Mckeever RV- Raleigh, NC Exposed: Title Delays, Botched PDIs, Inspection Refusals & Add-On Traps

(Serious Concern)

Regardless of dealership, the single strongest protection you have is a third-party, independent RV inspection before you sign and take delivery. Do not skip this step. A professional inspector can identify hidden water intrusion, delamination, frame or axle issues, electrical faults, and mis-installed components that could cost thousands later.

• Find an inspector: Search “RV Inspectors near me”
• If the dealer refuses to allow a third-party inspection on their lot or prior to funding, that is a major red flag. Walk. Your leverage disappears once the papers are signed and funds are transferred.
• Insist the punch-list be completed before delivery. Otherwise, you risk being “pushed to the back of the line,” and many owners report months-long waits that ruin planned trips.

Consider documenting every pre-delivery item with photos and a written sign-off that references specific faults and corrective actions. If promises are verbal, assume they will not be honored later unless in writing with dates.

(Moderate Concern)

Many dealerships aggressively sell extended service contracts, tire-and-wheel packages, paint protection, and alarm systems. Some are valuable; many are not. Always ask for the total out-the-door price before entering F&I and request line-item quotes for every add-on. Compare third-party warranty quotes and read the fine print (coverage exclusions, deductible, claims process). You can decline everything. If you’ve seen complaints about surprise add-ons or undisclosed “pro packs” in McKeever RV’s low-star reviews, press for full removal and reprint the buyer’s order.

• Request rate sheets from lenders so you can see the buy rate versus the marked-up rate the dealer may offer.
• Bring a pre-approval from your bank/credit union to neutralize pressure tactics.

(Moderate Concern)

Low-ball trade offers are common in the RV industry. Protect yourself by getting a written appraisal from at least two sources and bringing maintenance records, options lists, and photos showing condition. If McKeever RV’s negative reviews describe last-minute trade value changes at signing, slow down, walk back to your car, and re-negotiate from a position of clarity or sell your unit privately.

(Serious Concern)

Delayed titles, missing tags, mismatched VINs on contracts, and incorrect lienholder information can leave your RV grounded and your insurance in limbo. If public complaints mention weeks-long title delays at this location, be aware that such issues can trigger legal exposure for the dealer and pain for the buyer. Get exact timelines in writing and do not accept delivery without proof of proper documentation.

(Serious Concern)

Buyers across the industry frequently report discovering defects at delivery: leaks, inoperable slide-outs, malfunctioning HVAC, missing components, or sloppy prep. Your defense is a third-party inspection and a detailed PDI. Do a water-pressure test, fill the fresh water tank and test the pump, run the generator, test all slides and stabilizers, light all propane appliances, and photograph everything. If low-star reviews of McKeever RV describe poor PDIs or rushed walk-throughs, assume you’ll need to slow the process and insist on fixes before paying.

• Again: find an RV inspector near you.

(Moderate Concern)

Post-sale service bottlenecks are pervasive. Parts authorizations from OEMs can take weeks; scheduling backlogs compound that. Look for patterns in reviews about long waits or repeated visits for the same unresolved issue. Ask the service manager—before buying—what current lead times look like for appointments and warranty parts. Have them put estimated timelines in writing on your work order. If a review mentions months-long downtime, assume you must preempt this with a meticulous PDI and an inspection, because once you own it, you’ll be competing with other warranty jobs in the queue.

(Moderate Concern)

Some consumers report difficulty getting status updates or a call-back after purchase. To protect yourself, communicate by email and get all commitments in writing, including timelines for missing parts, we-owe items, and any promised accessories or repairs. If any McKeever RV reviews describe “unreturned calls” or “no follow-up,” that’s your cue to document everything from day one.

(Serious Concern)

RV systems are complex—12V and 120V electrical, propane, hydraulics, slides, seals. Poor workmanship can create safety hazards (LP leaks, short circuits) and water damage. If you see reviews alleging botched installs or repeat failures after service visits, you should insist on detailed repair documentation and before/after photos for any warranty jobs. Verify that technicians are certified for the brands you’re buying.

(Moderate Concern)

Advertising can overstate what’s included. Watch for discrepancies between the listing and the unit—solar prep versus actual solar, “winter package” that’s only nominal, or missing hoses, regulators, sewer kits, or leveling blocks. If owner reviews of this location mention amenity gaps, have the sales manager revise the sale documents to include the promised items, in writing, with brands and quantities specified.

(Moderate Concern)

Some dealerships add “prep,” “reconditioning,” nitrogen tires, paint sealant, GPS trackers, or anti-theft devices without disclosure. Demand a buyer’s order that matches any advertised price and refuse add-ons you didn’t request. If negative reviews at McKeever RV refer to surprise fees, your best defense is to get a clean deal sheet at the outset and be prepared to walk if line-items reappear later.

(Moderate Concern)

Several buyers at various dealerships report missed delivery dates and canceled trips due to repairs discovered late in the process. If you see similar stories in McKeever RV’s low-star reviews, build in extra calendar time between delivery and any planned travel. Don’t prepay for campgrounds before the unit has passed inspection and a full shakedown on your driveway.

(Serious Concern)

When dealers misrepresent a vehicle’s condition, fail to honor written promises, or sell add-ons under deceptive pretenses, they may violate state Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Acts and federal warranty law. Key frameworks you should know:

• Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (federal): requires clear, conspicuous warranty terms and prohibits misleading warranty practices. If a warranty-covered defect isn’t properly resolved, consumers may have recourse. Learn more at the FTC: FTC: Federal Warranty Law
• FTC Act Section 5: bans unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce, including misleading advertising and finance representations: FTC Act Overview
• North Carolina Attorney General (Consumer Protection Division): file complaints if you encounter deception, broken promises, title delays, or unfair finance practices: NC DOJ Consumer Complaint

If you encounter large discrepancies between what was promised and what was delivered, document everything and consider filing complaints with the FTC and NC DOJ. If safety is implicated (e.g., brake, tire, propane, or electrical faults), also report via NHTSA’s portal.

(Serious Concern)

Significant delays in titles, incorrect lienholder placement, or odometer inaccuracies can trigger regulatory scrutiny. You can also contact your county DMV if the dealer fails to process title work promptly. Never take delivery without a clear plan and documentation for title transfer and temporary tags.

(Moderate Concern)

If the advertised price doesn’t match the buyer’s order or critical features are missing, you can screenshot the ad, request correction, and escalate. The FTC’s advertising principles apply to RV dealers: prices and offers must be truthful and not misleading. Keep copies of the original listing and any sales texts or emails.

(Serious Concern)

Several categories of defects can directly compromise safety:

• Propane leaks: improper regulator installation, loose fittings, or defective appliances can lead to fire/explosion. Always perform a leak test and sniff test with an LP detector.
• Brake/axle issues: misaligned axles, worn or poorly adjusted brakes, or substandard bearings can cause catastrophic failures on the highway.
• Electrical hazards: miswired inverters, undersized wiring, or short circuits near flammable materials pose shock and fire risks.
• Water ingress: leaks around slides, roofs, and windows can lead to rot and mold; structural integrity can be compromised over time.

If you see repeated mentions in public reviews of leaks, electrical faults, or brake/axle concerns tied to this location, treat those as non-negotiable pre-delivery repair items with written sign-off. For official recalls on your specific RV, use NHTSA’s site to search by VIN: NHTSA Recalls Center. For dealership-specific recall handling, cross-check complaints: NHTSA search placeholder for McKeever RV and then filter by your brand/model.

(Moderate Concern)

An overpriced aftermarket package or high-interest loan can erase your negotiating gains. Combine that with multiple repair visits and months off the road and ownership costs skyrocket. Prevent this by getting pre-approved financing, declining non-essential add-ons, and insisting on a bulletproof PDI with a third-party inspector. If reviews mention repeated service visits for the same issue at this location, assume you will need thorough documentation to make warranty claims stick.
