I had bought from them in the past but found both pricing, and more importantly service, mediocre at best. There are plenty of others.

The only reason I ordered from them was they (said) they had what I wanted in stock, and no one else had it!

I'd have much rather ordered from Amazon, or even eBay... Not one seller had one.

Edit: got lucky and found a place on the other coast that had one left in stock. "We have no idea how old it is, but if you want it..."

It arrives on Friday! And I don't care how old it is either.

It may not be closing, but expect a major CHANGE where treating you well is concerned, and most likely will not be for the better.


The American RV Company the OP referred to was an online aftermarket parts supplier, essentially a drop shipper as are most online aftermarket parts suppliers, in both the RV world and Automotive world. Essentially a middleman as there are only so many wholesale distributors, and no great loss. I had bought from them in the past but found both pricing, and more importantly service, mediocre at best. There are plenty of others.

There is also an American RV in Burton MI (No relation to the others) that does my Oil Changes and such

ANd one in S.E. GA (McIntosh County) that did my last Air Conditioner. Also no relation to others. Likely several more scattered about.

There used to be a dealer in Olive Branch, MS named American RV also. I bought my first RV from them in 2007. After taking the RV back for warranty service, I swore never to set foot there again. About 2 or 3 years later, they were out of business. Camping World later obtained the property and opened a store there.

Apparently, "American RV" is a common name.

UPDATE:

Well, ****. Confusion... There are *two* American RV companies, one in Grand Rapids MI, and one (out of business!) in Azusa CA. I'm referring to the one in California, not the Michigan dealer that Camping World bought.

This is the reply I got when I emailed them today about my order. Their web site is dead as well. When a company is bought out, generally at worst is a graceful shutdown.

American RV Company is now closed.



There will be no response to this email. If you need assistance with a past/existing order please write to claims@americanrvcompany.com and include your order/reference number in the subject line.



Emails without an order/reference number in the subject line will not be seen.



Thank you.

Not sure if they are going out of business, but they were aquired by Camping World in September...

I never heard/read about them; anywhere. Maybe that's why they didn't make it.
