Reguardless if you're here to purchase an RV, buy parts or get service done on your camper you won't be dissapointed. read more

Just drove off the lot with my new Pop up and have to say I really am happy I purchased from Ketelsen! Andre was our sales guy and did a great job with a soft sell style and got me into the right camper for our needs. All the staff were super friendly and very helpful. They took the time to go through the camper and make sure everything was right. I hope if I need service this trend continues but in the meantime, thank you! read more

TLDR: After a process with the service department Gander did the right thing and resolved my issue in a professional, satisfactory manner. Mistakes happen, and they ultimately made it right. My mother (who is a senior citizen) dropped off her 13' Scamp trailer because the heater intermittently fired and would not keep the trailer warm. She was working with Dennis in the service department and he quoted her $200 to take out the heater unit clean it. She asked if this would fix the problem, she was informed that he didn't know if it would fix the problem, but figured it couldn't hurt. When we received the call that the heater had been fixed I went to pick it up for my mother and got a bill totaling $317.44. When the trailer was brought out I immediately turned the heater on to find out that nothing had been fixed and the heater was functioning exactly at it had been when we dropped it off. After looking over the bill in more detail I realized that we paid for two separate services. One was $75 for a diagnostic (half the shop rate of $150 an hour) with $8 for PPE and $45 for "shop supplies"(see attached photos). The second service was for the cleaning in which we paid $168 for labor to clean the furnace, $8 for gaskets, and again, $15 for "shop supplies". $317.44. When I called Dennis to ask about the bill and see what we should do moving forward, he dismissed my concerns about the bill and informed me that he would call me after the had a correct diagnosis without answering any of my questions. When I went to pick up the camper I thought it best that we part ways given the breakdown in communication. When I addressed these concerns with a manager I received a $58.65 discount and was told that the repetitive billing for the $60 in "shop supplies" was an oversight. After posting this review and emailing the link in the comment below, I was connected with Trisha who help to resolve the situation in a mutually satisfying manner. I appreciate the willingness of the employees to see our side of the situation and to take concrete steps to correct it. read more

While our sales rep was nice enough, they got pushy when we told them the financing they came back with wasn't going to work for us. We're the 3rd buyer that I know of to fall through because of financing, and the unit (which was already $4,500 more than a competitor, for which they had no explanation of why) is now on their website for $3,000 MORE than when we were looking at it just 8 days ago AND they have it marked as "On Clearance" - sounds like a bunch of dishonest crooks to me. Glad we didn't purchase from them. read more

We worked with Alex and had initially planned a trip just to look around as we had never purchased a trailer before. Alex answered all of our questions, never pushed us on budget or timeline, and was super patient when it came to waiting on getting a new truck. Ultimately this is what sold us on buying from Gander over camping world! He stuck it through and helped us all through the process, even getting us answers when financing was finished. George (I believe, not positive!) was a huge help in showing us how to use our new trailer, and was also incredibly patient and thorough. Ricardo walked us through our financing, and we initially purchased the extended warranty, but opted to cancel it. It did take quite a bit of time to finally get canceled, but Ricardo stuck with us through that whole process and got everything taken care of. Overall, everyone we worked with was very patient with us going through this for the first time, and we appreciate all of their help and are loving our new travel trailer! read more

We bought our trailer from Brad Powers in spring of 2016 and had an excellent experience. Brad never pressured us while we were touring the different trailers on the lot. We did give some indications of what we were looking for and he provided suggestions of ones that might fit our criteria. We had initially been looking at Lance but then ended up with the Outdoors RV model which was very similar in quality and amenities but a little cheaper in price. Our price negotiation went well and we were able to work in the generators, weight distribution hitch, and an extra battery into our total cost. The process from Brad into finance was friendly, easy, and smooth. On the day we were scheduled to take it home we had a very thorough walk through of how everything worked in the trailer which was extremely helpful. The guy doing the walk through was willing to answer all of our very detailed questions since we were taking notes as we went through it. We had them do the install of the hitch and that was completed in the time it took to do the walk through. At the end of our first year we brought our trailer back for some very minor warranty repairs. We called and made an appointment to drop it off. They told us that it would likely take few weeks with working with the manufacturer to get parts, etc... Sure enough the work was done within a few weeks and we were able to easily schedule a pick up time for it. Due to Ketelsen service department often being very busy we haven't used them for repairs recently as we've found a mobile RV mechanic who can do warranty work on many of the components of the trailer (fridge, stove, furnace) so that has been more convenient for us. We will definitely go back to Ketelsen when we want to buy again and have recommended them to our friends as a dealer to use. read more

Awful! Don't go to this place. The service stinks. I literally had a "sales rep" talk down to my child who has severe ADHD. She started looking at the faucet and playing with it and he told her to stop. She was not going to break it. If she did, I don't want the damn thing anyways. Furthermore, when she was walking down the stairs he tells her to move out of his way. Constant remarks to the kids the whole time bossing them around. " There is a fountain by my desk but you can't touch it". Are you freaking kidding me?!?! That is NOT how business is done. People have children, get over it. They are rambunctious and bored. It happens. What should not happen is you even attempting to tell them what to do. They are my kids. They weren't even being bad. Seriously people, my kids were looking through the campers and I had a handle on them. When a grown man talks down to a 7 year old child and tells her to "move out of my way" I have had enough. It's cool though. I had a $80,000 budget and 750+ credit score so I am sure someone will put up with children long enough to make a sale. I don't remember his name because I got too pissed but his desk is beside a water fountain so...management if you read this maybe you should do something about his attitude before someone else is not as nice as I was and just walked out. He deserves a good talking to, that's for sure. That 7 year old little girl cried her eyes out when we got in our car. I attached a text message I received after he realized I left. No apology whatsoever. She deserves an apology. I make her apologize when she hurts someone's feelings. Apparently he never learned that lesson. read more

Camping World - Wheat Ridge - Example of the customer service, excuse my French. I was quite mad. Not even an apology for talking down to a child. - RV Dealers Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

I began researching various brands over the winter and early spring and settled on a brand and a floorplan.  Now, I/we had to find one!  I searched RV Trader and other sites and then checked out campingworld.com!  We found one and it had all the options we wanted, except it was in Denver, CO at a Gander RV, and we live in Indiana!  We called out to Gander RV and got connected by phone to a salesman, Jeff McGill.  He hung up and Facetimed us so we could see the prospective camper!  We were in love and put money down after an hour with Jeff.  He set the tone for an amazing experience with your company!  We set out on an amazing road trip we will never forget! The 17-hour road trip from Indiana to Colorado to pick up our dream camper was exhilarating.  From the moment we stepped in the door, everyone greeted us, supported us, and wished us well...what a great family environment!  In the process of solidifying the purchase for our new-to-us, 2020 Lance 2285, we met some amazing people at Gander RV in Denver, CO. Everyone we crossed paths with were customer-first, personable, and wanted us to be happy with our choice!  Our salesman, Jeff McGill, was top-notch! The kindness and professionalism continued with Keith McGill in the finance department, Gil who did our walkthrough, Jamie, our internal advisor, and Don the General Manager!  Gander RV of Denver is a gem!  Jeff, our salesman, called us two weeks later to see how we were doing...we were, of course, camping thanks to the team at Gander RV of Denver! read more

Needed to order a part for my rv from Jayco (you cannot order direct from the company) Had been trying to deal with camping world to get this part without success, no communication from their OEM parts guy. I called gander and was connected to the OEM parts person, Lexi, without any problem. She was able to get my part ordered for me easily. She was great at communicating the status of my order. I will definitely be using gander for future parts needs. Cannot believe that the same person owns gander and camping world. Huge difference in the way these two places do business. My suggestion for everyone that has rv needs is to run as fast as you can away from camping world and head to gander!! read more

After seeing their overall 2-3 star rating, I see I'm not far off here. I'm giving this review 2 stars because the salesman Brad Powers was phenomenal. However the finance dept made us feel like scum because we had less then perfect credit. Had a perfect credit score co signer and still made us feel unimportant. Aaron the finance guy made us feel like our deal wasn't important to them. Not sure if it was because it was a small trailer and not a big sale or what. Called them back to say we would pay cash and they told us they didn't have time to have our camper ready by the date the originally promised us. I've Never been anywhere where a company worked so hard to NOT make a sale. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. Highly disappointed. UPDATE: have had the camper for 1 month now. Enjoying it. Have to make several small repairs myself. But overall it's a good unit. Never once got a call back from sales man to follow up on my purchase. 2 star rating remains. read more

My family and I are ready to buy a new travel trailer. I am off today so I am in shorts tshirt and flip flops. I started at Ketelsen campers and got amazing service from our new friend Brad (awesome). Brad took the time to educate us on what we should look for in a Travel Trailer and was honest and very patient showing us several options many times. I went from thinking I wanted to spend 10-15 K to understnading why I could actually spend more. We told Brad we were going to shop at one more store and he was totally cool about it.......... We had a horrible experience at Trailer Source and came right back to Brad Powers and purchased an amazing new trailer... Brad Rules the RV world!!! read more

I can't say that I had bad service, because I didn't get any service. I need to bring my pop-up camper in for some service so at first I called. I was repeatedly sent back to the service desk where the phone just rings. I was never offered to talk to anyone else, they just kept sending my call back. I then went on their website and filled out their service request form. It's been a week and no one has responded to my request. Moving on to somewhere else. Ketelsen apparently doesn't need the business. read more

Sales department easy to work with but once you're off the lot, you're on your own. Bolts holding door fell off NEW camper on first trip. Called for help and were told to "bring it in" after having told them that we were in Wyoming! Basically said if we couldn't bring it in then they couldn't do anything. No offer to help us figure out how to get the parts, nothing! And then, when we moved to a camp in Yellowstone, the part on the other side of the door broke, too. Clearly, the bolts had not been tightened properly. When we did return and took it in on Monday they let it sit on the lot for a week (after asking us when we needed it and being told "next weekend") before looking at it when we called and insisted. (It took a whole 5 minutes to see what part was needed) and then said they didn't have the part and would let us know when it came iin but that they didn't have any idea when that would be. Throughout, the people on the phone were not only not helpful, but seemed bored or irritated. The good news for us is that we called the manufacturer, Forest River, and got a really helpful person named Carol who figured out the part number, searched for a dealer relatively near us, and overnighted the part so it would arrive before the holiday weekend. We called them back after vowing never to go to Ketelsen again, and she's sending us the 2nd part - which we will either install ourselves or have installed by someone other than Ketelsen! read more

Really disappointed with the level and quality of service I received. Not only did they not fix the issue the first time, but they damage my trailer and in the process and did nothing about it. They finally fixed the issue, and then never called me to tell me it was fixed. Really terrible customer support. I would not recommend this service facility to anyone, and I will never purchase anything from them in the future. read more

Not impressed. I'm sure others have not had as poor of an experience as I, but nevertheless I would steer clear of this place. The short of it ... The camper that I purchased looked great on the showroom floor, but upon receiving my unit, I realize what a piece of junk it is. It has literally fallen apart in the first year (Startcraft 10RT). Getting Ketelsen to stand behind their product has been a joke. Its been one problem and excuse after another. I've been handed off 4 times now with the salesman nowhere to be found in the process. I've been dealing with them for two months now to get it remedied. I live 4 hours away with my second child due to be born literally at any time. I made plans to be in Denver the day it was to be picked up but due to a "scheduling error" it wasn't ready. Wasted 500 miles and 8 hours of driving. All insult to injury. Today they inform me, after I called for status, that it is ready to be picked up. Rather than be somewhat accommodating, they now are saying they charge $20/day for storage for any time after 3 days that the work has been completed! Companies like this that tout customer service should take these opportunities to do things right. Taking strides to convert a disgruntled customer into a loyal one is what customer service is all about. Ketelsen failed miserably. ***AS CONSUMERS WE MUST DEMAND MORE AND NOT CONTINUE TO GIVE OUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO COMPANIES THAT JUST DON'T CARE*** read more

I was there for 5 hours 38 minutes on purchase day trying to get the trailer I bought. Their Finance Department had my paperwork all wrong and had to redo it after a long day. They added $1500 of extra charges I never agreed to nor was told about. I never saw my salesman, he was off work both days I was there. I told them when i bought the trailer to make sure all things had been checked because I am a widow traveling to the desert by myself. When I got to my campsite after 7 hours of driving, all the electric was dead. The service department had cut through my red wire on the new battery but I did not find that until the next day. The glass globe over the dining room table was not tightened correctly so it fell off and shattered into a hundred pieces of glass all over the unit. I asked the GM to call me but no one cares. read more

Have been looking for a rv for a while, looked into Gander RV. And was introduced to Rachel very good energy and knowledgeable about the product! If she didn't know she got the person that did know. She answered questions we asked and showed us very different options. It truly was a pleasure to work with Rachel and low and behold we found the perfect RV! A class A short, had all the options we wanted the wife could see out of it to drive!! I am and the wife are happy with this RV, and would not have happen without the help of Rachel! She went above and beyond to help us! I highly recommend Rachel Cordova to help you find your dream RV!! Gander's RV had a wide selection of RV, great product and customer service!! FYI I maded the wife drive it home and back in to the drive way,she did a great job! This is how I know we found your dream RV!! Thank you again Rachel and the rest of the employees for all your help!! David Epperson read more

Always helpful and friendly service!

The service advisor was rude, unaccommodating and always in a hurry to get you off the phone, if she answered. She was belligerent, and not helpful in any way and talked down to you. I have had the same problem with my Lance camper since day one, and it has been in this facility more times than I have used it. I would not recommend Lance Campers to anyone. It is a Fiat with Cadillac prices and the electrical system must have been installed by Jaguar. Very unreliable POS. Wish I bought an Arctic Fox. I would not recommend this company in any capacity. Sales, service or parts. For the salesman to tell me it takes 5 days to charge a battery is just plain ludicrous. Awful, do not go to this place!!!!!!!! In reading everyone's post, all this place can say is "We are very sorry" Give me a f...... break. read more

Ernst Robinson My wife and I bought a Viking V-Trec 2019 Aug. 16, 2018. Camped in it one time Labor Day weekend 2018 8/31-9/4 to find numbers of issues with this camper. Frankly this camper should of never made it out of the factory in my words. So we dropped it off at Ketelsen's Sept. 4, 2018. As of Mar. 4, 2019 six months Ketelsen still has our camper. Communications are the worst I've encountered, there is none. When we have called generally we would have to leave a message. We would not get any callback. After the sale you seem to be on your own with a bill of sale. As for the Coachmen camper don't buy one. read more

I bought my first 5th Wheel at Ketelsen in 2000, and have been a loyal customer for 18 years. We bought a new 38' Crossroads Cruiser 5th Wheel from Ketelsen in 2016. The 5th Wheel has had one problem after another, and has made many trips in for service. We have only used this 5th Wheel a handful of times in two and a half years. The water pump, fridge, and cabin lights broke this summer, so I called to get the unit in. I was assigned a service rep who could never be reached and did not return multiple messages. I called the service manager and left a message that was never returned. Their service was busy and overpriced over the years, but at least they were reliable. Not any more! I will never go back there. Terrible customer service! read more

Sadly, my experience with service here was about as lackluster as any other RV or automotive dealer. Service adviser rarely answered the phone and when she did, she promised to "check with the shop" and call me back but never did. Never returned voice mail and always had the "my computer" excuse. What's worse they even damaged my jack unit - it's still operable, but functionally not the same. read more

Bought a used popup which had electrical issues.. folks in service found and fixed the problem. No brainer when I decided to upgrade to a Retro. It has been on the road for three years and am loving it. Great service on it as well. read more

EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED PREVIOSLY WITH A SINGLE STAR - THEY CALL OUT OUR EXPERIENCE. Our salesman was very pleasant but after the check was cashed ALL customer service went out the window. Especially the Finance guy he is totally lazy disappearing act - I was not given warranty paperwork and after days of calling and leaving phone messages no response. Every time I tried to get a question answered I was told I would get a call back with the name and phone number of who I needed to speak to. Better make sure you get all you need before you hand them the check because after that - well you might just think you were dealing with Camping World...... oh wait Camping World owns Gander RV. read more

I left a scathing review of Ketelsen approximately one week ago. All I can get is a response from Sam G telling me that if I am still having problems to let him know. Really? You didn't care one bit when it sat there for a month without any attention. Your staff insulted and ridiculed me and you have the nerve to ask if there is anything you can do? How about a complete overhaul of the way you do things, and your staff. The sales manager Andrew Irvine, should have been more sympathetic and less condescending to me. Trying to tell me that I'm not getting the good service, because I did not buy the unit from them. The technician gets paid from the manufacturer regardless. Why should they care. Camping World has let me down repeatedly over the years. Don't recommend them at all. There's a reason it is still called Ketelsen's. Because they want to cover up that it is a camping world. read more

Had a great experience with them! We purchased a Hood River R Pod 190 and the whole buying process was very smooth. I would like to give a shout out to Roger, James, Rick and Scott for helping us with our first RV purchase; professional and courteous to a fault. read more

Excellent customer service! No hard sales. Very east to browse and ask as many questions as necessary without feeling any pressure. Great post sales customer service too! Definitely recommend Gander RV in Denver!! read more

Kim, there service writer is awesome. We had an issue and Kim got us fixed up on time and the reapers were excellent. This was a major shower issue that required warranty work. There was no hassle, just an on time delivery. I would defiantly recommend this store. read more

Have been to so many places trying to figure what is best for us. Today was the FIRST time we got answers and real options. Andre Gates found us, offered to help, answered questions for 2 hours in 98 degrees!!! Clarified so much for us & showed us serious considerations we hadn't even known about. He was funny, patient, and so informative. No hassle, no push, the best "sales" person we've ever met! Thank you! read more

I emailed with photos to StevenV at Ketlesen per his request in August and have heard nothing back. This is the same information I provided months ago to Kim B In the service department. She at least said she would review it with her boss before I heard nothing further. Ketlesen seems to have not only problems with their service but also responding to complaints. read more

I took my trailer in for service although I did not purchase it from Ketelsen. I had a problem while my trailer was there and after some discussion they resolved it to my satisfaction. Margaret was my contact there and I want to complement her for her efforts to help to resolve my issue as well as get the work done. I also want to acknowledge Keven in the service department for the extra time he took to give me much needed advice on my trailer. He is extremely knowledgeable and was very kind to help me out! I can't praise him enough. read more

Get your financing elsewhere if you want to purchase. Rick does their financing and he will do what is convenient for him and does not respect your time or wishes. He ran my credit (high score) and stated he was not to place me on the loan and only my spouse. He stated the work order did not match the application. What??? I was very disappointed to hear I drove for closing after he had called me on the date and time to be there. I am shocked to of received a report from this company to find out they did do a hard pull on my credit after all, he was too lazy to pay attention to details to read the notes and full application. Get your act together finance guy! When I complained I was told I was to receive a call from the manager and received no call back. We are payingoff this unit as soon as we receive the payoff, no dealer kick back for him. We did receive good service from the sales person and great job with the nice gentleman who did the maintenance and walk-thru. read more

Kettelson campers made good on our issue, My wife called back for me,,, (I was a bit upset) and they were able to keep us on the schedule. Hopefully we won't be asked to reschedule our confirmed appointment again and all will be well. Thanks Kettelson for keeping our appointment! read more

My wife and I are always shopping for campers. We've bought 3 in the last 3 years. Even when we aren't looking to buy, we often go to various dealerships to look around. That said, we've been to a lot of dealers. Ketelsen is our favorite. They have an indoor showroom, which is so nice in the summer (and winter too!). The sales people are super friendly and non pushy. We went to Ketelsen weekly for a few months while we narrowed down what we wanted. We finally made the purchase and the entire experience was so easy. Much smoother and easier than other rv purchases for us. The walk through with the tech was super helpful. The tech knew everything about the coach. Good stuff! read more

Purchased a generator. Needed to change shipping address and nobody was getting back to me. Finally got ahold of someone and she refunded me the whole amount of the generator plus the shipping. The refund went through without me having to check back on it. Will DEFINITELY do business with them again. The fact that they sell guns is even more reason to support them! mahalo from hawaii! read more

Just purchased a camper from Troy. Overall great experience with zero pressure from sales, which usually is why I don't buy from dealerships. read more

Worst dealership ever!! Never followed up on missing window piece, and we bought the trailer new. Converter went out (it's 3 months old) which means we have no power and so we called Roadside Assistance who sent out a mobile RV repair guy. Need to order new converter but Ketlesen says they may not fix it under warranty. Says we need to bring trailer to deanship. We cannot as the slide out is stuck because there is no power. Keltlesen's response...we can't do anything. read more

Easy transaction overall, spent plenty of time reviewing the features of my camper.

Horrible! Never do business with this dealership. Once they make the sale, they don't care about you or your purchase. They sold us a trailer with so many flaws. We have owned our trailer for 2 months and after having to have it go back 2x now - they have had it in their possession for half of that time. We can't even get them to give us a status update on the trailer after them having it for 2 1/2 weeks when it was supposed to be ready in 4 days. Also, when we dropped it off, we did a walk around to ensure no visible damage and then 2 days later they called saying there was damage to the roof and gave my husband and I two different stories on what the damage was. Safe yourself the hassle - go somewhere else! read more
