Hi All.

Over the years, we have found so many different places to buy anything that is RV related. And what is nice about them, is that most of the time, they are cheaper, no sales tax, and their shipping chargers, if any are for sure so much less than Camping Worlds. I don't know how many of you have noticed, but Camping World is trying very hard to make some huge profits on their products, and espically on their Shipping Charges. I even sent several messages to Camping World, and asking for an explation of why there shipping charges are so high. They won't even take the time to reply. I don't like to do business with a company that is doing there best to rip members off. Has anyone, ever seen another type store, that charges you for Shipping Charges for products that are already in there store. When yon add the cost to buy something, then tack on their shipping charges, it makes there products pretty expensive. I have stopped buying from them,some time ago, do to there very highly over-priced Shipping Charges. To give you one example. On there better 5th Wheel Tail-V-Gate, they want $72.00 for the shipping charges. I found the same exact brand on the internet, and it was over $100.00 dollars cheaper, and the shipping charges were only $25.00 dollars and no Sales Tax. Both V-Gates were the same brand, and the same weight. If other stores can ship for so much less, why is Camping World ripping off their own Members ? I bought a lot of RV related items on line this year for Christmas presents to other people that I know who have RV's as well. Camping World lost an easy $600.00 dollars from me this year. When its time for my Membership to be renewed, I will pass on it. Why waste my money on Camping World, when I can find anything that I want on-line for less, and cheaper shipping chages, if any. I knon that any business is in business to make money, but to rip you off on much higher Shipping Charges is pretty sad. And yes, I am one disappointed Camping World Member. Happy Camping, Dan & Jill

I only buy from Camping World in their stores. Their shipping is to costly and they now charge sales tax for internet purchases. Like others have said you can usually find what you need on e-bay for about half of what they charge.

I have tried to order a catalog from this store and also call them with an order, and have yet to get a person on the phone. I did call during their business hours on the west coast. No one has bothered to answere their phone. So they eventually don't need my business. If they treat their phone customers as their internet customers I don't need this... It is RV toy outlet. All I have got is voice mail. No call backs.
