Camping world thief

Looking for a little advice. Had to leave my RV at Camping World in Albuquerque for some repairs (big slide wouldn't extend). Was told it was going to take a while to get the parts. We are full time with no S&B but luckily we had some relatives approx. 200 miles away that we could stay with. Stuffed what we could in the toad and entrusted our home to Camping World.
When we got our RV back we discovered that all our camera/video equipment and guitar were missing. We reached out to Camping World to let them know about this and all they told us was that they are not liable. Funny side note, they also told us that they had no service techs that played guitar so it couldn't have been them.
My question is what does everybody do with their stuff when they have to get their RV repaired? Do you unload the entire RV and put it all in storage?
Also what action should I take against Camping World. Seriously all they would say is that they are not liable. They didn't care that stuff was missing. There was seriously not a single concern on their part that anything was missing other than me understanding that they are not liable. THIS IS NOT ME. PULLED IT OFF OF Facebook "LIVING THE RV DREAM" PAGE.
  • I'd say that You have pretty much taken all the action that You can take and that the issue of liability as stated by Camping World is what it is!

    Not what You or anyone in Your position ever wants to hear!

    The World has changed into a Not Such a Nice Place as it used to be!
  • Unfortunately......they will not be liable.

    We FT'd.......rig was in for repairs at factory for 3 days. and several yrs later in for 3 days of repairs at an independent shop.

    Both times.....we took all personal valuables & important papers. Everything else stayed in 5vr.

    If anything HAD come up missing.....that's what I carried 'full coverage home owners insurance policy' for.
    As a FTnr......should have an insurance policy on your 'home' just like one that you should have/had on your S&B House.
  • Most RV service firms have a similar policy, if this policy would actually get them off in a court test may be another questions
