My first rv

Hello my name is Michael and I consider this my first camper since my actual first was a failure and had some issues with. I just purchased this 195BH from camping world. I don't know much about camping in a RV but I do know how to repair one for sure unfortunately. I'm excited and so is my wife.

Welcome to the Forum. Congrads on the new camper. You will find more knowledge, experience and help on this forum than any dealer or service center. If any issues ever do come up, you need a little help, or you just have a general question, come to the forum first and you'll probably get more help than you can imagine. Dig around, enjoy, post away.

At least in Heaven, RVs will be perfect, and I won't have to keep fixing them.

You are not the first I have heard having problems with camping world. I just don't understand the RV dealers. Once they sell you an RV they act like they have never seen you and try to rip you off. I would think the manufacturers would get involved to help improve the service and image.

We live in Orlando and have had bad experiences with 2 different dealers neither of which was Camping World so it seems to be universal. Sell it and then try to rip off the buyer. Some days I almost wish I had never bought an RV.

I spoke to my service advisor yesterday and they told me that they was having problems contacting forest river for parts. They also told me forest river is the hardest company to get parts from.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried contacting Forest River direct? I have emailed them and gotten replies very fast.
Sheila McGee <smcgee@forestriverinc.com> or Stephanie Richardson <srichardson@forestriverinc.com> send her an email and tell her what you are experiencing.
