Just ask the snowbirds in Yuma, AZ. when he was a transient dealer there for a couple of winters!

We got SUPER LUCKY, we bought our Windjammer from McMahons about 6 months before it all when south. Gave them a $5,000 deposit to do a factory order. Could have gotten burned, but who knew?

Unfortunately he`s right. There is no such thing as a lemon law for any kind of RV.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't know McMahon's had gone out of business.

What a racket they had going.
G-half can always find a way to do things upside-down, inside-out or backward.

Don't trade-in - sell it yourself...


That is an easy statement to say, but sometimes harder to do. In my area, you can drive down any residential street (well any street where people are allowed to have their RV's at home, not like the Communistic HomeOwnerAssociations) and there will be an RV of some type for sale. They are in corner lots, Craig's List is full of them.

In areas of the country that are economically distressed (parts of the rust belt, like Ohio) people have had to dump their toys, or try and dump their toys.

So you have to take a loss, if you can sell it at all. Then if you can sell it, how do you get financing for the buyer if they can't arrange it themselves ?

There is no way to know if a business is going to pull this. We had a very respected play/production business, that provided exceptional meals and then a live show, sell tickets right up to the moment of sticking a closed sign in the door. These were tickets for the next show as well as season tickets. It was quite a scandal, and people lost a lot of money.

We had a very old family business (that had provided loans and interest bearing investments). Due to age and health the business was sold. The new folks capitalized on the decades old reputation and turned it into a massive Ponzi scheme and milked millions on millions out of folks, including the Amish.

So how do you know ????

This Co. has been known for years for their unscrupulous dealings. My message on this stuff remains the same. "Stay off of RV dealer lots".

Good unintentional play on words!

Unfortunate for those who did "buy" it from McMahon!

MAJOR "read and heed" for anyone trading in an RV with money still owed on it (which we have seen posted here before) -

If the dealer doesn't pay off the existing loan on the trade-in,
the former owner is still "on the hook" - for the old and the new..:(

Don't trade-in - sell it yourself...:W

Our friends were screwed by this outfit. They bought a brand new Forest River and there were some wiring issues and after months of fighting with this guy they finally contacted Forest River direct who sent them to another dealer who told him that he was filled with repairs that McMahon's hadn't fixed. It still cost them over 2000 dollars to get everything right. Out of their pocket. McMahon told them the lemon law didn't apply to RVs'
