best RV supply store in Lacrosse WI

FMB seemed comparable to what I've seen online. Not sure about Coulee Region RV. Maybe print out a price and description, from th Internet, of what you want and if not already marked comparably see if they will match the price.

Forget about buying locally because local sources are higher and usually a lot higher than elsewhere. Go on the internet. I've found that there are typically better prices than Amazon and ebay. You can't talk to anyone at Amazon if you have a question or problem so I avoid them as much as possible. I got burned once by Amazon because the item had flimsy packaging and was damaged and when I went to return it, I had to absorb the return shipping cost. Ebay can be okay but since sellers have to pay ebay selling fees, the cost of items goes up. I also don't like being forced to pay by Paypal.

There's a number of really good independent online RV parts vendors - Tweetys.com, pplmotorhomes.com, RVupgradestore.com, dyersonline.com, adventurerv.net, and a few others. Customer service is superb. Just do a google search with the item name + description and see what comes up. If you have a part number, that helps too. You also need to compare item cost + shipping cost. I've found that 99% of the time or more that CW has a high price even though everything is "on sale" all the time, and often the cost is much higher than others.

I love Amazon with Prime membership. 2-day shipping or $4 per item next day. Great prices.

I use FMB Trailer Sales in Holmen. It's just north of La Crosse on Business 35. We have bought three Jaycos from them and they have a section for accessories. There is also Coulee Region RV off I-90 in West Salem, a couple miles east of La Crosse. I've used Amazon.com too but sometimes it's nice to actually touch and see what you are buying.

thanks, do you see a large markup on items compared to other places ?

I agree with both of the above plus (I know some are going to disagree) Camping World. For me I shop around for big ticket items and have success at all the above at various times.

I have had great luck with searching Ebay for many items.
