I talked to a customer service rep tonight about the 7500 watt dual fuel generator which sells at Camping world for $949.00 on sale.I can get the same generator at Cabelas for 899.She refused to price match, so Cabelas will get a 900 dollar sale which would have otherwise gone to Camping World.In the store last weekend, I was thinking about picking up a Sewer Solution, as I had one a few years back with a prior 5th wheel.$159 at Camping World. $79 at Amazon.I do love to spend my money on my rv'ing habit, but I try to spend wisely rather than foolishly.I think I'll probably just buy all of my stuff at Cabelas rather than Camping World if this is how Camping World does business.

I get the feeling your kind of like me; you would very much like CW to be a great store but they're just not willing to make the effort.

Sounds like you are ragging on CW for prices on stuff where you believe you can do better. So? Shop elsewhere if you wish. Retailing is tuff business and unless you have been in a senior retail position, I respectfully say you don't know what you are talking about. I don't and have divested myself of all retail investments since the dawn of internet sales.

At the end of the day CW knows their margins and there profit point.THey have a business model and are certainly aware of price matching and choose not to do it.They have decided selling an item at a loss or below their profit point does not benefit them.Most of us have done our research and are are of CW's policies for better r worse

CW sucks all around imo. They sell crummy RV's to uninformed people, where then have to wait at CW for warranty work which is non existent!

Camping World will not price match. Do your research!

Cali-MinnieWinnie,

Thank you for contacting Good Sam. Regular sale prices are for everyone, but our current Grill Fest catalogue has Club Sale prices. What item are you currently interested in purchasing?

If you join our Good Sam Club you'll be able to pay the Club prices, get 8 cents off diesel and 5 cents off of gas at Pilot Flying J gas stations, receive 10% off at Good Sam campgrounds and parks, and receive other discounts throughout the year. If you would like to join, please send a private message with your phone number and I can sign you up.

Thanks,
Stacy

I need a few things from Camping World; prices from their sale flyer are actually less expensive than any other source I could find for these items. However, I am confused on their wording. Some items are "on sale" and some are "club sale". I am not a club member so I know I cannot shop the club sale, but what about regular sale items....are these prices for everyone? I know I get the sale price on line but what about in the store (I would like to see the products before buying them). I know they don't price match on line prices but I am talking about the flyer prices.

Two stores I've been to recently that honored they're online price in a store are Petsmart and Best Buy. I'll still shop at CW, but I wasn't going to spend another $20 on something I could get at Amazon with free shipping for the same discounted price. The CW store is definitely convenient so I'll be going there when I need something now.

When we choose to indiscriminately boycott a store we are typically punishing ourselves more than the store. If CW has something you need and they are the most convenient place to buy it, why drive further? Same applies to Wal Mart or any retailer. Now if there are equal choices I understand choosing one over another.
But to say I will NEVER go to CW is sort of silly.
If CW is the closest/only/ game in town avoiding them out of protest is silly....although it may make you feel better....LOL

So, both were Camping World, but one was an online price and one was in the store. Most places I've shopped at that have both brick and mortar and an online presence usually price match themselves. Not sure if this was an issue at my local CW or a corporate policy, but I took my money elsewhere.

Even Wal-Mart stores won't match their on-line prices. Two different retail outlets with different cost structures.

I no longer set foot in a CW store for several reasons. With that being said I don't expect any stick and brick store to price match a internet price.

If it isn't an emergency situation we watch CW prices and shop sale prices, coupons, etc. there are good CW stores and so so ones. We will support the good stores. Do we shop internet? Sure we do.
