They are just down the street from me, so I have been on their lot a dozen times. Family run, and not pushy at all. Be aware on their consignments you must reach a agreed upon price before they will let you take a test drive. That always irritated me a little, but they must have good reasons for doing that (such as preventing joy riding in someone elses coach)
They usually have a great selection of consigned units and most are well kept and clean.

Bought my motorhome from them. Very nice family-run business. Service department a little weak but it's relatively new and still being developed. Very straight forward business model, low pressure, typically low prices. They'll throw you a set of keys to the golf cart and you can wander through the MH's on the lot all day if you want.

I'll agree on most of what has been said.
Give you a heads up on having them do a PDI (for which they charge) though. Since we got hung up in air we had them do that for us on our coach - expecting "top notch" service.
Had to quickly run though the coach then leave - found out real soon that the inspection had not been done. They missed a broken generator manifold spewing deadly CO gas into the coach, several doors would not open up and stay put, numerous burned out lights, just to mention a few.
I asked for refund, at minimum, and they returned my money.
Would I buy from them again ----- YUP. But next time I would "take" the time and perform my own PDI. Otherwise - they are absolutely wonderful to deal with.
Good Luck
God Bless

Let me make sure I've got this right--a lotta things didn't work right, they almost poisoned you, yet you'd buy from them again. Your a brave man!!

I bought the coach in my sig from them and was very happy with them.
The above posts are correct that they are low or no pressure. However I did not have to agree on a price before test driving and drove three different coaches before deciding on my Gulf Stream.

Yeah - gullible eh?
I got such a good deal and treated so well by the entire group there that I don't think you will find much better operation anywhere.
My point is, a rotten apple in the barrel does not "always" spoil the whole barrel. I hope, assume, that the company has sent the service manager packing. If not and I decide to buy from them again "that person" may well spoil the deal.
My coach had been "rode hard, and put away wet" as the old saying goes. I have since spent money, tons of time and work on her and she is the sweetest running 8.3 Cummins you will find anywhere now. Towing my toad (Caravan) she still delivers just barely under 10 mpg.

This information is very timely because I have been looking at their website for months and also have looked at all of the testimonials which are all positive , of course. It's great to obtain a different side of the story. We will probably look at them once we actually start our "in person" search for a DP.

I didn't buy there, but I spent a great morning cruising their lot. They had lots of nice rigs when I was there, opened all the unsold ones up when the first customer of the day showed up, and tossed you the keys to a golf cart to get around in, and let you go.
List Prices at that time were about 30% off compared to florida dealers, and slightly better than PPL
