Experiences with Motorhomes of Texas

I did a search to see if there were a lot of comments already on doing business with Motorhomes of Texas, but really only saw one recent one from Tinstar, which was very positive.

So asking for experiences from anyone who has done business with them. They clearly have some good marketing and their coaches appear to be really cleaned up nice and ready to go, but looking on the internet at things and direct dealings can sometimes be two different things.

I do see that Better Business Bureau of Texas has them A+ rated, but there are absolutely no posted comments/experiences and they are not BBB accredited (not a member, I assume that means). Surprisingly, experience comments are not a factor in BBB ratings which tend to look at complaint resolution, marketing practices, time in business, etc.

Thanks.

  • Unless things have changed an RV dealer is only required to service those coaches under factory warranty that it has sold. This means if you buy from, say a dealer in TX, a dealer of the same brand in Colorado is not obligated to do the warranty work. Some years back we bought a fifth wheel from an Internet dealer in Ohio. The first couple of dealers of this same manufacturer refused warranty service. Eventually I found a very reputable local dealer to do the work but it was somewhat of a hassle.
  • Not sure where all the negativity for BBB is coming from. When I had my business, I depended on keeping my rating clean. BBB functions as a go-between when there are problems between a business and their customers. They rate a business based on complaint resolution. Any business, not matter how big or small is going to get complaints, justified or not. I certainly never paid for good ratings. I earned them. No on reports a great deal, or a job well done, to the BBB.
  • Why are you so nervous about this dealership?
    If you look enough you will find a negative review.
    Is that what you are seeking?

    Ok, it’s me! I stubbed my toe on a curb when not paying attention on their lot.

    I have no experience with them, which is why I'm asking.

    An A+ rating from BBB would not turn me off. :) But BBB is usually a good place to take a look and see if a bunch of people have been complaining...or if there are positive comments. Not a single comment would at least indicate that bad experiences must be pretty minimal because generally people find the time to write up a bad experience and we all too often probably fail to give the praise to a firm that really deserves it.

    Since there were no comments either way there, I was looking to see if anyone here had experiences to share. I'm not in a hurry to buy something else, but my wife and I are keeping our eyes open and if we see something, I'd like to know in advance about the character of the dealership.

    The people that I know who have done business with them have no complaints. I have been in to look at a couple of coaches. They have been great to work with.
    What are you looking for?
