Unfortunately I have to replace my AC. (Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions in my earlier post)PPL and Camping World are within $17 of each other on the total drive out price for the same AC (Dometic Duo-Therm Brisk Air II B59516) and the installation.Both have said they will make an appointment and will have me in and out in approx 2 hours....so I only have to make one trip.They are both about the same distance from my house. I have never had any service done at either.Who should I choose....Camping World in Katy Texas or PPL in South West Houston???

Camping World supports and provides this forum so 1 point for them.Camping World has some locations that have had many public complaints on this forum so take away 2 points.PPL has had many excellent reviews on parts and accessory pricing and is one of the better "Go to" places for online ordering. 2 points. I don't recall any negative posting about service. 1 point.My scoring says CW -1 and PPL +3 I'll get my soda and hot dog and watch what those in area recommend. I have no dog in the fight being from MI but I personally avoid Camping Worlds if possible. Randu

I haven't shopped at Camping World since they took a stand against hunting. I live in Omaha and haven't heard of PPL but will do some research.

PPL has treated us well in the past. Camping World you may get good service, you may not, depending on the store.

have I ever mentioned that Camping World sawed a hole in the roof of my Bounder?bumpy :)

I never took a stand against hunting. I took a stand at the way the Trump boys behaved in Africa.

You are referring to CW CEO Marcus Lemonis who made a statement about some hunting photos when asked about them by TMZ. He later apologized for those comments. CW and Trump had been having contract problems long before this issue. Good Sam was also a sponsor of the show and pulled out and runs this forum!

I have been to both and had work done at both. The only way I would favor CW is we are full timers and we can stop at another CW to have corrections made from bad work. But if local I would take PPL.

PPl, I live in Waco TX and drive 3 hours to Houston to buy and use the service from PPL. Good people and seem to care. Camping World, well lets just say, not the best experiences.....

while traveling near Houston in January we needed some minor work done on our camper .... we are Lifetime Members of GoodSam so my first contact was with Camping World .... lets just say that when they learned we weren't there looking for a new camper, their interest in helping us took a clear drop .... PPL treated us well, in fact, they worked hard to help folks who were traveling with no regard for if it was likely for us to ever come back through there again .... the fact of the matter is, if/when we are, PPL will be our first choice

CW took a stand against hunting? If that's the case, then I'm done with them. I just got back from taking soe of my moose in to be made into Italian sausage and hamburger a few minutes ago.

From a news article on the net:

Camping World sought to clarify their position. “Camping World...believes in personal freedom. In this country, people are free to choose. This issue at hand is not about whether people should be able to hunt or not. Our company is neither for nor against hunting. We are for personal choice and having people enjoy the outdoors in whatever fashion they choose. However, if and when the hunting of endangered species occurs, whether in the United States or abroad, it is not acceptable to even the most avid of hunters. We remain strong in our conviction of preserving the outdoors, protecting our great country's lands and the freedom to choose.”
