I was asked to buy a camper to provide my own accommodations at work. I was refered to salesman Shawn Dempsey but a good friend of mine. I looked at the online inventory picked a beautiful trailer and applied. I was approved quickly and started paying for my trailer before I even seen it. Big mistake trusting him and the photos online.
I went to go get my camper there, and there was no walk through no instructions I was basically told to get the trailer off the lot by 5 or they would lock the gates. I pulled it off the lot and parked it at the truck stop across the road. When I returned the jack wouldn't work to get it back on my truck after running other errands.
Once I had fully set up the camper I was disappointed to find
-severe water damage to all the floors as well as some walls.
-missing blinds
-missing cover for water pump
-the back bunk for kids was broken
-they provided the wrong power cord for my unit
-the oven doesn't work.
Very disappointed as the photos in the ad showed no damage and I'm assuming that the damage was why they rushed me out of the yard and didn't do a walk thru. Then after calling them they promised to fix everything. So after I was finished that hitch at work I brought the camper home and on a sketchy corner the trailer decided to lose a wheel. Causing a huge safety hazard to me and everyone else on the road. When I called Shawn about it he told me to get it fixed and he would cover the cost. Getting a roadside call was not cheap and I had to go to Ukraine on a missions trip, so I also had to pay someone to haul my trailer to them.
After my 3 week trip I got back to them to tell me my camper is still not ready. So a week after I returned the camper is finally ready.
They replaced
-the jack.
-the water pump cover
And gave me a new set of matching rims with mismatched tires, the lug nuts are not even the same size on all 4 which really makes it annoying.
When I went to go get my camper I had arranged the day before, then confirmed the day of before driving 3 hours to go get it. Upon arrival Proceeded to tell me that I would not be able to pick up my camper as there was no one to drive the tractor.
When I started yelling and swearing then the parts lady ran to the back to see what she could do.
Then she returned and said 10 minutes.
Then I had to back in to the shop to get my camper. No walk thru like promised.
But while we were hooking up the unit the shop guy told me to my face that he can drive the tractor but he was just feeling lazy, but he would do it for the parts lady instead. I'm pretty blown away by the unprofessional attitude and the blatancy towards a customer.
I really expected more from a professional dealership, oh and Shawn Dempsey has yet to reimburse me for towing, parts and service as he promised me he would, he also berated my friend who refered me to him because he sold me a junk product and I'm holding him accountable. I've refered 2 other people since to other dealerships through my friend.
Also there is a water leak in the lines that I need to get fixed. I've asked about replacing the whole unit as this one is obviously sub par but they fail to communicate with me at all about this. read more
