| - Attention, they actually try to scam you.
I was an absolute beginner last March when I bought my first motorhom ever - a used one from a private seller. I tried to do it the save way and drove with the motorhome to Camping World to let them check some thdo a pre-buying check. It came out that they told me all the brakes are really in bad condition and should be replaced immediately or I will have a bad accident. They wanted to install new brake pads and new rotors, making it a 1300$ bill. I returned to the seller, he was confused, said the breaks should be fine. We had a little bit of an argument and did not stay friends in the end, he went down with the price a few hundred $, feeling bad at me, and I felt I paid too much. Anyway I decided not to do the repair at Camping World, because they are so slow there doing their work, I decided to do it later, eventually when the brakes start to make some noise. Was driving for 3 months, nothing happened. Was driving 10.000 Miles, nothing, brakes are fine. 8 Months later I finally thought myself that these breaks might be at their end now. I made an appointment at a small brake shop (P&O brakes in Las Vegas) - he had a quick look and said: Well your breaks are still fine, the are not even half used. Maybe one pad on the back is thinner, but still no problem.
So - what on earth was the Camping World staff talking about 8 months ago? Why do they lie to their first time customers?
I really would never go there to do a repair. I know, many people go, their service lane is always full. These people have too much money to spend. Small business are much better, you talk to reliable people, you get a better price, you do not have to talk to a lady at the front desk which does not have any clue about where your motorhome is at the moment and if it will take another 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days. I remember that only calculating the price of the brake repair took them 1 hour. What a waste of time.
