The propane tanks were both outdated and needed recertified before filling. Obviously, the dealer wasn't concerned about this detail when their team filled them at the dealership. Last I knew there was a law keeping dealers from filling outdated tanks.Bad relief valve in the hot water heater. The weld on the right rear spring hanger to frame weld was broke which could be dangerous and cause an accident. The propane tank holder had small heads that were almost to pull through which could have allowed the propane tanks to fall off the front while traveling which would be a disaster and dangerous. These people are obviously not concerned about anyone's safety!
