Slight price difference

I went with the $1082 unit and $100.00 for local repair guy to install it. They had free shipping on this unit so I guess I did okay. Still cost more than the refrigerator in my house. Ah Well, it's only money. Thanks to all for the replies. Travel safe... Bob J.

Just a heads up...read, re-read, and re-read again those $59 installs. Lotsa posts here about fine print CW adds after the fact. Never availed myself of their installs, so no personal knowledge, but like I said, just a heads up.

CW does have the most RV stuff in one place. Hands down convenient for picking up essentials and small replacement parts.

BUT, I found for the big ticket items it is way cheaper to go to a local camping store or dealership and order the item. For me I have never had to wait more than a day. Since these places have deliveries every day anyway.

Then I call RV mobile repair and have it installed where ever my MH is parked. I have saved 'thousands' of dollars over the years doing it this way.

You'd be surprised how many dealerships across the US will have a small camping parts store attached or an independent one in close proximity to the dealership itself. They order from the 'same' places CW does!

if your handy even just a little?? it takes about an hour to pull and replace one. in my area we have a mom pop rv shop , sold me a roof unit $650. cheaper than CW installed the next day. to each there on ,you gotta pick one.

Did you price the fridge at any other RV places locally? Might be someplace that falls sorta in between CW and the (online?) price. I found my own local RV shop to be remarkably competitive with online prices.

Others have found and commented on the same thing, we have found it also. The big advantage to CW in my opinion is availability. When I am looking for something with all the time in the world I will search, when I need it "right now" I don't mind paying a LITTLE extra for the convenience. Most of what we buy from CW we pick up browsing in the store. No one else has so much RV stuff in one place.
