Tom Johnson Camping - Concord, NC (sales)

Has anyone had experience with this dealership? They have the camper that we want, but they are a long way from our area so would like to know they are a good dealer. Can't find much online except for reviews on Tom Johnson campground. It is usually a good sign when you don't find much!
  • Brother bought his from the Charlotte location. Didn't have anything negative to say about them
  • We bought our 5th wheel at the Marion NC site of Tom Johnson's back in 06. We tried to deal with a local dealer here in our hometown in SC but TJ beat the price hands down. Hubby found the exact RV on their web site we wanted as the one being sold locally, he called and talked to TJ and a deal was made we drove up, they had it all ready for our inspection they installed our in bed hitch too, we had a good experience back then. They have a nice campground near the dealership in Marion and a plus is the beauty of the area too. The Tom Johnson's located near Charlotte NC (close to the race track) as far as I know still deals with a lot of the NASCAR drivers' needs. Good Luck BTW we are still enjoying ours.
  • Couple of years ago we looked at a PU at the Marion site and seriously considered it and when we started to talk to sales I got the feeling they did not want to budge any. We ended up getting a Hybrid from a different dealer.

    We are wanting to upgrade to another Hybrid and although they are about the only dealer close to us that seem to have any substantial Hybrids in stock, they seem higher in price. I compared a 2015 Forest River Shamrock 23SS at Peco Campers with what Tom Johnson had and Tom Johnson was approx.. $8000.00 more on the web site. That is a huge difference in a starting point and lot of haggling to me.

    With Tom Johnson having many in stock I'm using them to see and get the "feel" of the different models to see what suits us best and will most likely wait and see when other dealer within driving distance has the one we settle on

    Just my opinion. I must say we have not purchased from them, but the one time we were seriously looking they seemed to be awful proud of what they had. Not saying once purchased from them that they would provide exceptional customer service.

    We live about 1 hour from both locations and have several other RV dealers within 2 hour drive but the others rarely have Hybrids. But I can use TJ to walk in the hybrids look at them etc. and wait for others to see if they get one with better price.

    Peco is 4 hour drive and it is worth to me to drive for a $8000.00 difference right off the bat, just may have to wait until it comes in stock.

    Just My 2 cents worth.
