New A/C's cheaper from sites other than camping world...

We are about to purchase two new Demotic Brisk Air II 15,000 BTU's for our class A and install them our self. These A/C's are about $200 cheaper per A/C from Amazon and other camping site's compared to Camping World. Is there a catch that I need to be concerned about? Why is there such a huge price difference. The descriptions and all are the same, but I'm just wondering is there is anything that I need to watch out for a $200 difference.

    I’ve always been happy with PPL, both in price and quick shipping. If you buy anything from Camping World you’re a fool. Prices are always higher, even the 10-20% off sales are nothing more than bringing prices closer to what you can already pay elsewhere. Plus the CEO is a POS.

    But,But, If you buy from Amazon, then you dont get to spend your time being switched back and forth from "ignored" to "lied to". And what would you do then?

    Yes there is. And that is Camping World will charge more, provide poor customer service, charge your card when the order is placed, and delay shipping by a week. The catch is doing business with Camping World is a fool's game.

    I'd be careful of this outfit. I purchased a new item from them that came poorly packaged and physically broken. Their warranty and replacement policy was I'd have to try and get the item fixed or replaced going back to the manufacturer. Luckily I purchased the item on my Amex, so I let them handle dealing with Adventure RV.

    Don't know if this is still true but years ago my best replacement price came from PPL in TX. You might check their pricing also.

    Thanks you all. That is what I assumed like anything else that you buy off line, but I didn't expect that Camping World would be that much higher.

    Almost everything is cheaper on Amazon than it is at Camping World or from most any other physical store. Amazon sells over the internet, so very low overhead and in many cases the product is shipped from the manufacturer rather than from their warehouse.

    Assuming the same model numbers and shipping costs, the only difference is the amount the dealer puts in his pocket...
