I like to browse on line and shop the brick & mortar stores...

I really like to see what I am buying, I like being able to feel and compare items, I like being able to use it right away, and there's nothing like being able to return or exchange something without having to wait for a delivery service and packing and unpacking...

sometimes the brick and mortar stores a little higher but they also add value by being where I am... they pay local taxes and support the local communities and employ people here at home... all of this makes B&M a better choice...

most on-line stores may be a little cheaper, but drop ship from warehouses maybe not even in the country... they generally sell off specific items they get cheap themselves or specialize in only a few items... while its much easier to offer better prices that way it offers little in the way of added value...


Love my mass produced, entry level, built by Lazy American Workers, Hornet

I second RVing Outpost. It's like dealing with a friend when you buy from them.

Take a look at www.rvexit.com.

I bought a water heater there a couple years ago. Saved about a $100 compared to Camping World.

I like to stop and look at C World, but the prices are high unless the item is on sale.

Where we live there are no real good RV supply stores or I would use them. I always prefer to shop locally whenever possible. Our Wal Mart has very few RV supplies. The nearest CW is quite a distance away.

CW online is my prime source.

I've used Cabellas, PPL, CW, JCWhitney, and local dealers. Just depends on what I need and how soon I need it.

Big ticket items I shop on line for best price. Small items at CW. CW is across the highway from the fitness center I go to which makes it easy. Also, I have ordered from CW on line.

I never buy from CW. I can always find what I need (less expensive) from another dealer.

I have ordered from RVWholesalers a couple of times. Good prices and reasonable shipping charges.
