All you have to do is purchase a camper at camping world,and that experience should be enough to not want to do business there again....learned that on my previous camper.

This isn't the first time Lemonis has made political statements asking RVers not to shop in his stores. Worked the first time for me. I don't like being told how I should think or vote.

Really?!?! That article is a year old.

This is the number one reason to avoid camping world

Isn't Good Sam connected to Camping World? Perhaps they don't want my business, either.

Yes, the article is nearly a year old.

Yes, Lemonis tried to walk it back afterwards, but failed.

Yes, they are both one in the same company.

Yes, Marcus Lemonius is a snake oil salesman IMHO.

Yes, I will avoid shopping at Camping World, or Good Sam, or any of their affiliates.

That just about sums it up. However, I wouldn't deal with Camping World before he made his obnoxious statement, so not a lot has changed for me.

Camping World is a great place to buy toilet paper and chemicals when you are on the road, but I'd never spend any long bucks there. Their sales and service have a reputation of incompetence.

You can say what you want to about Lemonis and his ego, but C/W has bought some really great existing RV dealerships.
But they chew up and spit out employees that don't meet their lofty sales objectives. They are much like the big nationwide auto dealerships that are slam and jam operations. I don't like to deal with such businesses.

I could care less about his year old comments nor would comments keep me away from buying what I need. Politics isn't my life nor would I judge an entire organization based on one nit wit's comments. Regardless of his title.

I have plenty of reasons to not shop there and none of them have anything to do with politics.

Frankly I'd prefer if everyone kept their politics to themselves and on the other end used the time to educate themselves instead of getting outraged just because some mental midget said something stupid. This stuff permeates social media and the rabbit holes people crawl down to satisfy their confirmation bias. That is a much bigger problem than what some idiot with a title said.
