Just too expensive
I only shop at camping world for convenience. I NEVER make a large purchase there are they are just way too expensive. With CW buying power you'd think they would price their products more aggressive...

If you are talking about the entire internet, then you can not compare anything to anyone at all. If you are going to do apples to apples, then do store to store, which CW is.
Also, yes, people sometimes want to see the quality of a sewere hose, a generator or an a/c unit. But that is not all they sell. I liked being able to go in and look at the shower heads and see the quality in person and compare it to others they had. I also like being able to go and be sure that I get the correct item for my RV. i.e. windshield covers. My 2013 RV is not listed in the windshield covers. But I was able to ask someone there about whether or not a certain one would fit and go out and put it on the RV to see if it fit. They told me if it didn't then I could return it. Much better than ordering something online and not knowing if you are getting the right thing or not. Plus returning something is much easier in person than online. Normally you will have to pay to ship it back.
Why do I have to do apples to apples? It's my money and I"m not in it to worry about CW bottom line. I worry about my bottom line.
Now you can go in and touch the 2 or 3 offerings that CW has to offer or you can check the reviews on a certain product and have many more offerings. To each his own.
How is driving to a store easier then having UPS pick up my online return? You can return for free on Amazon. If not the cost of return shipping is usually equal to the gas money to drive to CW as well as my time.
FYI, I ordered my shower head from Amazon based on reviews and love it. IT was cheaper then CW and they offer the same one.
Like you're going to know the quality difference between a Honda 2000 generator at CW and a Honda 2000 ordered from Bob's Generator shop. Ooops, that's right there is no difference. :R
If you like they way you do things, then have at it. I'm not here to change your mind as clearly people will stick with what they know regardless of cost. I'll just take the hundreds I saved and buy a new GPS or maybe put some gas in the coach.
I rarely trust the advice of some shelving stocker at CW as they have been proved to be wrong more often then not. I'll just research on the internet the correct part and then order it.
