Virgil is full of information and encouragement. I'll be back soon for more information and a test drive. Thank you so much for your kindness Virgil

Just don't buy here. Sales and Parts department are all dirty salesman. You can read other reviews for more specifics. They lie to get out of everything! I wish I read other online reviews before doing our business here!! You know it's bad when staff will provide a QR code to Yelp and Google to leave your bad reviews! It looks like corporate could care less based on the high employee turn over. Very sad! Not what it once was!

Been here a few times through the years of living in Kern County. The last visit was just window shopping. I can't remember the salesman's name, he was nice and didn't pressure us like some do. Prices for RV's are very high right now and we were told that they are in high demand due to Covid. This is definitely not the time to buy. Camping world has everything you can imagine for your camping needs. This month they are having Black Friday everyday. You will find new, used and clearance RV's, financing available. I love looking at all the kitchen gadgets when I go in. I saw this awesome S'mores caddy that I would love to get. You can purchase items in the store or on the website.

The buying process of our Jayco Feather Micro was awesome we were tended to and the sales guy was super friendly. He was easy to deal with and we had found the trailer for us after looking at a few others. Great we bought it and set up our camp ready introduction and again were taken care of. Man why do people rag on Camping world they're nice and friendly. First trip out we have water leaking into the dining area after running the water pump and figured out where it was coming from so towels would do the trick so my wife could take a shower. Great just what we wanted kind of put a damper on our trip after all it was our first outing so we expected some things to come up. Per sales guy these trailers are built fast and come with some issues that can get taken care of through service. Not what someone spending their money on a trailer wants to hear. Not to mention the microwave was never mounted and it almost slid out on our way up the hill. Had it not been for it getting wedged in the opening we would have found it broken on the floor. No big deal right just brand new stuff scratched up to be told by the service manager that it's not covered and it's just aesthetics doesn't affect the functionality of the unit. Yeah , meanwhile I just bought this trailer and paying the payments but a scratch shouldn't bother me. . Just what people want to hear. So now to the leak it was just some loose fitting that never got tightened which I had suspected but didn't feel like I should be wrenching on a new trailer for them to say I did something wrong or used the wrong tool and they wouldn't cover it. So we pick up the trailer great service manager says we found where it was leaking and we took care of it good to go. Here we go 4th of July camping. Get to the site all situated and whatnot wife has to shower that evening and water pump gets turned on so far, so good until..... where's that water coming from? Now in the opposite direction water is going into front storage compartment WTF? We just picked it up from having a leak fixed. After the trip immediately call as soon as I get back to service setup to drop it off. Get a call Saturday 7/22 it's ready to be picked up. Great what's the diagnosis on the leak oh our technician stated it was right where you said on the backside of the fitting they had fixed before. There was a fitting close to that one that didn't allow the proper tightening of the other fitting (what in the actual f*** b/s excuse is that)? Great I'm glad your people don't double check their work. So ok take the trailer home back it in all that good stuff. Happy trailer is back when's our next trip? Go open it up glass shards everywhere all over the floor and counter look up to see the face of the microwave is no longer there. Great could it be the possibility of those scratches left from when it got banged around from not being properly secured? According to service it happens quite a bit from the forklift moving the trailer around in the shop I must have dumb*ss tattooed on my forehead. Anyhow that's my rant and I don't recommend you buying your trailer here unless your going somewhere else to get it serviced and warranty work done

I wasn't sure where else to post this, but this toilet paper has clogged our RV up for 3 days. It does not dissolve. The worst stuff ever.

See all

Awful. Quick facts: - 1) As a sale inventive, they agreed to provide an awning with the purchase of our RV. They installed a non-standard one that did not even cover the door way. OK, I'll take the hit - I guess it was MY fault for assuming that since 99.9% of every RV's awing covers the door, that is what we would get. - 2) I special ordered and *paid* for a very specific inverter to be installed. I called several time and verified that the inverter had arrived and would be there when we made the 3 hour drive to get to Bakersfield. Upon arrival, we were given a bunch a blank stares and finger pointing, ultimately arriving upon the fact that they did not have the inverter! (On the positive side of Camping World "Losing" [I suspect that they sold it so another client], we were able to find another RV service center - not Camping World - that ordered the inverter and installed it in a few days, for a lot less $$$ that the Camping World quote). - 3) Called several times inquiring about a free annual RV check-up that we were told came with the RV purchase. We were informed that the Service Manager would call us back. Still waiting for that call. - I honestly do not see how they manage to stay in business. We will be purchasing a new RV in a few years - but not from any Camp World. read more

First when we bought our travel trailer, it was an all day event for financing and preparing the trailer to go off the lot (8 AM to 6 PM). Once we had the trailer, of course we enjoyed it, but had minor things that were wrong. Since we lived a distance from Bakersfield, we figure we'll make a trip there later and have all the things fixed at once. Well, we had a tongue jack that malfunctioned causing both front scissor jacks to become damaged. Since we purchased the so called bumper to bumper extended insurance, we felt pretty good about getting it fixed and making a trip to Bakersfield. When we called to make an appointment, they told us that it was not covered under the insurance, but they could fix it. Very disappointed since I thought they were the #1 from what I heard. Never again purchase anything from Camping World and going to have to track down my friends who suggested them. read more

This review is in regards to the RV collision repair center at Camping World. I had them repair damage to my 2012 fifth wheel. Don was great to work with and gave us outstanding customer service. He gave us accurate estimates on price and time of completion. He was true to his word. The workmanship was top notch better then new. My coach looked better than I expected. I highly recommend their collision repair service. Thanks to Don and his crew. read more

I had a slide service done and wanted to have someone show and explain what that was on the RV. I was told they were to busy to spare someone. While waiting in the parking lot for my RV to be brought out, I realized I was forgotten about and had to re request it. I won't come back read more

This is a old review I guess I forgot to give. I had sum trouble with a part I bought. Long story short, I asked for help fixing a problem that a cured after using said part. I got the worst Sevice and run around for a few weeks. Talked to 2 different managers one who I thought was the boss but litter I would find out he was not. In the end after calling the corporate office for a month, I finally got a call back from the true head manager. Nice guy and bummer to meet the way we did. In the end he gave us a gift card and all is better now. The silly part is it all could have been fixed with just a sorry and a point in the right direction. It was over the whole ordeal that we later felt more upset at the situation. Like I said the gm is a nice guy and maybe any other time things would have been different. But this is how things went for us. Best of luck RVers have fun and be safe on the road. read more

My husband and I bought our new trailer from Camping World. The sales person was extremely patient when we couldn't make our minds up on which trailer we wanted. We must have looked at three dozen trailers and fifth wheels, and he was still smiling after all this time. We had a good experience also with the floor people in the store when we bought supplies with the coupon we had received. The store has a lot of merchandise to make your camping experience comfortable and fun. The only problem was that they advised us to get the wrong size wheel covers which we had to return. read more

We love Marcus Lemonis and really hoped for a great experience at Camping World. No one at the cash register to check us out. A salesman walked right by us without a word or a glance. Asked another salesman to find a clerk. He called on the loud speaker and FINALLY someone came. No apology for the wait. All it takes is a smile and someone to say "we'll be right with you". Customer service is everything. Marcus knows this. If only he could implement this service at the line level. read more

I have been here inBakersfield for 3 days, trying to get somebody to get a satellite dish put on a travel trailer. I contacted camping world the first day and was told 'I'll call you right back" still have not heard from them , I called twice today and still no return call. I think they are blowing me off, hoping that I will go away. Well they will win, cause I am leaving Monday. I wanted a dish installed on the roof, a new commode, and possibly a new mattress, around $2,000.00 worth of work, but I guess they are not interested! Neither are two local on site repair companies! read more

The guy who sold me the toy hauler was cool. Worked with me on the price of the trailer. Get the trailer out for its first trip and the fridge stopped working. Well because my trailer was a 2006 and we were in 2015 they would not sell me an extended warranty. So I call my salesman and he tried to help me and so I began to research. Well come to find out there was a recall on the fridge that was In my trailer. So I call camping work and ask them to fix the recalled part. Well they told me that for 1500 dollars I could get it all fixed. I asked the lady if she could work with me and she had the nerve to tell me "well young man it cost a lot of money to own a trailer". Well I responded thanks Mom for the advice. So I went online found a cooling unit and did it myself for 500 bucks. I gave them two stars for the sales side and 0 for the service side. I will not recommend this place for service but take it at your own risk to purchase from here. read more

We purchased a used trailer 13 of May 2011. Guess we had sucker tattooed across our heads! Promised so many comps but they ended up included in the total price! Still waiting for tags, 2 months later. Called their DMV person and was told that it takes a while to CLEAR TITLE and make payoffs from to the original owner. I thought they had to have Title in order to sell the thing in the first place. Their appraisal was high and it listed items the trailer didn't even have. They said they did it that way so we could qualify for the loan. (got loan from our credit union with excellent credit!) The only good thing I can say is their service man was helpful ! Won't be buying anything from Camping World again! Learn from our mistake and save yourself some money! read more

Do not take your rv here for service. My living room slide would not go out I took it to camping world because I purchased the trailer there and I was told the slide motor was bad and needed to be replaced. I denied the repairs picked the trailer up. come to find out the bell housing needed to be adjusted. My husband made that adjustment and the slide works just fine. Nice try camping world! This is the second time I took the trailer to camping world for the same problem. The first time my trailer was still under warranty they made the adjustment and the slide worked fine one time after they "fixed" it the first time. The second time they told me to bring it in and if it was the same problem as the first it would be fixed at no cost to me because my warranty had expired by then. Of course they called me a week later and said motor needed to be replaced it would be $800. I asked why they didn't replace it the first time when it was in there under warranty and I was told because adjusting it fixed the problem..apparently it didn't! I will be filing a fraud complaint against them. read more

One of the worst experiences ever. I called to see if they had a vent cover for my trailer. I was put on hold and then hung up on. Called back and spoke to someone. Asked them if they had what I was looking for in a certain color and was told yes but to take a picture of my actual piece I was replacing to make we get the correct one. I thought great idea. I did and drove 9 miles to only stand in line , well behind one guy at the counter to ask for the part. The guy says I will be with you in a moment. I thought ok. During this time (10 min) at least two workers were standing behind me discussing cooking recipes lol. Nothing like customer service, but wait there is more. Finally after another guy walks through 3 or 4 times before he ask if I needed something. Duh!! I told him, then he says well you need to go over here to the camping world part. I said ok. The lady he took me to was extremely rude. She said well you need pictures of what you have. I said I have them and showed her and the guy. She then says no, you need pics of the actual hinge very rudely. I said excuse me. Here are the pics. She still was not satisfied . Hell I just want to buy something. Really? I had to actually blow up the pics and point out the hinge and she was frustrated. She finally takes me over to the product which they did not have the color that I had orig asked for but ok. I found the one that's was the same just different color. She was not convinced that I actually knew what I needed. I said I'll just take it. I finally was able to buy the one item like 30 min later. Bad enough experience with buying the trailer there yet to put up with this garbage. They need to get someone in there to evaluate that team for sure. I would think twice before ever shopping there again. By the way this happened in Bakersfield Ca on 11/8/17 at about 1:30pm if someone would like to check on their staff. You will lose business if you don't get this figured out and corrected. read more

I've been meaning to write a post. So I bought a used trailer about a year ago. I talked with joe who was nice and friendly. Answered a lot of our questions. That's all that was good. They were suppose to do a safety inspection and was told that all tires replaced if older than 5 years. No inspection was done. Tires older than 5 years. Carbon monoxide sensor says replace after 60 months on front. Sensor is 9 years old. Emergency break cable missing. A must have. Sink wasn't repaired upon pick up. They didn't fix outside speakers. They mailed them to me. I had to install them. After first rain my trailer has huge leak. Luckily went straight into tub. Also they sold me a hitch and the fifth wheel had an adapter that was not compatible with the new one I just bought. Luckily that was an easy fix. Some of this stuff was written in contract that they were suppose to fix. I don't like writing reviews but I had to write this one. read more

I took my Jayco trailer in for collision repair and 2 months later it was finally repaired and returned to me. When I took the trailer in for repairs all outside decals were in good condition..no curling or cracking. But when I picked it up several of the the decals were curling and cracking. Even though the pictures taken by the insurance company at the time I dropped the trailer showed all decals to be in good condition. When I asked that those decals that had cracked and curled while the trailer was in their possession be replaced they refused. I even asked the general sales manager, Kelly Lopes that if he had brought the trailer in wouldn't he expect to get it back in the same condition as when he brought in. He refused to answer the question knowing full well he would have to answer yes. It is my contention that a pressure washer was used to wash my trailer and the pressure of the washer caused the damage to the decals. They admitted to using a pressure washer but still would not replace the decals they had damaged while the trailer was in their possession. Throughout the repair process customer service was lacking even though I had bought the trailer from Camping World less than a year earlier. I am through doing business with Camping World and will gladly share my negative experience with others. read more
