    I hate to admit it, but I just bought from Camping World...

    I hate to admit it, but I just made a purchase from Camping World. No, not an RV, that would just be silly (search for Camping World on google if you don't know what I'm talking about), but for a washer and dryer for my 2020 Momentum 397TH. Back in March when I ordered from my local dealer they wanted an extra $2900 (before discount) to install a washer and vented dryer (separate, not combo) - but even after my discount it was (imho) ridiculously expensive.

    After doing a bit of research my wife and I decided that we wanted the Spendide stackable RV washer and vented dryer (Washer: ARWXF129W, Dryer: TVM63F). Our dealer doesn't offer these units - but we did find a different dealer about 100 miles south of us that does - but even they wanted $2200(ish) installed. I've been watching the prices of these on Amazon and they've been pretty steady and pretty competitively priced and surprisingly available with free shipping via Prime - however this past weekend I was able to catch them on sale at CW and on top of that they offered an additional discount because of the holiday. I think I got a good deal as compared to what I can get them for locally or on Amazon. I got both washer and dryer plus all mounting kits (floor, stack and vent) for $1565 all in.

    I think for what I'm saving the "fun" of installing them myself will be worth it.

    It's funny how people can have such different experiences. The General RV I bought my Reflection from had some pretty bad reviews (mainly used purchases), while I have had no complaints although they seem expensive for any work outside of the warranty. The CW near me (used them since '15 in Cocoa) just installed a Splendide combo unit and three slide covers with no problem. They also repaired a couple gel coat scratches (oops), again no problem.

    All Camping Worlds are not created equal. The CW in Kansas City I can tell my own horror story and many from friends of mine that have used the service center. I wouldn't let the KC CW put air in the tires of lawnmower. Now the one in Springfield MO has treated is great and has helped us out of a jam a couple of times and I would trust them to work on my RV any day.

    That ^^^^^ sounds like Comcast! I was supposed to get hooked up (been about 7 or 8 years ago) and they called me on the way home from work and said they were done with the install. I pulled up in the driveway and NOTHING. I called them back and told them nothing was there. What was your address again sir? I told them and after a long silence, I heard a "oops"! They put it on someone else's house, not mine

    If a store has what I want for a price that's reasonable I'll buy it. Don't care which one it is.
