I'm a retired salesman

In my opinion a person is a person and first we have to treat him as such no matter what his occupation is,
One can be a crook even if he is a banker/writer/tailor/salesman and another can be a honest person at the exact same profession.

i think you need to have had more experience with RV salespersons.

i used to be a saleman, for many years.
yet, i can tell you that i found the majority of RV salespersons to be ignorant of what they were selling, few actually were campers or had ever camped, tended to lie quite a bit, made statements that clearly showed they knew very little about RV's and most knew nothing about how RV's work.

Well, along that line, I can only say I bought two campers so far, from different dealers. Both of them misrepresented the campers I bought right from the beginning. Of course, I didn't figure it out until AFTER the fact. So far, dealers are batting '0' with this buyer.

In one case Fleetwood manufacturer made it right. In the second case, Lance factory made it right. So, that means, I think, that I was right and the salesman was lying in both cases or the manufacturer would have stayed out of it. Of course, I had both problems documented on my paperwork so the salesman had the lies right there on paper ... but the camper was different than the paperwork. Just a note to show that life science research equipment salesman may be fine to buy equipment from, but too many dissatisfied buyers that are truly documented for it to be a simply disgruntled RV buyer ...

In fact, we've stopped several times over the years to look at a new RV, and felt like road kill when the vultures come out. First thing they ask, "How much can you spend, and can we run a credit report", that's right before telling us we can't sit in an RV without the salesman right there watching us. We understand they might have issues with some lowlife stealing or breaking stuff, but believe me, when we get out of our car, that's now how we present ourselves ...

Actually a pretty good subject to bring up!

Of course we've all seen the really pushy car salesman...
I honestly believe that attitude for the most part has died off.

As far as RV sales I'm a bit surprised at the minor ineptitude of certain parties during the sales process.
The sales people overall I've dealt with seemed honest and had excellent input for the buyer.

Small note**
I find the female RV or car sales person extremely easy to deal with and very upfront!

The dealers that send out a woman to confront a distrusting wife are smart and most likely will be able to cash in on what the husband wants.
My thoughts exclusively.

I think that most of the people who post with opinions about sales people do so because they had a bad experience. There are probably many more out there, including my wife and I, who had very positive experiences when they bought their RV's. We just never had any reason or occasion to post about it. (So, Jr. at Century RV, here's a shout out to you.) No matter what, the buyer always has to take responsibility to make a good decision.
