Rv Wholesalers

I've bought lots of stuff from rvwholesalers in the past, just wondering if anyone has had a local dealer match or beat their prices? I know my local won't. Just got a price on an equalizer hitch and he was $300 more. Yea I could go pick it off the shelf, but I can wait a few days for shipping to save that much!
  • I hardly buy anything costing more than a few dollars at any local stores, not just RV supplies. We are Amazon Prime subscribers and get free 2-day delivery on most things so I start with Amazon's pricing and search the web to beat them. Amazon has a very broad range of RV supplies in stock. If you factor in the cost of the gas to go to the store there's rarely any reason to drive.
  • We just used Amazon to purchase a replacement faucet for the outside kitchen on our Jayco HT 26.5 RLS. Apparently I didn't get it properly drained last fall and the pipe cracked, causing a leak within the trailer that I didn't find until quite a bit of water had run on the floor. Called my dealer and had them sell me a replacement but upon getting it found that it was the wrong size. They didn't have the right size in stock and said it might take ten or more days to get it in, never talked about drop shipping to me. Found the part on Amazon on Friday last week, ordered it and got it yesterday afternoon and got it installed. Had a little hitch, but when we got that worked out, everything seems to be great with it now.
