David Bane who owns the three Tom Raper dealerships in Richmond Indiana, Columbus and Cincinnati Ohio announced that he is selling to a nationwide RV sales and service company. The word here in his home town is that Camping World is buying them. If so, Marcus scored three very large-fairly well respected dealerships.

I'm considering purchasing a new RV this year & TOM RAPER was one place I was considering. I had previously bought 2 RV's from them back in the 90's. was treated well & they had a good service dept. then. So now I have to scratch-off TOM RAPER from my list of dealers.
as for CW locations, they will not ever see me on their lots or in stores again after the terrible experience I had with their GREENWOOD,IN. (indy area)location 2 years ago. this has to be one of their WORST service dept. locations. on a scale of 1 to 10, they don't even rate a 1. as for the Rapid Response Team to handle claim--not much better. DW still gets furious anytime I mention their name or get a piece of mail from them.

We had a similar experience in Greenwood a few years back. What I'm hearing is that most personnel will remain the same in Richmond. They said they were adding more service bays. They already have more bays than I have ever seen at any dealer. It should be interesting.
