This is my first time ever writing a review, and I hate that it has to be a negative one…read more Unfortunately, our experience with Hi-Way Campers, Inc. has been nothing short of horrendous. When we bought our camper three years ago, the service at purchase was great. However, everything went downhill once our trailer required extensive service.
For the past eight months, we haven't had our camper as it has either been at Hi-Way or at Lance in CA. During this time, we've encountered the worst customer service we have ever experienced. The service manager, Yvonne, has been rude, dismissive, and even told us to take our business elsewhere. Our brand-new Lance trailer needed a complete floor replacement (manufacturer defect), which led to a series of miscommunications and unreturned calls. Eventually, our camper was transported back to the Lance manufacturer in California.
After seven months, we were notified that it had returned to Connecticut. When we went to pick it up, Yvonne merely handed us the keys without even walking us to the trailer. Inside, we found a cabinet door on the floor jammed under the broken bedroom door, a damaged kitchen counter, and the trailer was filthy, inside and out. Understandably agitated, we approached Yvonne, who said "Have a nice day. Find another Lance dealer".
After liaising with the manufacturer again, we finally picked up our camper today, vowing never to return to Hi-Way Campers, Inc. Yvonne once again simply handed me the keys telling me to find it on the lot. When I pressed her for paperwork telling her we will not be replacing the kitchen counter at Hi-Way, she gave me the entire file (her originals?) and said, "Good."
I must add that Lance has been decent to deal with in the final hours, and they have provided us with a different repair facility in order to complete the rest of the unfinished work. They will be sending the countertop to them directly.
It's shocking how many reviews mention Yvonne by name--she is the face of their service department, and they should be ashamed to employ her. Avoid Hi-Way Campers, Inc at all costs, or hope that you never need servicing.
