RV dealers rant and question

You are not the lone ranger. The first time I went to look to buy an RV I found then aloof, unaware and uneducated on RV's. Many not even wanting to go out on the lot to open one up to look at at. :R

I have the same advice as above, sadly you DO have to keep looking for a dealership that really cares and want to assist you in buying an RV.

...One kind of screwed us over by shot gunning our credit app out costing us many hits so now were debating on just waiting so that'll clear....

As far as this goes, as you have now learned, is NEVER fill out a credit app until you are positive you want the RV and know you can afford it. Many want you to fill out one 'just' to see if you are financially capable of buying one. THOSE are the lazy sales people fearful of wasting one moment of their time showing you RV's. And/OR won't show you ones of better quality and lower price! :W

I don't know what line of work you are in, but there are very few businesses that can survive serving people who cannot or will not be buying from them. You can call the salesperson lazy, but he is not paid to waste his time. He makes his money selling rigs, not showing them to people who cannot pay for them or who are going to be buying elsewhere. As for the person who claimed the dealership screwed them over by shotgunning their credit app all over the place, that could have only happened if they had agreed on a purchase and the dealer was trying to get them financing. A dealer will only pull one credit report themselves. They won't be sending applications anywhere until they have a sale to try and finance. The only thing that could have possibly happened was the people contracted for a purchase and then the dealer couldn't get them financing for whatever reason. Then they went to another dealer and that dealer took the easy way out and said they credit took a hit because they had so many inquiries instead of telling the customer the whole truth, which is their credit won't support a purchase of an RV.
