Campkin’s RV helps ‘Orphaned’ customers

Campkins RV invites all ‘orphan’ RV customers whose RV dealer and/or manufacturer are no longer in business.

It’s an unfortunate sign of the times, but when an RV Dealer closes the doors, or manufacturers have no dealer representatives in a customers area, this is when well established RV Dealers like Campkin’s RV step in to help.

For years Campkins RV has opened their doors to RV’rs who have been left out in the cold when their warranty is no longer available at their original selling dealer.

We welcome all service customers, please call 1-888-743-9378 or Service@campkins.com

Breaking RV News: Forest River holds Open House

Brad Campkin and Roland Goreski of Campkins RV Centre are travelling to Indiana as guests of Forest River Inc, a Berkshire Hathaway Company.

Press release:

Forest River Inc. expects more than 1,600 people from about 600 RV dealerships to attend the company’s second annual dealer show Sept. 23-24 at its Elkhart, Ind., headquarters.

Some 300 towable and motorized RVs will be on display, according to Forest River General Manager Jeff Babcock. ”This is by far a bigger show than last year,” Babcock said. ”We are going to have 150 more units here than we did last year.”

Additionally, new floorplans will be introduced in Forest River’s retro-look R-Pod travel trailer. Plus lot’s of new features for Brands like Surveyor, Wildcat and Clipper Campers by Coachmen.

As Forest River did last year, the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. subsidiary will cover food and lodging costs for visiting dealers.

”We’ve had an unbelievable response from dealers,” Babcock said. ”Last year was small potatoes compared to what’s going to be going on this year.”

Campkin’s Customer starts New Durham RV Club!

ONTARIO

Durham RV Club

submitted by Gary Andress

I would like to thank Michael and Tania of Grangeways Trailer Park, 9700 Concession Rd. #3 in Sandford ON, on behalf of the Durham RV Club for our recent and first outing on June 19-21, 2009. Our club found the RV park and campground very clean and diverse in many areas of entertainment for our children and ourselves. Though Saturday proved to be a little damp, the service and friendliness to our needs made the day warmer and brighter. We were hoping to have a children and adult game day followed by a BBQ on Saturday, but the weather was not cooperative and left us trying to arrange other means so we could have our BBQ at least. I asked at the front desk for assistance in using one of the facilities for our event but was politely declined. To make a long story short, the next thing I hear is Mike running around looking for me because he heard about my request. He finally found me and took me around to show me a place we could use. He brought games for the kids and adults, a stereo and music CD’s and had everything set up, then transported everything from the one venue to the other. He also brought a BBQ for us to use and gave us the recreation hall to serve our needs out of the rain. I cannot express how pleased and elated everyone was with the hospitality and personal touch to make that day happen for us. Our warmest and sincerest thanks to everyone (especially Mike) for taking the time to do all this for us. The Club agreed to once again book at the facility before season’s end. It isn’t often you find a place where people care about the little things and it is nice to see they haven’t forgotten that service means a lot.

We would also like to thank Campkin’s RV Centre for supplying goodie bags for our club members.

The members who attended were just fantastic. Their spirits were high and they were delightful company. I am very proud to be the president of the Durham RV Club. Thanks for a memorable weekend my friends.

All Fifths are marked down to sell, we have priced out all inventory based on a 1.06 cent exchange rate…you can’t drive to the USA and back and save this much money!

Do the math, we have the unit you want right here in Southern Ontario, we will completely go over the entire unit and check to make sure that all systems are a GO before you come in for your Demo, then we will take as much time as you need to show you how to operate your NEW 2009 Fifth Wheel.

Then we demand that you drop back in the next 365 days for a FREE inspection so we can do all the little adjustments that we all know you’ll need.

Also we demand that you call us, toll free, at any time so we can assist you as you are using your NEW Fifth Wheel. Our toll free line works anywhere in the Continental USA or anywhere in the great white North CANADA! Remember, if you do not call, we will not help you!

Also we will register you with RV Care, a FREE Dealer Network that only Campkin’s RV Centre can set you up with when you purchase from us. This is not available to any other RV Owners, you must buy from an RV Care Dealer to get this huge benefit!

Fall in the RV Business

It has always amazed me that even my own family says “So what do you do once summer is over?” The truth is we get even busier! Think about it, everyones finishing up their holidays so they need service ie: maintenance, damage repairs, winterizing and even, now just imagine this…to trade in when the prices are the lowest of the year, and your trade is at it’s highest (it will not go up in price, so it is at it’s highest!).

We are getting brand new 2010’s in, new floorplans( see-R-pod,Surveyor Sport) and with the dollar being so strong the new prices are HOT!

So I dare you, ask me what I do once summers over, I dare you!

LOL
