Can't believe what i heard
This weekend i'm camped at a local campground by one of our lakes. Yesterday a couple pulled in next to us with 05 to 07 Chevy Silverado 1500 pulling a 5th wheel. Not sure of size but every bit of 28 ...

I agree with the main gist of this thread... that salespeople and dealers should be held responsible for selling someone something that will endanger their lives.
If I hire an electrician to wire an additional room, I expect him or her to know what I need and how to install it- I look to them for advice. Likewise, why is it so far-fetched that a dealership should know what a person is able to tow with their vehicle.
They are both in business to sell products/services... why is it OK for the dealership to lie to a consumer about what they can tow, but not OK for the electrician to do so? Why do we expect truth from one and not the other.
Should I have to study electrical and wiring before I talk to the electrician to make sure he isn't lying to me? If not, why is it expected here that people do that before they buy an RV? Would you not expect the electrician to tell you what you need for the room addition? Why then, would we not hold the dealership to the same standards, especially when lives are at stake. I'm tired of some businesses not having to be responsible for their actions.
Yea, people should probably have some general idea on what makes their RV tick, just like we should know how to use the new electrical being put in, but the dealerships should also have some responsibility here.
The more we accept this behavior without recourse, the more people can get screwed or worse... doesn't make sense.
