Do yourself a favor and avoid major headaches. DO NOT SERVICE YOUR RV HERE!!! We purchased a Solitude Grand design in October 2025 and it has been in service more than we have camped. Spent over $136,000. The service department is very unprofessional and doesn't return calls. I have left 5 messages and still no response. I'm tired of chasing them down. Don't do business with this dealership unless you love being frustrated and angry. read more

We needed to sell our Winnebago after using it for six years. No problems, we're just getting older. We worked with Tim selling on consignment. The rig was in good shape, but due to tire age the six tires had to be replaced. They pretty much split the cost, more than fair! Sold in about four weeks. Tim was great through the entire process, highly recommend these guys. Oh, we also met Billy, he was a big help too!! read more

We recently purchased a Newmar Dutch Star 4081 MH and are delighted with our decision to make this purchase through Blue Compass. Dean was exceptional throughout the entire process. His passion, extensive knowledge, and exceptional assistance and friendliness were truly commendable. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. Dean and Antonio provided invaluable support, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. For the pickup, we were fortunate to receive an exceptional walkthrough from Craig. His comprehensive knowledge, precise pacing, and ability to make the process enjoyable were truly impressive. We now feel confident in our ability to contact Dean and Craig with any questions, providing us with immense peace of mind. Antonio in the finance department was also a pleasure to work with. We extend our sincere gratitude to Blue Compass, Dean, Craig, and Antonio for their exceptional service. Brian & Sheryl read more

My husband and I just went to Blue Compass Rv in Santee, CA. and we were met by a wonderful sales person, Bonnie. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful and didn't waste our time! She asked pointed questions about what we were looking for and took us straight to it. If the price range or size wasn't right for us she helped us explore other options. We ended up finding the perfect RV to meet our needs. Bonnie is an avid camper and provided so much useful information that it made the whole buying experience so much easier and fun! We did not feel any pressure to make any decisions right away. It was truly a pleasure to work with all the staff at Blue Compass RV in Santee. The manager Marty was very personable, cracking jokes with us along the way. He made sure we got the absolute best deal possible. (Seriously, we got a great deal!!!) Billy was our finance specialist and made sure we had everything we needed in our agreement to meet our needs. George provided us with our walk through and showed us all of the operating systems of our RV before we left the lot. Overall, we would say that everyone we worked with and met during this process went above and beyond for us. Thank you to all of you that helped make our dreams of owning an RV a reality! Sincerely, 2 Happy Campers Nicole & Shawn read more

This is a continuation of my review from June 6, 2025. All comments from that review and this are related to the San Marcos, CA location. After 4 months of not getting my registration and the temporary tag from California expiring; I had to take matters into my own hands and go to the DMV and register the vehicle myself. This was after I complied with EVERYTHING requested of me to provide information. Granted, Blue Compass sent me a check for the fees I paid in my original purchase. No one could explain to me why their in house service (ATC)(?) could not complete this action as I was told previously. Nonetheless, I brought the check provided by Blue Compass only to find the calculations were off by $1780.64 and that now had to come out of pocket. I am going to reiterate that if Freddy N., is your finance person; run! For the amount of money I paid for my coach, it would have been nice to have it handled with more care and communication. I always believe in being honest; when I had issues with my rig while in Carson City, NV, Jake Kalil was extremely helpful in getting that resolved. But that does not excuse the clown show I have dealt with in terms of trying to get them to respond to concerns. It always took reaching out to Jake before someone would call back. Not exactly a recipe for continued success. read more

Except Joe as manager and Matt as manager of part department the rest of the staff are very careless when I had our RV for repeated issues regarding entry door and break light in back they always say that everything is fixed but unfortunately they don't have good mechanics and they really don't check everything after they are done with my RV For example I picked up our RV like over six months ago and I notice my floor mats are marked with dirty greasy shoes and they didn't car to cover the floor with plastic then I notice my front driver seat are greasy too And they didn't ever cover seats with plastic I have light creamy color leather seats that if they care little bit they could prevent them from getting so dirty I am warning anyone who wants to buy from them don't trust them for fixing your RV because when you have warranty to cover it they are book over 4-6 months then if they fixed it temporarily and you don't know yet once your warranty is over. Then they get you for any little repair, one of my recent disappointment with Blue Compass RV are Very careless and their mechanic are very impolite, we had to drive from Orange County for 1 hour and half to get to their service department in San Marcos after few days , I made sure they have my car ready before driving to San Marcos, I got a ride on Friday to pickup my RV before 10 am so we can leave early to avoid the traffic on Friday, We have paid them and ready to get in to freeway 5 north that I have notice my signal light in back doesn't work and they didn't even care to fixing it, so I had drive back to make sure get it fix for something that was supposed to be fix for repair that they didn't fixed it. Make the story short it is over 2 hours to fix it and we had to drive back with heavy traffic over 2 hours and 40 min I will post a video in YouTube regarding their services so everyone can see how careless are they when you drop off your 190K. RV to them how they give you back your RV read more

Blue Compass RV - they never got leaks fixed during warranty and now the warranty is over they want over $1400 the replace them - RV Dealers Near Me - San Marcos, California

My husband and I bought an RV recently and had a great experience with Craig McCauley. He was knowledgable, friendly, and helped us all the way from our first look to final purchase. We were also very impressed with the mechanic (I wish I could remember his name.). He spent so much time going over everything with a fine tooth comb to make sure it was ready for us. He also was so helpful in explaining how everything worked. We were very impressed wth Blue Compass and highly recommend it! read more

Been trying to schedule warranty repairs for the past couple of days and have left several voice messages . No return call.

We purchased a 2022 Newmar Bay Star from Blue Compass RV. The buying process was great. BEWARE!! However, the Service Department is severely lacking. They are not helpful and expect your RV to be in the shop at least two weeks, most likely longer. They are uncommunicative, not responsive, and have a terrible attitude. Additionally, if you purchase the RV Complete Insurance (which is not cheap, by any means) be sure to ask questions, confirm and re-confirm. This insurance is definitely not worth the money!! It doesn't cover repairs, only replacements. I would definitely recommend being very cautious about purchasing any insurance plan from them. read more

Barry was the most chill salesperson we've ever had. He had a relaxed approach to walking us around the lot looking at fifth wheels. They had the model we were looking for at a great price, and Barry made sure we were properly connected to all of the correct people so that our purchase was amazingly smooth. He worked hard to get the best price, the best interest rate, and the best and fastest delivery. He also responded immediately to our texts when we had additional question. We have no complaints. Just praises. Thanks Barry! read more

From the moment I walked into Blue Compass San Marcos, I could tell it was a great company. I was greeted by Ben, the friendly Sales Manager. Since all of the Sales Assoc were busy, he got me started, then let me peruse the lot myself. Absolutely NO PRESSURE! When I returned with questions regarding a pre-owned travel trailer, Sales Associate, Matt, rose to the challenge. He answeted my questions, and didn't hesitate to ask someone if he needed more info. He was friendly, knowledgable, and a pleasure to work with. After chatting with Ben, they offered a stellar price on the trailer. I returned the next day to seal the deal. That's when I met Antonio from Finance, who also was all smiles and eagerly told me about his first RV. He made the daunting task of financing the trailer simple and easy. The next time I returned they rolled out the VIP carpet, had a sign with our name on it, and beverages on ice to celebrate the big purchase! Jim gave me a tour of travel trailer, which had been cleaned and prepped, with AC and lights ablazin'. He ensured I knew how to operate everything, and was very helpful and friendly. When I noticed a couple of minor details the required attention, he called Danny from the Service dept, who arrived quickly and assured they would be taken care of. Danny also double-checked my hitch set up and recommended something else for improved safety. While I was disappointed I couldn't take my new toy home, I was grateful he was looking out for the safety of my family. I highly revommend the Blue Compass. They even have a propane fill station and service departments all across the country. Whether you are looking to upgrade, or are a first time buyer, they are a dream to work with! read more

The sales people promise you everything under the sun, but do not follow through with any of it after the contracts are signed. I would not pick up my trailer unless everything was fixed or repaired prior to me coming. The service people are a joke and do not help one bit. read more

Its kind of a bummer to make this huge financial decision on a trailer, spend $10k on an extended warranty to be completely ignored. I have sent emails and left voice mails for weeks with literally no response. I have this issue every time I need service. Its awful. read more

Service is bad. They won't call you back. Weeks, months will go by. What is the point of buying a warranty package on an RV if you can never get the service dept to work on your rig? Go somewhere else, this place will only frustrate you. read more

We just bought our first RV and are so happy we did it here. Dean was absolutely incredible -- passionate, beyond knowledgeable, and so helpful and friendly. We may not have ended up buying one if we hadn't met him and had his help through the process! And then for the pickup, we couldn't have asked for a better walkthrough than what Larry gave us -- he knew it all, paced it perfectly, and made the whole thing enjoyable. We feel like we can text Dean and Larry anytime now with questions, which gives us so much peace of mind.Antonio in finance was also a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Blue Compass and especially Dean, Larry, and Antonio! read more

Parts department stinks. Was told to go to Home Depot for a part that most RV'rs know, they dont carry. That's after waiting for some time at an empty counter. If you ring the bell, some ogre-like human will emerge from the backroom to snarl. This was my actual experience. read more

Airstream Travel Trailer owners beware! We thought we found a competent service department for our trailer through blue Compass Airstream service center of San diego. After 2 weeks of no response from the service center and a week of phone calls to Julie the service rep and a call to the service manager did we get a response . When we did hear back it was every excuse you could think of "very busy " "out sick for 5 days" "tech was out with covid". Not until we left a message with Julie that we wanted to pick our trailer up, after being in the service department for a month, did we get answers of what had been done and what they were trying to do. We never got our main concern resolved plus many questions still unanswered. I do not recommend them they are unresponsive, unreliable, misleading and dishonest. read more

My husband, Walter and I recently purchased a small trailer form Blue Compass San Marcos. Roger, our salesperson was wonderful. He was not pushy at all. He answered all our questions and sat patiently as we deliberated whether we could swing the deal or not! Antonio, in financing was also very helpful and kind. Larry guided us through the demo with expertise. So far, it's been a great experience, and we love our Grand Design! On the Airstream side, Sarah is the go-to gal! Also great! Needless to say, we are happy campers! Kim and Walt read more

Excellent Customer Service! Would highly recommend working with Keith Yocky, as he goes above and beyond to assist you with finding the best trailer for your needs! read more

My wife and I bought our Grand Design Reflection in April, 2024 from the Blue Compass in San Marcos, CA. Our salesperson, Natalie, was helpful and friendly without being high pressure. We enjoyed working with her during the buying process. Steve Walsh, the sales manager, whom my wife had met before, was also friendly, upfront, and no pressure. Both Natalie and Steve were also responsive after the sale when we needed warranty service completed. When our trailer ended up in Service for the second time (five months total out of the nine we'd owned it), Natalie and Steve stepped up to help us out. When we were told we could pick up our trailer after it had been sitting for three months getting dirty, we asked Danny if he could have someone clean the outside. He told us they didn't do that. He was short with my wife on the phone and she was not happy with his attitude. My wife called Natalie to complain. Natalie told my wife she would get it taken care of. She did, but unbeknownst to us, Natalie and Steve are the ones who washed the outside of our trailer! Talk about above and beyond. We bought them their favorite coffee drinks in appreciation for their commitment to their customers. For the sales side, we give them an A+++++ The Service department, on the other hand, was uncommunicative while they had our trailer. They had our trailer for two months and I had to call Danny, our service advisor, several times to try and get an estimated time it would be finished. I had to leave messages several times and never received a call back. I finally had to speak to Joe, the service manager, who then lit a fire under Danny to get our trailer finished. However, on our next trip, we discovered that two major issues we were assured were fixed, were in fact not fixed. We had to come up with a temporary solution for the duration of the trip for one of the issues and were forced to use campground resources for the second issue. Hence, the reason for the second two month service repair period. On a positive note, the Service department did have some deep gouges in our fiber glass exterior repaired and repainted, but only after my wife went back and forth with them over who was responsible. Overall, I can recommend buying a trailer from Blue Compass, especially from Steve and his team. However, I cannot recommend having the trailer serviced or repaired there, unless, like us, it's done under warranty and the service center has to be a certified repair center for Grand Design. read more

My husband and I went and looked at an RV. We were seriously considering purchasing the unit. We were asked to leave 1000k fully refundable deposit that would hold the unit for 48 hours. We decided in the 48 hours to hold off and let them know in timely fashion. We were assured the money would be refunded. Not only has it not been refunded but they have stopped returning calls. We ultimately have had to report the charge as fraudulent. read more

I purchased a Grand Design Travel trailer and asked that the Tire Linc TPMS be installed prior to delivery so it would be covered under the warranty. Blue Compass failed to perform this simple task. They handed me the product which I then installed. It failed and the manufacturer required a proof of purchase to honor the warranty. After at least 7 unreturned phone calls over 18 days, my wife finally drove to the store to retrieve the receipt. The after-purchase service is very poor and the parts department showed no concern to care for their customer. Be prepared to be on your own after the purchase. read more

$950 for two 6V Interstate batteries that I subsequently found out could be purchased at multiple locations for $150 each. Yeah, I'd say they ripped us off. Whether they call themselves Holland or Blue Compass, they have a reputation for taking advantage of people. read more

Chad in the parts department was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Talk about first class customer service! Chad answered all our questions, gave us suggestions, found and ordered all the parts we needed. We had called and went to other RV supply stores and were so disappointed with their service and lack of assistance that finding Chad was truly a breathe of fresh air and a reminder that their still are some GREAT customer service rep out there a CHAD is definitely one of the BEST! Thanks again Chad for all your help. We truly appreciate you. And I hope that Blue Compass knows how lucky they are to have such an AMAZING employee on their team!!! read more

Do yourself a favor and read this review. This service department is horrible. They have had our BRAND NEW motorhome for almost one month for repairs that should have taken the quoted time of 2 weeks. Which was pushing it time wise to begin with. So now we are stuck paying for a new RV that we don't have to enjoy. The worst part is we bought the RV there! read more

If you had any doubts about the younger generations worth ethic, manners and integrity then worry no more. At Blue Compass Santee we had the pleasure of purchasing our 5th wheel toy hauler with a great group of young men...Ben, Marin and Billy were the "fantastic three" and together they made our experience one we will never forget. They are knowledgeable, communicative and followed through with every request we had and worked to find solutions to help us have ease with our purchase. I highly recommend reaching out to Benjamin Kasper at Blue Compass Santee if you are looking for any kind of camper or RV. read more

Very impressed with the customer service I received for warranty issues with my 2025 Flagstaff Super Lite travel trailer. I was very surprised to get the fantastic service I did even though we didn't purchase from them. Blue Compass does sell Flagstaff, but at dealers far from my location. Shout out to Rachel and Seth you both were wonderful! Happy to know there is a dealer near my home that I can trust. read more

I had good luck with repairs recently and recommend Karen as great to work with. Service although couldn't get in right away, was done very well and offed additional help when I picked it up. read more

I don't know about the sales department but I can tell you the service department is terrible. I scheduled a simple factory recall service and a brake/bearing check months prior to taking my RV in. What I found out is that what you are actually doing is scheduling a parking spot on their lot. A week went by and I finally called - no response. I kept calling and it wasn't until I threatened to come in and pick up my rig that I got a return call. After that they were real sweet and told me they were "a little busy". When I finally was able to pick up my RV, another guy was in there service office yelling at the service writer for not returning phone calls. If you can get the work done somewhere else, I recommend doing so. read more

We worked with Julie Borja and Hector in the Service department at Blue Compass They were so helpful in troubleshooting and making recommendations for our airstream. It feels good that we have an airstream dealer nearby that we can trust. We will definitely bring our airstream back for future needs. read more

There are no words to effectively describe how disappointing the service is at Holland / Blue Compass RV (do not be fooled by a new name, it's the same awful service). If only Holland / Blue Compass RV could do the actual work their customers pay for and expect, half as well as they make excuses, it would be an improvement. If you make an error in judgement and take your RV here for service, my advice is, once you realize your mistake, you are best off to pay them, so you can get your RV back before they mess it up even worse! This is likely their plan to stay in business. Without going into too much detail, this company and their staff can disappoint you, and make excuses, about a task that is as simple as filling a propane tank, and it goes on from there. Please, please, please, follow this warning. Do not give "this" business "your" business. Holland / Blue Compass RV, may seem ok at first but ultimately they could not possibly care less about their customers. read more
