PPL motorhomes
Have any of you ever purchased through PPL? I am wondering if it's worth a trip from So Cal to look at a couple of motorhomes. I have seen a couple on their site that interest me, but I am reluctan...

As a seller, PPL was awesome to deal with. We set our own price and we set it a little higher because no one pays asking price on anything. Before taking it there we asked pertinent questions via telephone and they were very professional. We had them detail it inside and out and it was a terrific job.
While there we didn't see any rigs with awning out. Yes, if someone is interested, they will put it out. Slides are left out and in my opinion that's a good thing. Then you can see if there's a leak or not. If you're camping you wouldn't bring slides in when it's raining.
A sales person goes with the interested party for a test drive. Salesmen do not go around showing you the RVs. You look on your own. If you're really interested in one he'll devote time to you.
We filled out an extensive form as to what our motorhome had in the way of basic and optional equipment. That is what they go by when questions are asked. When you buy it they will run through the normal systems to make sure they work. Anything found wrong is dealt with between the seller and potential buyer.
We kept detailed records of maintenance and repairs. All of our manuals were left. If something is wrong with the RV you can negotiate with the owner, not with PPL. You can negotiate with the owner for things you want repaired and PPL will see that it's done. Everything is between you and the owner. There is absolutely no pressure in looking.
They receive some high end RVs in immaculate condition and some very worn old ones. The owners don't seem to want the older ones detailed so you're going to see it 'as is'. It's like looking at RVs anywhere. Some are in excellent condition and you know the owners really took care of it. Some are by owners who don't give a hoot about keeping it in good condition. It depends what you're looking for.
I'd highly recommend them.
Within a month's time a party flew in from Florida and bought it. He was happy. We were happy.
