feb. 4 2017
WOW, what a whirlwind the last 3 weeks have been! on Jan 14th we went camper shopping with friends Beth and Todd and found a camper that had eve'rything we had on our 'wishlist'. we picked it up on the 17th with friends beth/todd/john and laurie helping us move everthing from old camper to new camper. I had a lot of stuff packed up in boxes but it still was a big process. todd said we have way too much stuff! The "technicans" at camping word of dover said we had a soft spot from water damage on one of our slides and also delamination on the back wall of our old camper and limited furniture so they talked us down to $10000 on the trade and we had to pay $27000 also. A lot of money but we loved the layout and length of the new one. Since we have been home at Belle Parc we have had a lot of trouble with various things starting with the TV's in the living room and basement not receiving any cable input. bedroom tv worked great so we have a cabele and splitter running to the tvs to get cable. hummm. we tried calling camping world of dover so many times that we lost track and left messages but It was rare to get a return call from them with the normal response being we will get back to you by xxx time. It NEVER  happened. Tom finally called Corporate headquarters in Indiana and golly next day we had a phone call stating that in the first 30 days we can show up anytime with no appointment and they have to take care of us right then and there. Again, hummm. where was that information when we bought the camper. since then we have many more issues. the sink is moving around in its base and now we have a large gap on the front of the sink. the toilet drips a  bit. there is a bulge with the strip coming off on one of the slides. the wall of the camper on the back wall moves just like the one on the old camper did. again hummm, just a ploy to talk us down on the old camper trade????? the floor overall seems weak, esp around the furnace vents on the floor. again we love the layout of the camper. but all these issues in less than 3 weeks??? What will be wrong after a year. We are very disappointed in the follow up service and responses from Camping World Of Dover Fl. very disappointed. I would not suggest anyone getting a camper there.
 Otherwise, we have not been doing a lot around the campground. Kayaking once, no bike rides, Zumba classes, and line dancing along with some walking. Gotta get these camper issues settled and then I have to enjoy the park. We have booked a site in San Benito Tx at Palmdale rv resort for next year. friends beth/todd/laurie and john are coming there too. we have been lucky to have them as friends. we do a lot together.
