. I would like to sincerely recognize Jim Dorsey from the Camping World Meridian, Idaho location for the outstanding service he provided in facilitating my recent purchase through the Bend, Oregon store.
Having purchased four different RVs over the years, I can confidently say that this experience set a new standard. Jim’s professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were exceptional from start to finish. He ensured the process was smooth, transparent, and well-coordinated between locations.
This transaction was by far the best RV purchasing experience I’ve had, and I truly appreciate the effort and care that Jim and the team demonstrated throughout the process.
+ had the item I needed in stock + helped me find the item quickly
- could not leave quickly. - I had to give all my personal details before I was allowed to buy anything. Even after asking if I could opt-out no option was given. - check out process was longer than finding the simple item
Absolutely horrible experience. We bought a used trailer, we were charged about $10,000 extra for a “detail” and repairs before we took it home (which we were not informed about until we were signing the finance papers). When the day to pick it up did come around (they had two full days to work on it) they were about an hour late for our appointment. It was 5:30 PM and they didn’t even have the trailer ready, so we had to pick it up the next day. There was also zero integrity from the staff, they always had to ask their higher up for permission and it usually took them 20 minutes each time they had to do so. We finally get the trailer home and over the course of a few weeks we have found several more issues. The “detail” was lacking, we had to go through and clean the whole trailer ourselves. The vents and stovetops were still full of debris that could’ve easily caused a fire if not checked. Some pipes were leaking and there are holes in the skylight covers. These things were supposed to be replaced and were PAID to be replaced. I’m honestly appalled this was allowed to happen. I don't recommend anyone purchase a trailer from any Camping World.
Having never owned an RV before, the folks at Camping Works were great in helping me choose what best worked for me based on my budget and needs. From salesman Matt, to Brooke at Services, and everyone in between who sometimes painstakingly walked me through the process. Would highly recommend for any RV purchases or servicing.
Can you leave negative stars? Worst buying experience in my life! If they give you Colby as a rep….RUN. He does nothing but fill you with lies and false promises. I showed up to take possession, after giving them a weeks notice, only to find my brand new van hadn’t been detailed and prepped for me. Reason? “Oh, we couldn’t find the keys”. I spent the entire day waiting around for them to finish and then had to remind them to fill the gas tank. DO NOT purchase the package with the Good Sam’s Club membership. The bin is full of cheap junk that you can purchase on your own, somewhere else, better and cheaper. And if you own a van most doesn’t even fit. The b.s. that you can get serviced, sleep over and fill propane at any Camping World is absolutely false information. I have had so many issues in the last two months with a few locations I’ve been to (live full time on the road) I had to get the corporate office involved, unfortunately, the bad service here starts at the top. FIND ANOTHER DEALER!!
WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE. My grandparents saw an RV they liked and were pressured to put down a “risk free, refundable” deposit for an RV they were looking at. When they decided not to get it, that $500 deposit was never refunded. Multiple family members spoke to them daily for about 2 MONTHS and would either get completely ignored or some excuse was made. They ended up getting their money back but ONLY after they went to their bank and explained the situation. This place didn’t even refund them their money. This is a fraudulent, dishonest company — Save your time.
Stayed overnight with 50amp electric. No frills but the price is right for good Sam members. Free. Had to check in before 6 and leave by 8am. Worked well for us.
Worst experience ever with this company. My parents were just looking and trying to decide on buying an RV, James convinced them to put a No Risk- $500 down to put an RV on hold for a few days while my parents decided if they wanted it or not. They decided to not get the RV and asked for the $500 back. This was the first week in October and they still haven’t gotten their money back. We have called so many times, gone there to pick up the check and they always have an excuse for not having the check ready for him. We talked to a few managers, and they keep passing the blame to each other and not resolving this issue. I’ve read other reviews about this happening to other people, I wish I had read it before we went there in the first place. I do not recommend this company at all. Save yourself the time and money, go somewhere else.
Salesman Chris is phenomenal, always answering his phone, relaying my concerns to every departments, making sure all the dots connect and my needs were met! Great job Chris! He went above and beyond! Ask for him when you go in and you wont be disappointed! AND Justin in Finance answered All my concerns, explaining, in detail all my options for an extended warranty (bought used) and put my mind at ease.. He has always been a great communicator for the last 4 trailers we've purchased from the Meridian Idaho location. I highly recommend this Store! Oh, almost forgot, Daniel who went over how to set up the trailer, its functions was above and beyond.. He set up BBQ, we turned on the oven, showed how to put hoses on etc, what each button on the panals were for, slides, stairs, back portion of flushing grey/blk tanks out, (the order) and it was a couple hours. MY hubby wasnt there and later found out he went to Hospital.. so I will be the one setting up the trailer..Gods timing is always perfect! Thank you Camping World, ill always shop here first!
Went and bought a trailer that was 12k before financing. Got a few months behind from personal things. They said there weren’t going to repo it cause I had a payment coming within the week. They lied and repoed it so I had to pay 100s of dollars just to get my belongings out of it. Later I got a notice during me for over 20k. The trailer wasn’t worth that nor was the loan. They took it and sold it and the amount they got from the sale was supposed to go towards what we owed. So let’s do quick math here, cause we all know 20k is a scam especially when you take the years of payments made and the resale I. Top of the sale itself not being near 20k with the financing. This is a sleazy company that will rip you off for twice the amount the sale was. They lie and they cheat. I am all for paying my debts but this is an absolute scam on people who clearly don’t have the money to fight it and they know it. DO NOT go through this sleazy company. Read this while you can cause they will pay or force google to take this down I promise you that!
Wish I could give zero stars. This place is worse than when it was Bodily RV. The service ends at the sale with this company. Don’t let my horrible experience be your mistake as well. I’ve bought two new RVs from this place and was assured from Camping world that their service was better than when they were Bodily RV. The difference is with Camping World, they also lies to you and if there are any issues they think add on sales is the answer. After spending $50K on a new camper no one wants to spend more money. From the very beginning they lied to us telling us that the tire pressure monitoring system was functioning properly and come to find out, 2 of the batteries in the sensors were dead. I told them during the walk thru that something wasn’t working and they were going to fix it so we signed paperwork only to find out that they said it was fixed but bold faced lied and they had dead batteries. Come to find out, after you drive off the lot that warranty won’t help you. They get to pick and choose what they will and will not fix. Sales is horrible and if you have any problems, you are on your own. Stay completely away from Matt the salesman. These guys are on commission and will do anything to get that sale. Commission breeds desperate behavior. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. Anywhere has got to be better than camping world. Traded in a camper with a propane fridge and this new one has a 12 volt. We were told that the solar would keep up but the batteries (440 amp hour) die over night so on top of having a camper payment, we also get to run a generator for 6 hours a day. Sales people don’t listen so of you dry camp make sure you get a propane fridge because there aren’t enough batteries to power a 12 volt for more than a couple of days at best. Hope this helps someone and hopefully you shop elsewhere.
We’ve all heard the horror stories when it comes to RV dealerships, and after going through the wringer with a few, we were honestly nervous walking into Camping World. Thankfully, we met Chris Stiff, and he completely turned our experience around.
Chris was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable — he answered every one of our questions without a hint of pressure. He made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process, and never once made us feel rushed or guilty for taking extra time to look over the unit. Even after our purchase, Chris has continued to be helpful and responsive, which means so much.
We were also very happy with the financial associate who helped finalize everything — the whole process felt smooth and professional.
I can honestly say that Camping World (and especially Chris) changed my perspective, and I look forward to working with him again for any future needs.
We decided to go to Camping World after our big local Montana RV Dealership was very dishonest during negotiations. We reached out to Camping World in Idaho and were put in touch with Sales Associate PJ Kaufman at the Meridian, ID store. Right from the start, he was on top of it all. We told him the exact make and model of the 5th wheel we wanted and he found it in another state. Once the new 5th wheel was onsite in Idaho, he sent us a video and pictures. Each time I had a question, no matter if it was via text or a phone call, PJ was always there to answer every question, every time. The price presented to us was less than what we were trying to negotiate with our local dealership. We took the beautiful fall drive to Idaho and the 5th wheel was exactly what we wanted and at the right price. PJ even came in on his day off to meet with us and to ensure we were happy with the new 5th wheel. I can’t say enough good things about both Camping World and PJ. They know how customer service works and how to treat their customer with respect and honestly.
We had had worked with multiple RV salesman in the Boise area and online before meeting Jim Dorsey at Meridian Camping World. Jim was a breath of fresh air and a straight shooter. He gave specific advice that allowed us to understand the RV buying process. The Meridian store did not have what we wanted, but Jim put in the extra effort to find an amazing deal at an out of state Camping World. Jim then stayed late to put the deal together even though he was not confident he'd get any commission! We give Jim our highest level or recommendation and he has earned our loyalty.
When buying from these guys you need to check out everything from the roof to the tanks because if you find a issue after you have taken possession of the camper they will drag there feet and tell you they have to get approval from the manufacturer even tho the issue was there before you bought it. It is like pulling teeth dealing with the service department its like they made the sell so now its your problem. There is no sense of urgency to repair it. The sales side of things is great but a headache to get warranty work done and approved.
This review goes specifically to Chris Styff at camping world in Meridian, ID. I first went to browse inventory after shopping online and looking at multiple other dealerships. He took me in, showed me a handful of RVs that would work for my situation, and ultimately helped me find the one I now call home. Without his help, I probably wouldn’t have found what I was looking for. He worked on AND off the clock to help me find something in my budget with the specifications I was looking for. He was there day or night, even on his days off whenever I had a question. I’ve never experienced a salesman quite like him, because he went above and beyond my expectations. Chris, I hope Camping World takes care of you because you are the man.
We went here directly after having a poor experience with bishes. Amazing service Matt Isaac's was so friendly and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. We are excited to use our new pop up and go on so many adventures.
My vote, if you are looking around the valley choose camping world!
Went in looking for a tear-drop/square-drop. Didn't even make it past the front desk. Immediately turned away with a "We don't sell anything like that at MY dealership."
Conversation wasn't even long enough to catch the guys name. No introduction. Made it feel like I was interrupting his conversation with the two women at the front desk.
We bought a new trailer here this summer and had a great experience with our sales rep. Unfortunately that was the only positive aspect of the purchase. From them not even being able to locate our trailer for roughly an hour when we came for our scheduled pick-up, to taking advantage of our desperation to make it a quick appointment due to having our young children with us and upselling us on ridiculous extended warranties, to giving us the round-around when we’ve tried to contact them via phone call, email, and voicemail to cancel said warranties, to stalling repairs based on complete nonsense regarding parts and authorizations from the manufacturer, I really wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Terrible experience, go anywhere else.
Have to come back and change this review. When we bought it we knew that it had a few issues they tried at the factory to cover up some issues by using a wallpaper on the ceiling. That wall paper fell off and we brought it back to replace it but dang please watch video attached it looks like a 2 year old put the panel back. I have alot more issues but it's not worth bringing it all up.
Not only did they sell me a trailer with undisclosed damage, but I have also been trying for over 3 weeks to cancel the extended warranty that doesn’t cover anything anyway. No one will return my calls or seems interested in customer service in any way. Will be great if you want to sell you something, but if you need help then they will be rude or you will never hear back. Buyer Beware
Tyler at Camping World is absolutely incredible! He really listened to what we wanted and never tried to upsell or waste our time with things we weren’t interested in. He’s all business in the best way and truly knows his stuff inside and out. We honestly couldn’t believe he wasn’t already a manager—with his knowledge and experience, he’s sure to be one soon. Tyler made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable, and he will be my go-to from here on out. Thank you, Tyler, for making it such a great experience—ask for Tyler, you won’t be disappointed!
Bought a “brand new” 2025 Pioneer 17BH, was told it was overstock and not one of the demo units flagged for damage. Turns out it was—had painter’s tape still on it, jack bracket is bent from impact, and electrical issues from day one. The moment in the sales process where I stood up for my mother who will be sold and taken advantage of for stuff she wants, and stated we do not need the 1600$ go camp package that essentially just makes them over head money for 4-500$ worth of hoses and gear. They left us to figure it all out ourselves. The mood changed entirely and they basically acted like we were on our own. Left me in the parking lot to hook it up entirely alone. When he stated they HAVE to make sure it’s working legal condition to drive off the lot when attempting to sell on the 1600$. I could have showed up with a different truck and left and no one would have said anything. Not how you treat paying customers. Now to find out after really getting a hard look at it, that it’s got patches on the ceilings where the blue tape was on the lot. On the cupboards, and what really sent me, the bent jack. That’s huge! That’s structural. Filing formal complaints.
Had a friend buy a 2023 Momentum. This is what the roof looked like on the camping trip we took two weeks later. Apparently roof inspection is not part of their 50 point inspection. They are refusing to seal the roof leaving him with hundreds in repair bills. If this is what they consider good workmanship, I wouldn’t let them touch my RV if I valued it at all.
I have never had a better experience purchasing a vehicle in my life. The whole process from the time I came on the lot, until I left with my unit was exceptional. I got the most for my money and stellar customer service. Thank you everyone at Meridian Camping World.
They were so friendly and great to work with. Matt was a great salesman and Alex handled all the paperwork so professionally. The tech that walked us through the trailer was knowledgeable and very detailed.
We went in on a Sunday to look at trailers with Nate we left unsure of what our next steps were going to be moving forward. We hopped online and decided on a model they had in stock and available, we called back and put a deposit on a unit. Nate and everyone put things in motion very quickly and moved stuff around so we could use the trailer on a short notice that very Thursday! Everyone was very helpful and made for a good whirlwind experience! Thanks again!
Awesome place to do business with. Danny the GM went above and beyond helping us get into another RV. Luke was a pleasure to work with on keeping us informed on what was going on with our purchase. Karyn at the front desk was very helpful even when answering phones and employees questions. Love the team in Meridian, were customers for life.
Great RV supply store! They have everything that is RV sized from kitchen, bathroom, outdoor, and pet supplies. Free popcorn and coffee while you shop! The bags they put your purchased items in are reusable and very durable, a very pleasant surprise. Prices are great!
Whether you want some stuff to repair your RV or if you’re looking for a fun camping gift, they have it all!!!! The staff is very friendly and even got a cart for me and my mother. They helped us around the store and Jackie even said if we need anything to just call for her.
