We just bought a used RV so I went to work to make sure everything worked properly. Part of that involved tuning up the cam locks that secure the exterior compartments. I decided to clean, lube & adjust them all. Some were rough to turn, some were missing nuts & some could be rotated with or without the keys, opening them in either case. This needed to be repaired. Having trouble finding replacement parts I asked for help on Nextdoor & many people contributed their thoughts & advice. That was sincerely appreciated. This process made me aware of how difficult it was to find certain parts. Consider this case of the missing nut. I have the measurement tools that told me the nut on the back of my cam latch was either 18.5 mm with a pitch very close to 1.0 mm or 3/4"-24 in the Imperial realm. With great difficulty even the best I could find in metric were 19 mm nuts but even then they were the wrong pitch. Finding a 3/4"-24 nut was much easier . . . on paper. Clearly the nut was a "standard" product but where to get it from, hmm. I contacted these hardware sources, some from past experience & some from people's advice: Ababa Bolt, Ace Hardware, AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Grainger, Home Depot, Lowe's, Marshall's Industrial Hardware, McMaster-Carr, Mesa Fastener, Pell-Mell Supply, TruValue Hardware & United Fastener. I had initially contacted J.R. Products, the manufacturer of the cam lock, but they would only sell me an entire new latch for about $11 each. If I replaced all 15 that would cost me a little under $200 with tax & shipping. I then called these RV places seeking some 3/4"-24 nuts: A1 RV Repairs, County RV Service, eTrailer, Overland RV, RV Trailer Supply, San Diego Trailer Supply & South Coast RV. Without exception they told me I'd have to buy all new cam locks & no one would sell me just the nut required for the latches without them. As I scanned my Yelp list of RV places I noticed one place I hadn't called happened to be the closest one to my home. I hadn't called them before because they were a long way down the list & the further I went down that list, the greater my frustration & hopelessness levels grew. I thought "What the hell! They're very close!" I called & spoke with Gary Weissenberg who has owned "Hit The Road RV" for 20 years. It is behind the Dairy Queen (and one building South) in Allied Gardens. He is one of those guys who answers the phone casually so I wasn't sure I'd reached a business. I asked & he confirmed I was talking with "Hit The Road RV". I asked if they carried parts & he said "Some. What do you need?". I told him I needed ten 3/4"-24 nuts & why I need them. He told me "Usually you have to buy the whole new cam lock but let me see what I can do." I heard him shuffling through drawers & he came back to the phone & told me sure enough he had ten of them though not new. "Fine with me" I said, "I'll be by soon." He reminded me to bring in a cam lock so we could test them to be sure. Before I hung up I asked how much they would be. He said "I'll probably never use them. You can have them." When I arrived he greeted me warmly. I found myself not in a pristine business but in the work area of a guy who dedicates himself to his work & taking care of his clients & their vehicles rather than having a glitzy store. Despite his reluctance to be paid, I was able to pay him a paltry amount for his efforts & kindness. I only paid him $10 but if this heartfelt recommendation falls on fertile ground perhaps he will benefit with some more business. One can only hope. Needless to say he has my recommendation and, at the worst, I alone will be his dedicated new customer. Feeling pretty happy I stopped at the Dairy Queen across the parking lot & treated myself to a small vanilla, chocolate dipped cone. I ordered the small & immediately wished I had ordered the Junior (smaller). As a habit I asked if they gave any discounts to ex-military and/or old farts. The young man at the window had no idea but he looked about inside & turning back to me said "Sure, why not?" & knocked off a buck. My day was getting better by the minute now. Behind me in line was a Mom in her US Marine Corps uniform ferreting through her purse to find money to buy ice cream for her two young kids. With the rosy glow I had & the milk of human kindness currently coursing through my veins I said "Order what ever you want because I am paying! Thank you for your service." They were all very happy. Her two grateful kids, both with impeccable manners, noted I paid with my usual $2 bills which they had never seen before. I gave each kid one, told them what a hero their Mom was & bid them all adieu. I thought "Could my day possibly get any better?" It could! When I got home Gayle was there just doing everyday stuff. Dave out P.S. I learned many RVs use the same locks with the same key so there's not a lot of security there. Remember that & consider upgrading yours. Gary can do it for you if you can't or don't want to. read more

Great trailers and motor homes that have been completely gone through. Great trust when buying from them.

Gary is absolutely amazing. I had been calling around all morning trying to find someone that sells a universal key for my travel trailer. Gary (while on the road going out of town!!) answered my call and was able to call his distribution company that he uses to have them put a key on hold for me!! all while he was out of town for thanksgiving!! He truly went above and beyond for a customer! I am so thankful for Hit The Road RV! I will only ever recommend Gary from here on out! read more

I purchased my used Rockwood pop up camper through Gary. He was reasonably priced and went out of his way to help me with hooking my SUV up to the hitch, the wireless brakes and wireless back up camera. He went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed and could enjoy a safe, fun camping experience. I can highly recommend Hit The Road RV sales. Debbie A read more

We purchased our 2008 Jayco Melbourne from Gary at Hit the Road RV and couldn't be happier. We were looking for an RV for my husband and I after selling our travel trailer. We wanted something with enough room but not too big. In searching, we came across this Jayco at Hit the Road RV in San Diego. Now, mind you, we live in Whittier and going to San Diego was a long trip. But we couldn't find anything quite like this RV and it was exactly what we wanted. We made the trip out to San Diego and first went to another RV place to see something similar, but you could tell there had been a roof leak and they did not disclose it. We left that place and went to see Gary. I immediately fell in love with this RV. All the good reviews are true about Gary. He's honest and so very knowledgeable about all things RV. He gave us a tour of this RV and explained all the things it had. We took a test drive. I wanted it on the spot but my husband wanted to make sure we could get it out of our driveway. Being that we didn't live close, Gary told us to think about it and he would hold the RV for us for a couple of days. We decided that we did want it and made the arrangements. Upon pickup and inspection, there was a minor crack on the fan cover and Gary had one ordered and sent to us. What used dealers do that? He is very willing to stand by all that he sells and make right any small things that aren't up to par. We just love our RV! I highly recommend buying your RV from Gary. You won't be disappointed. I am sure glad we took the chance to drive 100 miles to Hit the Road RV. read more

I will begin with saying I don't typically write yelp reviews unless the service was outstanding or exceptionally poor. In this case, I feel like I hit a home run. I had been searching for the perfect toy hauler for me. I wanted something that was in immaculate condition without paying the price for a brand new trailer. I had gone and looked at other used toy haulers in the 6 months prior. Most owners will tell you the trailer is in immaculate condition but upon arriving you quickly see that is not the case. Gary did not lie, this trailer was sweet. I knew right away I wanted this trailer, now I had to get to the stressful part of making a deal. However, Gary was different than any salesman I have ever dealt with in my life. The price negotiation was haggle free, and Gary met me at a price I was very comfortable with. When I picked up the trailer Gary spent the time to walk me through everything and he did not rush me. He answered all my questions thoroughly, and even gave me insight on things I didn't think to ask. When I left, I had forgot a piece of paperwork that he had given me and he drove up the freeway to meet off of an exit and give me the paperwork so I wouldn't have to turn around. Knowing that I was new to towing trailers, Gary texted me a few hours later to make sure I made it home OK. I cannot say enough great things about Gary. This was one of the best, stress free purchases I have made. read more

Gary is a one in a million rv dealer. He is true to his word and has a rare quality in a sales person integrity. Most dealers will sell you the trailer AS IS , but Gary will make sure you are happy with your purchase. 2 months after he had sold us our trailer he was willing to fix things on HIS dime and answer a thousand question on HIS time. He is fast to respond and very fair. Even if I move across the country, Gary is the ONLY guy I will buy a RV from. read more

My wife and I just bought an RV from Gary and the process was great. It was our second RV and we were upsizing to allow for more animals. We had been working with Gary for a while and he found us the perfect vehicle. Price was fair and he explained everything that he would want to fix in it before selling it to us. There was no pushy sales tactics and we felt very comfortable in the whole process. He's not a big dealer and so the one on one interaction is perfect. I'm sure this is our last RV purchase, but if we had to do it again, we would definite purchase from Hit The Road RV read more

I was potentially going to buy an RV from out of state from a private seller and wanted to get a professional opinion on the Winnebago. I contacted Gary at hit the road rv and he told me a little about his professional experience and what his inspection would entail. i got a great vibe after talking to him and my instincts didn't let me down. after the inspection Gary sent me photos and called me regarding his concerns. Ironically the day after his inspection while negotiating with the seller a neighbor who knew we were in the market for a small Winnebago contacted us. We didn't end up buying the RV Gary inspected but I had no reservations at all had we continued with the private seller. I highly recommend Gary's inspection, he was friendly, went to inspect very quickly and called me right after to go over the photos he sent. If you're local or buying from out of state contact Gary. You won't be disappointed . read more

Can't say enough GREAT things about Gary, the owner. Contacted him about a slide-out issue (stuck open) on our Minnie- Winnie. All we expected was some advise or a referral. He ended up fixing it in a1/2 hour !!!!! We've dealt with him before and he's ALWAYS been fair, honest, and reasonable!! Go see him for buy, sell, or service !!!!! read more

Wow, Gary is a great guy. He handles his operations honorably. He cares for his customers and the reputation of his business. I can't say enough about how he treated me and another customer at the time. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and were treated in the best possible way. Thank you! read more

Purchased a 2016 Wildwood from Gary at a great price! Gary took a bunch of time to walk this novice through the ins and outs of RV ownership and upkeep and made sure I was confident before I left the lot. I went to no less than 10 RV stores before I met Gary and they all felt like a used car lot. Not "Hit the Road RV". Gary made the buying process as easy as buying from a private seller. It was actually easier because I don't need to go to the DMV to register. Thanks Gary! read more

Talk about the best RV place in San Diego. This is it. Thank You Gary for your help. He took the time to stop what he was doing to help me out. Wish I could have afforded to purchase from him. I bought an RV and took it in for Gary to see. He helped me repair at no charge my gray water valve and repaired the windshield reservoir container. Who would go out of their way to do this? Hit the Road RV did. Anyone interested in purchasing an RV, this is the place to go. He has great RV's. for sale and the personally to go with this neighborhood RV store. Wish I would have known this professional operation had it so together. Ask for Gary. R/ John Valente read more

I can't believe how nice this guy was. We were in a pinch and he drove to our RV and did a complete look over of our entire RV explaining all the little details we didn't know about... after his regular work shift...

WE HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND him 4 any if your rv needs. U r a good man Gary!!!! read more

My wife and I are new to the RV world and somehow by the grace of god, stumbled onto "Hit The Road RV". What luck!!!! We decided to pay the business a visit and went down on a Sunday this past December 2018. We met Gary who greeted us with a smile and was fantastic with showing us around several of the RV's on site. He answered all of our rookie questions never making us feel uncomfortable! He was extremely knowledgeable and very patient with my wife, three year old grandson, and I. Some of the coaches that we toured, were in the state of repair and preparation getting ready for sale. It was obvious that Gary cared about the RV's he was selling and even more about the safety of the product he was selling to his customers. I asked Gary if he wouldn't mind if I looked at the engine and undercarriage of several coaches that caught our eye. He not only said yes, but he brought me over a large piece of cardboard to lay on so that I could remain clean....wow....thanks Gary!! Within an hour of so of our visit, Gary mentioned that his son had a basketball game that he wanted to attend at noon. He apologized for having to leave and gave us the keys to the coach we were interested in. He told us to take our time and look through the vehicle as long as we would like. Once we were done, he asked us to secure the coach and drop the keys in the drop/mail box. Are you kidding.....who does this in today's world!!!! Businesses today need to take a page out of Gary's `play book! Lastly, working with Gary made a somewhat stressful situation for a couple of rookies, a pleasurable learning experience. Gary is honest, knowledgeable, and a patient business owner with amazing integrity that was extremely appreciated. If you are a seasoned RV owner of just a couple of rookies looking at getting into a coach, visit Hit The Road RV and tell Gary that Robert and Deborah said hi. Oh by the way, we later realized that Sunday visits are by appointment only...woops. Gary never gave us the indication that we needed an appointment.......just fantastic customer service with a smile. THANKS GARY read more

We bought our first RV from here and we are so happy that we did! Mr. Gary is nice and friendly, honest and helpful. He came to our camp site on the day we were first time hook up. He kept checking on us if we are doing good until we settled. How nice is that?! I don't know how I can thank him enough. read more

I'll start by saying that I don't write many reviews, and when I do it's because I really feel the review is deserved. My wife and I had been looking at a variety of trailers and small RVs for a few months trying to decide what we wanted. We were very worried about the problems we found on all of the used units we looked at. Used RVs are a real adventure, and we didn't want to buy a headache. A friend recommended Hit The Road RV, and I found lots of positive reviews. Finding a trustworthy seller was very important to us so we decided to check it out. When we came in we looked at a few units on the lot and Gary helped us decide what we really wanted. He spent all the time we needed showing us every aspect of the trailer we decided we liked, but he never put any pressure on us to buy it before we were good and ready. He encouraged us to think about it for a few days, which we did. When we came to pickup our trailer Gary spent more time with us making sure we had a good idea on how to use everything. He was also nice enough to loan us a trailer hitch because we didn't have the right size. He also encouraged us to call him if we had questions as this was our first RV. I've called him a few times and each time he has been very helpful. The most impressive thing was about three weeks after our purchase. I went into the trailer one morning and found water on the floor from an unknown source. I called Gary and he asked me to bring it in right away. I brought it in and Gary found a plumbing leak and he fixed it right up for me on the spot. I was already feeling great about buying from Hit The Road and the way Gary handled the leak was exactly the reason I wanted to purchase from someone trustworthy. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience we had, and I would definitely recommend Hit The Road to my friends and family. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. Gary was so thorough with our first travel trailer upgrade from a pop-up that he bought from us. We didn't have all the equipment to pull our trailer home but he had no problem providing that for us. It was in excellent condition. No pressure at all we came to see it and fell in love but he told us to go home and sleep on it then come back if we still wanted it. My husband and I talked and sure enough we were calling the following day. First time buyers this is the place Gary will tell you everything you need to know. Thank you Gary for being so genuine and the passion you have to make us happy campers and the pride you put in your business. read more

Omg my husband and I got our Fifth wheel from here and let me just tell y'all a little about the owner Gary, he is the absolute best. We were first time RV buyers and he made the process so simple and made sure we understood where everything was and how it worked and made sure to give us the best deal. Not only that but he also checked up on us multiple times after we drove off the lot! I could not be happier or more thankful. 10/10 recommend. read more

Seldom you find a someone with used vehicles who you can just sense is a trustworthy and honest guy... yet here one is. Thank you Gary for everything you did to make our purchase a pleasant experience. Meeting us after hours on the weekend, spending the time to walk through every little feature, "fixing" the little items wife wanted change, delivering the trailer to us while we worked on our tow vehicle, and even waiting patiently while we dealt with the morons at the bank (side note: avoid AEA Credit Union like the plague if your needing a loan). Can't say enough good things about this experience!! read more

We purchased a truck and 5th wheel from Hit The Road RV several months ago. We needed some help and instruction regarding the hitch. We called the owner, and Gary was willing to come out to our storage lot and provide excellent customer service. No question, this company deserves 5 stars! read more

What can I say that everyone hasn't already said. This is one of the nicest experience we have ever had. Hunting for a motor home during the covid pandemic was nearly an impossible task. There were literally none that didn't cost an arm and a leg. My husband happened to drive by Hit the Road RV and found our RV. Price was great the RV was in amazing shape anything that needed repairing Gary made sure to take care of. He really goes above and beyond any other lot anywhere. I have already recommended him to my family and co-workers. If your looking for a trailer or an RV this is definitely the place to go. Thanks Gary for everything! read more

The owner will go way above and beyond to help you out. He is very knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend you stop by to buy an RV or get great advice. Thank you Gary for being such a great guy! read more

The day after we struck a deal on our motorhome, the fires hit us in Sonoma County. Everything turned upside down and for a minute we were wondering if we'd have to live in it. With that being said, we were unable to fly down to San Diego and the purchase had to be conducted through email, telephone and our son who lives in SD. Gary was very patient through the ordeal and even let us keep the rig on the lot for a couple days until we could arrange its transport up to us. You can't find that kind of trustworthiness in other RV dealerships! When we finally received our new motorhome, it was way more than what we expected. Fantastic price. Friendly, knowledgeable and honorable is the best way I can describe Gary and Hit the Road RV. Thanks Gary! read more

I recently sold a tent trailer to Gary and he was extremely professional, honest, and straightforward. I originally purchased the trailer from another local dealership and had a horrible experience with customer service and honesty so I was a bit apprehensive in selling but Gary made me feel comfortable about the process and went with me to my bank to make the payoff and sign the transfer paperwork there. I don't think he could have made it any easier! If I ever decide to purchase another rv or trailer I will definitely be going to Gary! read more

Once in a while, someone operates differently than what you expect in a really great way, recognizes the value of long-term relationships and good referrals, and leaves you with a warm feeling about doing business in an industry of which you've become skeptical. Gary Weissenberg in San Diego, CA, www.hittheroadrv.com, is that kind of businessman. He detailed my rig, listed it, and inside of 30 days we had an offer. The deal was transparent and quick, the commission reasonable, and Gary maintained good communication throughout the entire process. A world of difference from the RV re-sale and consignment lots I had attempted to work with in Oregon and Washington. If you have a rig to sell, it's worth the trip to San Diego to do business with Gary. read more

After looking all over the place for an honest RV salesman, we nearly gave up. And then we found Gary!!

Don't let the location fool you. We found our trailer, with the most helpful Gary Warring. Our first self contained RV.
