RV Peddler while delivering unit, their driver exceeded speed(75-80), had two blow outs & continued driving it... Yuma Arizona
2010, bought a salvaged camper in excellent shape, on the RV Peddler lot. Part of the deal, delivery & set up. Driver had two blowouts on same side, front of camper causing considerable damage to front & underside. He wanted to complete delivery for personal reasons(Dec 19, he had told me "he wanted to hurry, set it up & go Christmas shopping for his girlfriend". Young man was 25 years old. This was not the young man's fault completely; my opinion, tires were old & dry rotted & should not have been on the camper to begin with...so much for his part & my purchase... I insisted it be returned to RV Peddler lot to be repaired.
The unit was returned to lot & 2 different used tires were put on the camper...their repair was complete, in their words. I left the lot & went back to the motel I had been staying at, paid $250.00 for an additional week. My thoughts, this would give them ample time to complete repairs. 4 days pass, I return to lot & observe nothing else had been done to the camper. We discussed the repairs & was told " that's all they were going to do & I purchased the camper "as is".", from rv gen. mgr. Discussed the problem with Randy (salesman & nephew of owners)he told me if I would go ahead & take possession of the camper, repairs(lak of)would come/be compensated for, in the form of a 4-wheeler. Sounded OK at the time since I could do all the repairs myself being a "mobile home service manager/tech" for several years prior. A couple of weeks passed, I called the lot to talk to Randy to check on repair times, if any & 4 wheeler, his call to which ever.
Was told, "no more repairs were to come & Randy, owners nephew, had been fired. Well, kick me in the butt!, didn't even get a kiss. Filed a small claims court case, $65.00, purchased unit in Dec of 2010, made it into court Aug, 2011. Owners son represented RV Peddler, he had been informed as to Randy saying, "I'll get you a four wheeler if you'll take possession of the camper "as is", so throughout the hearing, over & over & over that(4-wheeler)was brought up & was in his opinion, "my only reason for filling the claim was so I could have fun riding in the sand." over & over as stated before. A rv repair estimate was made by a separate rv repair representative, total repair estimate was in excess of $3,000.00. Judge ruled the judgement in my favor but, "as is" is "as is". So, the $250.00 motel cost & the $65.00 filing fee was the amount of my reimbursement. The hole in the under compartment, the destroyed gas furnace, the underskirt damage, the front outside wheel well trim damage, & all the damage caused by their delivery/setup technician is covered up by desert potted plants. Out of site, out of mind..."Welcome to Sunny Arizona" & have a nice day...
