We bought ours at sevenos. Every dealing we've had with them has been excellent. They weren't the absolute lowest price when we bought, but they were close enough to make it not worth going to one of the "internet guys." And their pricing is an out the door price - no freight, prep, or other charges (except for the registration).

Its a long established family business. When we picked up out Roo it was super clean, everything was checked and prepped when we got there. We had a few warranty issues over the next two years, and their service department was great. Any time we have called or stopped in for parts or questions they have been great to deal with.

If their numbers are where they need to be, they are a great place to deal with. And they sell quite a few Roo's.

it just bugs me when a sales guy says "heres our best price" and its 3k more than another place that gave me the lower price with no haggling. the funny part was i asked if they took snowmobile in on a trade and hes like sure,gave me a price of 25,500 WITH my 2015 arctic cat with 300 miles on it , so i would have been giving them my $9k sled and paying 5,500 more than family rv. I know they need to make money to but dang. waiting on family rv now to see if they will do any better or some store credit or something since seven O's is closer. im not a walk in a nd pay what you say kinda guy, gonna have to earn my business.

Have you looked at Keystone RV in PA?
They seemed very reasonable. Just saying.

In our case just took delivery last week, with one issue that had to go back to Factory for. I liked the sound of what the factory warranty manager had to say. So we took delivery since our dealer is 45 miles away and the factory only 20. In and out of the factory in 4.5 hours for one major change order and a couple under an hour, but still costly changes if I had done them.

Do cost, no hassle and after they did a major rush, they were polite when I sheepishly said I would not be able to come get it til 7am the next day. Still drop off to pick up under 24hr. Yeah FACTORY. BTW our dealer service seems fine to, but can't beat the FR Factory resources.

Not sure why you tagged a quote of me on this, I really don't think your opinion has anything to do with my post.

I do have to agree with you mainframe. A sales guy is different from a dealer. To me a dealer is the place where you buy your camper (the store in general, the sales persons, the customer service, camper prices etc etc etc).
Some people may think that a dealer is actually the guy who sales the camper !

That was bought from RVW and delivered to my house near STL.

Not any more, it'll be in my driveway in about 2 weeks.

Now your talking.

If you're near Richmond VA, check out McGeorges RV in Ashland, VA. We were very pleased. Not the same model, but good price and experience. Talk to Kevin McGeorge

Just got my 2nd purchase in 3 years from Ruff's RV Center in Euclid, Ohio...East of Cleveland..you know where the NBA Champs are!. Great family run place. Had my eye on the 23IKSS at RV show and was going to wait until January, but they gave me better deal than show price. Very happy. Can't wait to take it out in a week.

I wonder if the FR site has a list of sellers and locations that people have gotten positive sales experiences from.

no negative locations identified because someone may get upset.

a central list as a reference rather than doing this
while researching a new to them purchase.

Do you have the link to there website? I am looking to buy new. Any recommendation on what salesman to talk to? Are they an authorized dealer for Forest River?

i would guess they are, i delt with mike, he was ok plus they had it ready in 2 days so we could use it for a trip we had planned before we sold our old camper, if your from out of state make sure you know what you need to get a plate for it in your state, they messed mine up and now im having to mail stuff back to have it filled out correctly. they were good on price though like i said.

Forest River RVs are average to above depending on what you want/buy. However I think their distributors(Camping World) are the worst.
