Thanks to all who replied to my rant. The situation has been resolved.
I was just pointing out a severe problem that there is at CW.
Like ScottG, I don't understand their business model either. To try and make an informed major purchase at CW is impossible. If you are informed, you just realize how much of a rip-off they really are. I have to agree with Mesteve, CW does seem to be after the "quick uneducated dollar".
Oasisbob, the price comparison was 'beans for bean' and NOT apples and oranges. We were dealing with exact model and serial numbers.
Administrator,... I realize there is a difference in the cause of different prices from online and store pricing. But CW online and a CW store is still the same company. While I expect a difference in price, I also received NO HELP in how to get the online price either. My original contact WAS to find out HOW TO PLACE AN ONLINE ORDER. That question was totally ignored.
Again, the website was like looking at a catalog and had NO WAY that I could see to place an order.
My advice for other RVer's that are looking for a replacement refrigerator because a defective cooling system, contact the folks at http://rvcool.com/. Wick, is the name of the owner, I believe. RVCOOL sells rebuilt as well as NEW cooling units. If you handy with tools, you can replace the cooling unit yourself. It is a sealed unit so just a matter of removing a few screws and swapping out the bad unit for a new or rebuilt unit.
