Greetings all,
We are getting back into camping after a number of years without a rig. Do you have a favorite on-line store that you believe has the best prices for camping supplies and equipment?

Like everything else, there is not 1 single source that is always better IMO.

I purchased a lot of things from amazon.com. Search on the major RV brands and you'll find a lot of items... Camco, Valterra, etc. Many items with free shipping/no tax (outside WA).
Although not online on walmart.com, the RV section at the sticks/bricks Wal Mart is small, but what they do have is priced better than most of the RV stores. Most of the basics are there... sewer hoses, electric cords, RV chemicals, etc.

If you're talking about "camping" we like the online store of CAMPMOR.COM. If you're talking about RVing, then we buy from a variety of different sources.

Joining the chorus --- ANY time you shop online, you do have to shop. Different places will have sales on the particular item you want, or is often the case, throw in free shipping. But, you have to shop around.
Having said that, I like JCWhitney for a number of items. They specialize in after-market auto parts, but have an entire business for RV accessories too (and a free catalog). I too like Wally World --- they built a new (as in extra Grande) one by me and have a pretty nice selection of camping supplies and RV stuff. I purchase things like spare fuses and bulbs there, for example.
I would also add if you simply want to browse accessories (to see what's out there), look at Camping World. A number of people, including myself, don't care for their prices. But, you can go online and look at toys (virtual window shopping) and once you get a make/model of something, start to "Google" (or as the prez said, use "The Google") that item for comparison shopping.

I have bought some smaller items such as rain gutter extensions, doo-dads and Eternabond on EBAY including shipping for less than I could find it locally.
