"we left our 2018 rig with nirvc and worked with them to order, with several options and specials, our new 2022. … they sold our rv in several weeks and we were very happy with the process and the results.", "the consignment process at nirvc-las vegas couldn't have been easier. we dropped off the coach and were finished with paperwork in less than an hour. the entire team was professional and courteous.", "we consigned our class c with nirvc at the time of our purchase of our new new aire. they had it sold within a week. we could not be more impressed with the service we received.", "when the time came to sell our motorhome last month, nirvc had all the paperwork ready to sign when we came in and the check was in our hands within a couple of days.", rv consignment, frequently asked questions, why should i consign my rv with nirvc, what types of rvs do you accept for consignment, why don't you take rvs over 10 years old, why will you take my rv on trade but not on consignment, how long does it take to complete the sale, how will i receive my money upon sale, what paperwork is needed to complete the process, my title is in my husband's name and mine. my husband passed away. what will you need, my rv is titled in a limited liability corporation. what will you need, my title is in a trust. what will you need, what if my rv has a broken windshield or other damage, we love the couch (or recliner, or tv, etc.) in our rv and would like to remove it before we consign with you. is that ok, what if i have lost my title.

Consigning your RV is a great way to get the best of both worlds - you can "sell by owner" but with the added dealer services buyers are looking: trade-ins, financing and warranties. Plus, it's likely you'll receive a higher price for your RV as NIRVC takes care of the marketing, showing, cleaning and paperwork to eliminate these hassles for you. Our vast dealer-network gives you options. Working with these high-quality dealerships facilitates simplicity in your transaction - at a price you'll be pleased with. Additionally, working with NIRVC allows sellers and buyers alike to qualify for tax credits, while buyers can also receive more attractive financing.

We typically accept model year 2014 and newer gas and diesel Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes. If your RV doesn't fit into one of these categories, still feel free to contact us and we'll try our very best to accommodate.

There are several reasons for this. Bank financing gets complicated on coaches over 10 years old. This makes the loan more expensive and less attractive to buyers. Models that are older than 10 years begin to encounter problems in a few key areas. Finding replacement parts becomes difficult, given the advancements in technology. Extended service plans are no longer relevant or at minimum, difficult to secure, and even manufacturer schematics are difficult to acquire, making it tough to work on. This affects the financing as well, making it more expensive to a prospective buyer. At NIRVC, our goal is to provide top-level service experience for both buyer and seller.

Generally speaking, there are fewer restrictions on trade-ins than consignment. We have a wholesale network that provides additional avenues for sales, thereby offering a wider total audience. NIRVC handling your trade is generally tax advantageous to you in most jurisdictions that only tax the net trade value of your purchase.

While there is no way to accurately predict buyer's interest in your RV, we do our best to market your RV and move it as quickly as possible.

We can pay with a cashiers' check or wire transfer to your bank.

We will provide all the needed paperwork including a complete set of copies for your own records. We will need a copy of your drivers' license and your spouse's drivers' license (if applicable). If your RV title has a lien on it, we will need all your loan information.

We would just need a copy of the death certificate.

If your RV is titled in an LLC or company name, we will need a copy of your articles of organization to verify you can sign for the entity. We will also need a copy of your drivers' license.

We will need a copy of your trust stating that you are the trustee. We will also need a copy of your drivers' license.

We can handle most repairs ourselves and deal directly with your insurance company, if you would prefer. Please save yourself from having any issues during the consignment process by being upfront about any damage your RV has.

We would prefer all original equipment stay with the RV, but if you insist on taking something out, please let us know and we will adjust the price accordingly.

We can help you apply for a duplicate title, but we cannot consign your RV until you have received the duplicate title.

RV Consignment: A Definitive Guide for RV Owners

This post may contain affiliate links. See our affiliate disclaimer here.

If you are interested in selling your travel trailer or motorhome, but not interested in dealing with potential buyers, RV consignment is a great option. In the article we share everything you need to know about RV consignment, including how it works, the pros and cons and alternative ways to sell an RV.

What is RV Consignment?

RV consignment is simply hiring a third-party to sell your travel trailer or motorhome. In exchange for a portion of the sale, the consignment company (usually an RV dealership) handles all aspects of the sale. The owner of the RV maintains their ownership and rights to the RV until the sale is completed.

Many RV dealerships offer consignment services to sellers. The seller hands over the RV to the dealership. Then, the dealership uses their resources to market and sell the vehicle. At the time of the sale, the dealership earns a commission for their services. The commission is typically a percentage of the sale, agreed upon before the dealership take custody of the RV. If the RV is not sold during the agreed upon consignment period, the owner may choose to take their RV back.

Pros and Cons of RV Consignment

RV consignment is a good option for many people selling their RV. However, consignment is not the right choice for all RV sellers. Review the pros and cons of RV consignment to determine if RV consignment is right for you.

Pros of RV Consignment

Advertising and promotion.

When you consign your RV through a dealership, they will use their marketing channels to advertise your RV to potential customers. Because dealerships already have marketing budgets and strategies, they are more effective at reaching a large pool of potential buyers than any individual seller could be.

Since the RV will be parked at the dealership during consignment, it will also be viewed by hundreds or thousands of people who are actively shopping for an RV. Someone looking for a new RV, could see your rig and decide to buy used instead.

Safety and Peace of Mind

Many RV sellers are uncomfortable with the idea of having potential buyers come to their home. When you consign an RV, you can take it to the dealer’s lot so you never have to have strangers come to your home. The dealership will also handle accepting the buyer’s payment, so there is no risk of being scammed by a buyer writing a bad check. With RV consignment, you never even have to speak to a potential buyer.

Financing Options for Buyers

When selling your RV on your own, you are limited to potential buyers who have cash on hand for the purchase. Buyers who need loans will have a more difficult time purchasing an RV that is “for sale by owner.” However, dealerships are able to offer financing on consigned RVs, greatly increasing the pool of potential buyers. Dealerships can also accept trade-ins from current RV owners who are looking for a new travel trailer or motorhome.

Hassle-Free Process for the Owner

If you hire the right dealership to consign your RV, they should handle all the work of the selling process. After signing a few papers, you should not have to do anything else until your RV is sold and you collect the check. The dealership will handle any needed repairs, advertising, answering questions from potential buyers and paperwork for liens and the RV’s title transfer.

Cons of RV Consignment

Commission and fees.

The biggest drawback to consigning an RV is sharing the profit with a dealership. Most RV consignment dealerships are paid by commission, keeping a set percentage of the sale price. However, some other consignment services may charge monthly fees. Always do your research on typical commission rates and fees in your area before consigning your RV. Also consider the value of the dealership’s services when evaluating the fairness of commission rates.

Lack of Control

The flip-side of a hassle-free sales process is that you also lack control in how the RV is promoted and sold. Ask lots of questions and thoroughly understand a dealership’s consignment process before signing a contract. It is your responsibility to ensure the consignment dealership will work hard to sell your RV for the highest price.

Insurance Coverage Limitations

Most RV insurance policies have clauses that exclude coverage while the RV is being consigned. If your RV is stolen from the dealership, damaged by weather or in an accident during a test drive, your insurance may deny your claim. Consigned RVs are also rarely covered by the dealership’s insurance. Therefore, purchasing special insurance or an add-on to your current insurance may be necessary to protect your RV during consignment. Call your insurance company to review options before consigning your RV.

No Access to RV for Camping

When you sell an RV on your own, you can continue to go on camping trips until the day the RV is sold. When you consign an RV, you lose the right to use the RV during the consignment period.

How to Consign an RV

Now that you understand what RV consignment is, it’s time to learn how to cosign your RV. Follow the below steps to select the best consignment dealership and earn the most profit.

Where to Consign your RV

The most common place to consign your RV is with an RV dealership. Both national chains, such as Camping World , and local dealerships offer consignment services.

To find all of your RV consignment options in your area, simply call or email all of the local dealerships and inquire if they have a consignment program. Ask each of the consignment dealerships, the below questions and evaluate their answers to select the best business to sell your RV.

Questions to Ask Before Consigning your RV

Here are all the important questions to ask a dealership before signing a consignment contract.

What is your commission rate or structure?

All consignment dealers will take a commission on the sale of your RV, but the way the commission is calculated varies. While some dealerships use a flat rate, others charge a different commission rate based on the type of RV you are selling. Collect commission rates from several dealerships in your area to understand what a fair rate is for your RV type and location.

Do you charge any additional fees?

While the commission is usually the largest cost of consigning an RV, some dealerships may charge other fees. Potential fees include a monthly fee for storing your RV on the lot or service-specific fees, such as a cleaning charge. Ask for a full list of all potential fees, and confirm if fees are standard or if they can be avoided (i.e. can you avoid a cleaning fee by cleaning the RV yourself). When comparing dealerships, add the fees to the expected commission to determine who offers the best value.

How will your promote my RV to potential buyers?

Consigning your RV allows you to leave marketing to the professionals, but you need to ensure the dealership has professional advertising resources. A good consignment dealer should be able to provide a clear outline of all the ways they will market your RV to potential buyers. Professional marketing strategies will include online and offline advertising as well as showing your RV to customers who walk onto the lot.

What is the consignment contract period?

When you consign an RV, you retain ownership rights during the consignment process. However, dealerships may require RV owners to sign a contract giving them the exclusive rights to sell the RV for a specified period of time. These contracts protect the dealership from losing the money they spend marketing and housing your RV. However, you should not agree to a contract that is longer than a few months. A one to three month consignment period is typical.

Do you offer free appraisals?

Every RV consignment dealership should offer a free appraisals. The appraisal will allow the RV dealer to set expectations on the sale price of your RV before your sign a contract. Before taking your RV in for an appraisal, do you own research on the value of your used RV, so you understand what is a reasonable sale price. Use our RV depreciation calculator for a rough value estimate based on the RV’s age, and read our complete guide to determining used RV values . Do not consign your RV with a dealer if they do not offer a free appraisal before drawing up the contract.

Will you cover damage that occurs while the RV is in your possession?

As we noted in the previous section, many RV insurance policies do not cover RVs being sold on consignment. Therefore, it is important to understand what damage the dealership will cover while the RV is in their possession. Specifically ask what the dealership will cover in instances of theft, weather damage, test drive damage and other scenarios. Make sure all scenarios are covered either by your insurance policy or the consignment dealership.

Review the Consignment Agreement

After reviewing different dealerships’ consignment offerings, select the dealer that you believe will be most effective at maximizing your profit and selling your RV quickly. However, do not ever fully trust an RV consignment service before reading the agreement.

Carefully review the consignment agreement or contract and confirm that all terms discussed in your Q&A are correct. Validate that commission rates, fees, services provided, the consignment period and damage coverage all match what was verbally agreed to during previous discussions.

• Alternatives to RV Consignment

RV consignment is an effective way to sell your RV, but it is not the only way to sell your RV. If you are unsure if RV consignment is right for you, consider these other methods for selling a travel trailer, motorhome or camper.

If you are looking to buy a new RV, in addition to selling your current one, trade-in may be the easiest option. Many dealerships offer a trade-in credit, where the trade-in value of your current RV is deducted from the price of the new RV you purchase.

Trade-in is a simple process. Just bring your current RV to the dealership where you intend to purchase your next RV. They will appraise your RV and offer you a trade-in price, which can be used towards your next RV purchase. The offer and negotiation can typically be completed in the same day, so you can sell and purchase RVs very quickly.

While trade-in is quicker than consignment, the purchase price for your RV may be lower. Most dealerships offer a trade-in credit that is 10 to 20% less than the actual value of your RV. Having a clear understanding of your RV’s value is important to ensure your getting a good deal on a trade-in. Trade-ins do have one clear financial advantage. The sales tax on your new RV is calculated based the gross price paid, meaning your trade-in credit is not taxed.

Sell your RV to Dealership

In addition to consignment services, many RV dealerships will also buy your RV outright. Instead of consigning the RV, dealerships will offer you a flat sum and take over ownership of the RV while they are trying to sell it.

Selling an RV to a dealership is a great option for RV owners who need cash quickly and do not have the option of waiting months to sell their RV. Many dealerships will buy your RV on the same day after conducting an appraisal and inspection. There are no fees, insurance concerns or other headaches that are part of the commission process. The dealership will also help you complete all the required paperwork.

However, your profit from a direct sale to a dealership will most likely be lower than a commission sale. Since the dealership is taking on more risk (they are stuck with your RV if it does not sell), they will likely offer less money. When consigning your RV, the dealership is trying to sell it for the highest price to maximize their commission.

Sell your Own RV

The final option for selling your RV is to do it yourself. Many people list their RVs as “for sale by owner” and handle to entire process on their own. RV owners are able to market their RVs to potential buyers through online marketplaces, such as RV Trader, classified ads, social media, word of mouth and old-fashioned “for sale” signs.

Whether or not selling your RV without assistance leads to maximum profit depends on your marketing and sales ability. However, RVers with strong sales skills may be able to earn more from their RV sale since their costs will be minimal. Selling your RV yourself also means you can use the RV while you sell it, and avoid purchasing special consignment insurance.

Selling an RV without the help of a dealership does highly increase the potential of encountering scammers. Vehicle and RV sellers are often targets of scams involving bad checks. Always be prudent and only accept verified forms of payment when selling anything directly to a buyer. Sellers will also have to allow buyers to come to their home or storage lot to inspect the RV before purchasing.

Rent your RV

If the only motivation for selling your RV is financial, consider renting your RV on a peer-to-peer marketplace instead of selling it. Renting your RV allows you to cover the costs of your loan, insurance, maintenance and other costs while still having access to your RV part of the year.

RVs typically rent for between $800 to $2500 per week, depending on their size, age, type and location. Drivable RVs rent for more per night than travel trailers and fifth wheels, and Class A RVs fetch the highest rates. See our detailed analysis of RV rental costs for more information on typical earnings.

Outdoorsy and RVezy are both peer-to-peer marketplace that allow owners to rent their RVs in the United States and Canada. Read our detailed comparison , for more help selecting the right place to list you r RV for rent.

How Does RV Consignment Really Work?

Sharing is caring!

Thanks for your support! If you make a purchase using our links in this article, we may make a commission. And, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. See the full disclosure here .

Do you know how RV consignment works? It’s a popular way to sell your RV, but navigating the process can be troublesome.

RV ownership can be a lot of work no matter your experience level. There’s a lot of maintenance you need to do, and it can get quite expensive.

As a result, there may come a day when you no longer want to own your RV. Instead, you would rather sell your RV and get some return on your investment.

However, you might not know how to approach the sale. After all, you probably are not a salesman, so you aren’t equipped with the skills you need to make as much money as possible. Therefore, you may turn to RV consignment dealers as a way to get top dollar for your coach.

RV consignment is taken advantage of by many RV owners of all experience levels. It’s a great method to make as much money as possible.

It also means that you don’t need to spend as much trying to make the sale. Instead, someone else will do all the work for you. So, you can sit back, relax, and make your money.

Getting rid of your RV is a big decision to make. You probably have owned this RV for years, so selling it will not come easy. However, if you believe it’s the right decision to make, you shouldn’t hesitate. You could have many reasons to sell your RV.

What Is RV Consignment?

If you’ve heard of the consignment of other items, RV consignment isn’t any different. It’s when you turn over your RV to another party to sell while you retain ownership. The person you give custody of your RV will handle the phones, appointments, and financing.

Then once the sale has been made, the person you hired will take a commission or percentage of the sale as payment. So, you won’t get 100% of the sale, but if you hire the right person, you’ll profit more than you would if you did the job yourself.

How Does RV Consignment Work?

When people choose to use RV consignment as a way to sell their RV, they could have several reasons. They chose not to go through the trouble of selling the RV themselves or they might not be confident they could do a good job.

Alternatively, they could live in a rural area where they would have a hard time finding customers. So, turning over their RV to a consignment dealer that has better foot traffic and marketing resources means that more people will see the RV. As a result, there’s a better chance that the coach gets a good offer.

Typically, when you hand over your RV to a dealer, they’ll start with a one to three-month consignment period. This is the amount of time they expect it will take to sell your RV. So, if you need to sell your RV immediately, this is not the selling method for you. However, if you are okay with waiting a few months, you should be perfectly fine with this method.

Once your RV is in the consignment dealer’s custody, they’ll get to work advertising and showing your vehicle to potential buyers. They’ll deal with all the needed day-to-day issues and only contact you when they have offers for your motorhome or travel trailer to see if you’re interested. Once the RV is sold, you’ll have the money transferred to you with a percentage taken out as a commission.

How Much Does RV Consignment Cost?

A big question many people have is how much does RV consignment cost? After all, since the dealer takes a percentage of the profit, there’s a worry that the expense isn’t worth it.

Some RV owners would prefer to sell their RV themselves and make all the money they can. That’s a totally valid way of selling your RV if you are willing to put in the time and costs associated with selling by owner.

However, you probably don’t have the resources of a dealership, so you’ll probably be unable to sell your RV for as much money as a dealership could.

RV consignment costs can be difficult to calculate as there are several factors that influence their rate. It obviously varies based on the dealership and how they structure their consignment fees. Before you can get a price for consignment, you need to figure out what’s the fair market price for your RV. You can get a suggested listing price from NADA Guides .

Typically, there are two ways consignment fees can work. The first is that you’ll pay a flat percentage of the sale price between 10 and 15%. Alternatively, you and the dealer will agree on a target sale price and the dealer will collect the extra as commission.

So, let’s say that you agree to list your RV for $85,000, but it sells for $92,000. In the first scenario, the dealer gets $9,200, and in the second they get $7,000. So, in this scenario, the second option is better for you. Yet, the consignment dealer may have a set payment schedule that they use.

Do You Need RV Consignment Insurance

Motorhomes and travel trailers will need RV consignment insurance while they sit in this state of limbo. Legally, you still own the RV, not the consignment dealer.

During a test drive with a potential buyer, the consignment dealer’s commercial insurance carrier covers your RV. When car dealers take you out for a test drive in one of their new or used cars, their commercial insurance policy covers the vehicle the same way.

But when your coach is sitting on the consignment lot waiting for a buyer, that’s when RV consignment insurance is needed. Most traditional RV insurance carriers don’t cover your RV when they’re with a consignment dealer.

Speak with your consignment dealer for recommendations on RV consignment insurance and how to proceed forward in the process.

Are There Other Fees When Selling an RV on Consignment?

If you don’t want to do anything else to your RV, there are no other fees. However, there are things you can spend money on to up the price of your RV. Many dealerships offer services such as detailing and tune-ups.

These services will obviously cost you money but getting them done could result in your RV being sold for more money. A lot of the time you can make more money back on the sale than you spent on the tune-ups.

Advantages of Selling an RV on Consignment

So, you have gotten this far and are probably running what the reasons are to sell your RV on consignment. The biggest reason to utilize RV consignment is to avoid the hassle of dealing with advertising, handling inquiries, and showing your RV yourself. Not needing to deal with all these things is worth losing a small percentage of the money on the sale for many people.

Additionally, although you will lose a little bit of money on the sale, there is a good chance you sell it for more on consignment than you would otherwise. This is because a dealership can get more exposure for your RV than you would ever be able to. You will also be able to consider buyers who need financing since the dealer can manage that aspect of the sale.

Finally, dealers are motivated to sell your RV as quickly as possible. Even if you are committed to doing that yourself, you will not be able to do it as fast as a dealer. They have more resources than you and can sell it quicker and for more money than you will be able to.

Disadvantages of Selling an RV on Consignment

Although all the advantages above may seem appealing, consignment is not free of drawbacks. The biggest downside to selling your RV on consignment is that you need to pay a commission fee.

So, there’s a chance that you end up with less money in your pocket than you would if you sold it yourself. You will also probably need to get RV consignment insurance, that’s a little more money down the drain.

Furthermore, you’ll need to pay for extra services like cleaning and prep fees. There’s also a chance that you’ll lose a lot of money on the RV consignment sale if you aren’t savvy.

Additionally, while you are under contract, you are not allowed to sell your RV anywhere else. As a result, if you get a better offer elsewhere, there is nothing you can do to accept it. You will need to direct the buyer to the dealership if you want to get their business.

Finally, you cannot use your RV while it’s consigned. So, if you want to take your RV out for one last time before it’s sold, you don’t have the ability to do that. It will stay in the dealership until it sells or your contract expires.

Is Consignment the Best Way to Sell an RV?

There’s no best way to sell your RV. However, RV consignment is certainly one of the best options available to you. It’s an especially good option if you’re not an experienced salesperson and you don’t have many resources available. If this is the case, you’ll probably be able to get a better deal using consignment than you would selling your RV yourself.

The best way to figure out if you should use RV consignment is to figure out whether you can make back the money you’ll spend on fees from a better sale. Although, you’ll probably make more money on a sale while your RV is on consignment than you would if you sold it yourself.

However, you also need to spend money on RV consignment insurance, the dealer’s commission, and other fees. So, you need to calculate how much all those fees are going to cost. Once you have that number, you can figure out how much more money you expect to make on the sale while the RV is consigned.

If you think you are going to make more money than you lose from fees, there’s no reason not to use RV consignment. However, if you’re not going to make all that money back, you need to assess whether the time you gain from not needing to do the selling yourself is worth that amount of money.

That’s a decision you need to make yourself, and one that will be different for everyone. For some people, it will be worth it, but for others, they’d rather make as much money as possible, and that’s okay. Whichever you choose is the decision that’s best for you.

Make as Much Money as You Can by Selling Your RV on Consignment

After reading, we hope you’ve all the information you need regarding RV consignment. We know there’s a lot of information to absorb, but this is a complicated subject and there’s a lot for you to learn. Everything that you learned should help you make the decision of whether to use RV consignment or not.

RV consignment is something that’s taken advantage of by many RV owners. Most RV owners are not interested in spending a lot of time selling their RV themselves. As a result, RV consignment is a good alternative where they make plenty of money without breaking a sweat.

However, with all the commission and insurance fees, there’s a chance you’ll not end up with as much money in your pocket as you would if you sold it yourself. You need to figure out if that extra money is worth the headache of selling your RV yourself.

We wish we could tell you whether RV consignment was the best option for you. Unfortunately, everyone has different preferences and financial situations, and for us to assume we knew yours would be irresponsible.

However, if you do choose to go down that path, make sure that you take your time picking the right dealership. You want to make sure that you’re picking the best RV dealer possible so that you can make as much money as you can.

Over and above service on my rv. Super polite and efficient service manager, Tony. Every area of this place is clean and shiney. The technician was spot on and knew the problem exactly and quickly got the job done. I can't recommend this place high enough. Just perfect! All my rv friends will soon know and drive the distance to grass valley to demartini rv! Thank you so much.

My wife and I have been looking for our RV for a few years... We went to numerous dealerships. Our experience at a number of dealerships around the Central Valley and Northern California were less than pleasurable to say it nicely. We were strung along by a number of "National Dealerships." They executed a bait and switch campaign on us like i'd never seen before. Our entire RV shopping experience changed as soon as I contacted Nate from DeMartini RV. He was straight forward, professional, trustworthy, and went above and beyond for us. Everything he said and offered from day one was done... and then some! Tony in the Service Department was also exceptional. I have a pretty tight schedule and he has worked with me to get us in and fix the few little warranty items that needed fixing. Tony even worked with our local ford dealership to get Thor Motorcoach to cover some warranty items at the dealership so that we didn't have to take our coach to another shop! Simply amazing and unheard of... I give my unreserved recommendation to DeMartini RV and their wonderful team! If you're thinking of purchasing or servicing your existing RV at DeMartini.... Trust me. You're in good hands!

Jack Weir was very helpful and went over and above when fielding questions about our trailer purchase. He was always accomodating with his time, and we would highly recommend trusting Jack with a trailer purchase! He was the best salesperson we encountered, and we talked with many. Ron and Candy C.

Terrible service department that doesn't answer emails or phone calls. Will never purchase from them again.

Unprofessional. I called twice and emailed too, reporting that water heater was leaking all over, no one answered the phone either time, no call back, no email reply.

I first read some of the other reviews. OMG do I feel empathy. To the person that found the part cheaper on Amazon: When your RV breaks, let me know how it goes when you drive it to Amazon. We live in a world of spoiled people. I dealt with 3 other RV dealers (of which Manteca Trailers blew my socks off as to how bad they were). DeMartini took my RV on consignment. Gave me exactly the amount of money they promised, even though it took much longer to sell. John DeMartini: Thank you for your integrity.

bought from them. never again. we took rig back several times for issues and it took several weeks. plus we made an appt for class a and they never looked at it in a timely manner like 6 weeks or more. tv never worked properly. very frustrated. demartini doesn't care.

Great RVs and great service! We've purchased our Thor Chateau this past summer and Demartini has been great at teaching us the ropes. We added on the extended warranty package, Tony and his service team have been so helpful to take care of all our requests and squeeze us in last minute to check on our coach. They have a great selection of vehicles new and used. We definitely recommend using Demartini, you won't be disappointed!!

Harassment ensued when I went to return a RV product I purchased at DeMartini. I purchased a line for my grill to run the propane from my RV to the grill. I paid $75. I looked the same product up once I got home & found the same line hose online for $25, next day delivery, you know from where. With receipt and unopened, unused product in hand I walked in to DeMartini to return the product. The cashier was rude and initially refused to return the product even though it was within their own return policy. When I persisted and pointed out I had everything they required including an unused, unopened product, he finally relented and completed the return and I received my money back. I would not recommend going here to purchase anything for your RV. You're better off shopping online, you'll certainly receive better customer service from your own computer.

I am looking to buy a used travel trailer. I went in to De Martini yesterday with my 5 year old granddaughter after checking their inventory online. I am on break so I wanted to save my husband some time. The woman told me that most of their preowned trailers were sold except two that were " very expensive " I asked her what she meant and she told me the price. Totally in my budget. I sorry my car is 4 years old and I don't look like I'm from out of town. I'm just a hard working local trying to shop local but after feeling so humiliated I will be taking my hard earned money elsewhere! So much for shopping local.
