We have both bought and sold an RV through PPL, and we were very pleased with them. But you need to understand how they work.
PPL is strictly a consignment sales lot. They do not own the RVs they sell, they do not prepare them in any way other than what the owners request, and they do not warrant them. They will do a complete systems check prior to purchase for a reasonable fee.
Every unit on their lot, and they have a bunch, is open for you to go through with no salesperson following you around. The price is prominently posted, and there is an information sheet available for each unit. When you want more information or a test drive, then you ask for a salesperson. Salesperson is probably a misnomer. They make no effort to sell you. Probably a better term would be facilitators. They will take your offer to the owner, and of course they will write up the sale.
PPL is a full service operation and offers financing and insurance, a complete service department, and a nice parts and accessories store. I do all my RV shopping at their store, and I was very pleased the one time I used their service department.
I hope this all helps.
