Worked with Victor and let me tell you, it was the best RV buying experience. I found a Jayco on RV trader which led me to PPL, I sent an inquiry and the next day Victor reached out. I immediately notified him that I was at El Paso and everything must be done via email/digital before I commit to making the drive across Texas to close the deal. Victor was extremely accommodating and patient, he answered every question and went a step further by doing a video call to show me the Jayco I was interested in buying, inside and out. Becki from the parts department is courteous and welcoming! She helped me pick out the Electrical Management System for my RV, it was a very pleasant experience! John did the walk thru with me showing me everything about the Jayco. He even took it a step further by teaching me how to properly set up the weight distribution hitch for my truck. I highly recommend PPL for all RV needs! Sales, parts, service, etc they got it all! If I'm ever in the market again for a RV, I'd make the 10 hour drive again to deal with PPL.

I was referred to PPL Motorhomes in Houston to sell my fifth-wheel RV on consignment. I was told…read morePPL was the largest consignment RV dealer in the country, so taking it there seemed like a no-brainer. We cleaned the RV from top to bottom and made the three-hour drive from Corpus Christi to Houston. When we dropped it off, we were told to remove our personal items from the trailer. Looking back, I will take some responsibility here: I should have asked exactly what they meant by "personal items." I assumed that meant our belongings, not standard equipment and accessories that came with the RV. PPL also could have been much clearer about what they expected us to remove. Unfortunately, the RV did not sell after a little more than three months, so I went back to Houston to pick it up. I paid the $695 cleaning fee, which I had agreed to when I originally consigned the RV, even though we had already cleaned it thoroughly before bringing it in. I inspected the trailer for damage when I picked it up, but I didn't immediately realize how much of the equipment inside was missing. Once I got back to Corpus Christi and set the RV up, I started looking for the equipment that had been in the trailer when I dropped it off. That is when I discovered that essentially everything that wasn't physically bolted down was gone. That included standard RV equipment such as: * Leveling blocks * Sewer hoses * Hose holders * Fresh-water hoses * Water regulators * 50-amp power cord * Surge protector To PPL's credit, they did replace the 50-amp power cord and surge protector with a very nice unit, and I genuinely appreciate that. However, the rest of the experience has still cost me well over $1,000 in replacement equipment. And then I discovered one final issue after moving to Memphis, Tennessee. When I set the RV up at our new location, I noticed that the specially sized garbage cans designed to fit the kitchen pull-out cabinets were also gone. These aren't generic garbage cans I can simply buy at Walmart or order online. They are specifically sized for this particular RV and are essentially impossible to replace. That's the part that really bothers me. I understand that there was some misunderstanding about what should have been removed from the trailer, and I accept some responsibility for not asking more questions when we dropped it off. But I don't understand why standard RV equipment--or especially custom-fitted components that are clearly part of the RV's functionality--would be removed or disposed of in the first place. If PPL has a policy that everything not physically attached to the RV must be removed before consignment, that needs to be made absolutely clear to the customer. "Remove your personal items" does not reasonably communicate that the customer should remove the sewer equipment, water equipment, electrical equipment, leveling equipment, or custom-fitted items that came with the RV. I chose PPL because of its reputation and because I believed I was taking my RV to one of the country's premier RV consignment dealers. Unfortunately, my experience has left me feeling like I paid a substantial amount of money to have my RV sit for three months, didn't sell it, and then had to spend more than $1,000 replacing equipment that was in it when I delivered it. The replacement of the power cord and surge protector was appreciated, but it doesn't change the fact that much of the equipment was missing--and some of it, like the custom kitchen garbage cans, cannot realistically be replaced. My advice to anyone consigning an RV with PPL: take pictures of everything inside the RV before you leave it, make a written inventory of every item you are leaving, and get very specific clarification from PPL about what they expect you to remove. Don't assume that "personal items" means what you think it means. I wanted this to be a good experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't

It seems one would realize that trying to sell something you might want to take the initiative to make it presentable to a perspective buyer. First impressions are quite powerful.

We purchased the coach with only that information convincing us. After having it professionally inspected, we flew down to Houston to 'bring her home'. On the trip, a couple of items failed so I contacted Denise at the dealer. Her response was amazing and unexpected. They are replacing the failed items without charge. I cannot say enough about this company and it's operating agenda....Thank you Marilyn, Gina and Denise. I will be spreading the word at every rally we attend. May God bless and keep you all.

Hello and thank you for following this fifth wheel purchase process from Explorer USA, Alvin, Texas…read more(Houston location.) Purchased Forest River Impression 26RET on March 13th, 2018 after we had looked at a few other dealerships; and decided to purchase a brand new RV with warranty from a local dealership. We had to purchase and sign all the paperwork before they would make the unit ready "That's our policy!" - Really??? Never done an RV purchase quite like that before, this is about our eighth RV, have had a Class A, two Class C's, two Fifth Wheels and two pull behind Travel Tailers in the past... Not totally new to the RV purchasing. RV ready to pick up on March 30th, 2018. Yes, that is 17 days later... Noticed not been cleaned inside, was told by Jeremy in service, their two cleaning people had called in sick today, really, you had 17 days to make this RV ready... Also, had already received our first bill in the mail before even taking possession of this unit. Wow!!! We noticed bubbling of the slide panel now it was outside in the sunshine and one of the dining chairs rocked, one window wouldn't close and lock, TV had no sound, DVD player didn't work... Well after a few hours the minor things were fixed and we received a "We Owe You" for side panel, dining chair and Tracy (then service manager) agreed to install a TV in the bedroom for all the problems and trouble, very kind of him. Justin - General Manager, Tracy - Service Manager, Jeremy - Service Technician and Grant Miles our very kind, polite and non-pushy salesman, really I would highly recommend Grant, were all present during these few hours prior to leaving their lot with our new RV. Informed parts would be ordered and call us to bring the unit in when they arrived. After a few texts and phone calls the last two days its now May 10th, 2018 and Steven Davis, new service manager informed me the RV has to be brought in before the parts can be ordered, because that's their policy and we will have to put a deposit down, what??? I believe he understood and stated "You are getting upset" which I assured him he was absolutely correct and he would not want neither myself or my husband showing up after what we had been told initially. Texted Grant Miles and informed the next person calling me better be Justin. Less than an hour later Steven Davis called, was very polite and stated they would make an exception and go ahead and order the parts without the RV there, and would I please send some pictures. It would probably take a couple of months for the chair to be made... I look forward to hear back from Explorer USA, Alvin really soon and expect the parts will arrive in an expeditious fashion... I would really love to give this RV dealership a chance to make it right, headache and all, and give them Five Stars for exceptional customer service! Please stay tuned!

Do not trust this dealership! They will not honor signed contracts!…read moreBeware of doing business with this dealership. My brother negotiated and signed a contract with them for the trade and sale of RV/trailer. Everyone agreed to the terms, paperwork was signed, title was transferred, and loan had been initiated. However, after the fact, management decided the deal was "no longer good for them" and simply cancelled it. Their idea of "honoring" a signed contract was to walk away from their word entirely while wrongfully holding the title to his original RV. In addition it took my brother two weeks to try to get the loan cancelled for the new trailer since the dealership cancelled the sale. To make matters worse, their communication through this ordeal was incredibly poor. They created this entire mess and their solution was to cancel it when my brother wanted them to honor the contract. If a business cannot respect its own signed contracts or communicate honestly with its customers, they do not deserve your business. Avoid this place at all costs.

It seems you take your Motor HOME in for one thing and something gets messed up or returned with the inside dirty. HOWEVER, at Demontrond, recently there has been a CHANGE IN ATTITUDE with new management. We recently had our 2013 Palazzo at Demontrond service location at 12,600 Kukendahl Rd in Houston. We had Doug McCasland (service manager) and Jim as a service advisor who really cared. Though it took a little longer than we hoped, due to parts needed, when we picked it up it was perfect and clean inside. Doug has made a big change in the attitude of service techs, by mentoring those under him. Doug cares as he knows the customer has an investment and they need to take care of the RV as if it was their own. Doug kept us informed along the way and reviewed repairs with everyone who had a part in the repairs, answering a question or a little expert training was done. With the management change and Doug's mentoring his team, they will change the RV Service industry for the better, at least at Demontrond. It is time that RV service take upon themselves to take care of the RV and customer care experience in the forefront as we have seen at Demontrond with Doug at the helm. We all know we have to have a little patience with RV repairs as they are not always a small issue and there is a process. We will say you will have a new experience when taking your MOTOR HOME to Demontrond. Thank you Doug for your leadership to the team and Jim for giving us a better experience we have ever had with an RV service need. High Five!
