What's up with RV Sales People?
PPL has an almost new 5th wheel I am very interested in. After being sent to voicemail several times I finally got someone to answer the phone this morning around 9:30. She was going to send an email ...

If they are too busy to answer the phone they are probably too busy to make any repairs needed or give you the time of day.
PPL is mostly consignments. They sell most rigs "as is". No inspections, no P&L (they will do a Pre-Delivery Checkout/ Demo - at a cost to the buyer of $390 - which will demonstrate what is working at the time of delivery. If something is not working, you have the opportunity to back out of the sale if the owner won't fix it. PPL will not fix any issues).
What you see is what you get, and it is your responsibility to find any issues and alter your offer for the rig to take into consideration any repairs needed. They do buy some rigs outright, or as trade-ins. But what I've seen - those rigs are sold 'as is'.
I know some folks who have bought from PPL and are very happy. I know some who will never darken their door again.
If you are not comfortable inspecting the rig, and getting anything you find fixed yourself - they are not the place for your to go.
When we went to PPL in New Braunfels and Cleburne, the number of browsers can exceed the number of sales people much of the time.
Folks are literally standing in line to look at rigs.
Yes, they don't need to return calls or e-mails to make money. They have so many people wanting to buy, and unless you are trading in an RV, they are the best place to sell if you don't want to go through the fun of face to face trying to sell your rig.
