Camping World RV Sales- Biloxi, MS Exposed: Aggressive Upsells Faulty PDIs; Service and Title Delays

(Serious Concern)

Many consumers at Camping World locations report aggressive upselling of extended service plans, interior/exterior protection coatings, anti-theft etching, nitrogen tire fills, and other “dealer packages.” Several reviewers of the Biloxi store say they were pressured to accept add-ons or did not fully understand the costs until the finance office. To avoid surprises, insist on a detailed, line-itemized buyer’s order before you sit down in finance, and decline any product you don’t want or understand. Ask for all brochures and contracts in advance to review at your own pace. If the store resists transparency, consider it a warning sign.

(Moderate Concern)

Multiple Camping World shoppers around the country describe finance office presentations that keep focus on “monthly payment” instead of the annual percentage rate (APR) and total cost of credit. Some Biloxi reviewers express frustration after learning their APR was higher than expected or add-ons were bundled into the financing. Protect yourself by obtaining a pre-approval from your bank or credit union and insisting the dealership beats your rate—without adding extras. The federal Truth in Lending Act requires disclosure of APR and finance charges; make sure you have copies of everything before signing.

(Moderate Concern)

Low trade-in valuations are commonly reported across RV dealerships, including Camping World locations. Some customers at this store describe offers notably below their research or other dealer estimates. Get competing written quotes for your trade-in and consider a private sale if practical. If the trade number only works when you add overpriced extras or a longer term financing, step back and re-evaluate the total cost.

(Serious Concern)

Consumer feedback suggests that some RVs sold at the Biloxi store had deficiencies that should have been caught in a thorough PDI: water leaks, non-functional appliances, trim and sealant issues, and electrical faults among them. Because RVs are complex and factory quality can be inconsistent, dealers must catch defects before delivery. If problems are found after purchase, customers report being pushed into the service queue—with weeks or months of waiting during peak season—effectively losing valuable camping time while the dealership and manufacturer coordinate parts and approvals.

This is precisely why a third-party inspection is essential. Hire your own professional before you sign: Find an RV inspector near you. If the dealership refuses to allow a third-party inspector on site, that’s a major red flag; walk away.

(Moderate Concern)

Several reviewers indicate frustration with warranty claim approvals—either with manufacturer coverage or with third-party service contracts sold in finance. Complaints include unclear coverage, slow authorization, and claims denied as “wear and tear.” Review all warranty documents before purchase and know the difference between manufacturer warranties and any add-on plan offered by the dealer. Ask about typical approval timelines and who pays diagnostic fees if a claim is denied. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, sellers may not misrepresent warranty coverage; if you believe that happened, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or the Mississippi Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division (linked below).

(Serious Concern)

Multiple low-star reviews for this Biloxi location describe extended wait times for appointments, diagnosis, and parts acquisition. Some customers report cancelling planned trips because the RV remained at the dealership, sometimes for weeks. In the RV industry, parts often come from the manufacturer or component vendors—service backlogs and supply chain lags happen. However, consistent communication and realistic timelines are vital. It’s smart to ask in writing what the store’s current average turnaround time is for your RV brand and component type before you buy or schedule service. If the timeline is vague or seems overly optimistic, plan accordingly or consider another service option.

(Moderate Concern)

Several reviewers allege a disconnect between what sales promised and what service can realistically deliver on timing, parts orders, or post-sale fixes. To protect yourself, put all promises in writing, with dates, part numbers, and costs. If a “We owe” is part of the deal, make sure it’s signed by a manager and specifies a timeline and who pays for installation and labor. Keep copies of emails and texts. Good documentation is your best friend if disputes arise later.

(Serious Concern)

Missteps in title and registration handling can become costly. Some reviewers at the Biloxi store report waiting longer than expected for tags or title paperwork, jeopardizing travel plans. Mississippi buyers can consult the state’s title and registration resources to understand statutory timelines and your rights. If promised paperwork isn’t delivered on time, contact the dealership in writing, escalate to management, and consider filing a complaint with state authorities if needed. Learn the process: Mississippi Department of Revenue — Motor Vehicle Title and Registration.

(Serious Concern)

Defects tied to electrical systems, propane lines, brakes, suspensions, and water intrusion can pose serious safety risks—fire, loss of braking, tire blowouts, mold exposure, or structural damage. Reports of units leaving the Biloxi lot with unresolved issues are troubling because a missed problem can escalate quickly on the road, especially at highway speeds or during severe weather.

Because RV recalls are issued by manufacturers and component makers (not dealers), buyers should check recall status by VIN before taking delivery and routinely thereafter. Use NHTSA’s database: NHTSA Recall Lookup (by VIN). For broader research around this location, you can also start from: NHTSA Recalls — Start your safety research. If a dealer fails to disclose an open safety recall or delays addressing a safety-critical item post-sale, document it immediately and escalate to the manufacturer and NHTSA.

(Moderate Concern)

Based on consumer complaints commonly seen at this and other RV stores—misrepresentations about warranties or condition, financing disclosures, recurring defects, and failures to deliver titles—various consumer protection laws can come into play:

• Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act: Prohibits deceptive warranty practices and requires clear disclosures. File complaints with the FTC.
• Truth in Lending Act (TILA): Requires accurate APR and financing disclosures. Report issues to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
• Mississippi Attorney General: For deceptive trade practices, warranty misrepresentations, or refusal to honor commitments, contact the Mississippi Attorney General — Consumer Protection.
• NHTSA: For safety defects and recall issues, submit a complaint to NHTSA’s safety reporting portal.
• Mississippi Title/Registration: If you suspect a violation related to titling or registration, consult the MS Department of Revenue — Motor Vehicle.

If you believe promises were made and not honored, keep meticulous records—contracts, emails, text messages, and dated photos. These will be critical if you seek mediation or legal recourse.

(Moderate Concern)

When upsells, high APRs, and unexpected service costs stack up, the total cost of ownership can balloon. Extended service contracts may limit coverage to specific components and require strict maintenance documentation; claim denials can leave owners with large bills. If your unit sits at the dealership for months awaiting parts, you also face lost campsite deposits and vacation cancellations. Ask the dealership and warranty administrators for their average claim approval times and parts lead times—in writing—before you pay for any plan.

(Serious Concern)

Many RV owners buy specifically for time-sensitive trips—summer, holidays, cross-country routes. When a new unit immediately returns for repairs or paperwork delays prevent immediate use, it can derail scheduled vacations and family gatherings. Several low-star reviews at this location reference missed trips due to service delays or paperwork holdups. A third-party inspection prior to purchase can significantly reduce this risk: Find an expert inspector near you. If this has happened to you, please add your story for other shoppers.

(Moderate Concern)

Shoppers report that verbal assurances—about included accessories, delivery dates, repairs “to be handled,” or free add-ons—were not always fulfilled. Protect yourself: ensure every promise is written on the buyer’s order or a “We Owe” form with specifics, including completion dates and who pays for labor. If not in writing, assume it won’t happen.

(Moderate Concern)

Some consumers noted fees added late in the process. The best defense is demanding a full out-the-door price quote—itemized—before you provide a deposit or initiate financing. Decline non-tax, non-title fees that you don’t consent to. It’s your money and your choice.

(Moderate Concern)

Low-star reviewers commonly cite difficulty reaching the right person, uneven responsiveness, or service tickets that stall without clear updates. Establish a single point of contact in writing for any post-sale obligations. Document every interaction with dates and summaries. If communication stops, escalate to store leadership, then manufacturer, then relevant regulators if warranted. And if you’ve had first-hand experience, tell other shoppers how it turned out.
