RV Trips & Tixs Broomfield CO- Broomfield, CO Exposed: Fees, late titles, weak PDI, slow service

(Serious Concern)

Before buying from RV Trips & Tixs (or any RV dealer), arrange a comprehensive third-party RV inspection by an independent, certified inspector. This is your leverage before signing; once the dealer has your money and you take possession, warranty bottlenecks, parts delays, and service backlogs can lead to weeks or months without your RV—causing canceled trips and additional expenses. Use this search to find qualified inspectors: Find RV Inspectors near me.

If a dealership refuses third-party inspections, that is a red flag. Walk away.

Schedule your inspection before closing and include your inspection and repair expectations in writing on the purchase agreement. If the unit is used, have the inspector check for prior water intrusion, frame or axle misalignment, roof membrane issues, soft floors, hidden delamination, and outstanding recalls. Request fluid analyses for motorized rigs and generators. You can run the inspection search again here if needed: Independent RV inspection options.

(Serious Concern)

Consumer reports point to fees added late in the process or numbers shifting between phone/email quotes and the in-store closing table. At delivery, buyers sometimes discover “prep,” “doc,” “etching,” or “protection” packages they did not anticipate. In some cases, reviewers say advertised or negotiated pricing was not honored. This undermines trust and can materially change the affordability of the unit.

• Demand a line-item out-the-door (OTD) price in writing early in negotiations.
• Explicitly decline add-ons and warranty bundles you do not need.
• Refuse to sign if any figure differs from your written agreement.

(Moderate Concern)

Many reviewers across the RV industry describe high-pressure pitches for extended warranties, paint/fabric protection, tire-and-wheel, and gap. The issue is not the existence of these products—some buyers may benefit—but the opacity: coverage often has exclusions that make claims difficult, and dealer-sold products can be more expensive than third-party alternatives. Reviewers of RV Trips & Tixs report frustration when add-ons were bundled into financing or presented as “must-haves.”

• Request full contracts with coverage limits and exclusions before buying any add-on.
• Price-compare similar third-party coverage outside the dealership.
• Decline anything that cannot be explained to your satisfaction, in writing.

To see how these tactics play out industry-wide, review channels like Liz Amazing on YouTube, where she frequently breaks down add-on pitfalls. Try searching her channel for the dealer’s name and “warranty” to hear owner stories.

(Moderate Concern)

Some RV buyers complain that dealer-arranged financing came at higher rates than their credit union’s offers, or that rates rose shortly before signing. An elevated APR can add thousands of dollars to the total cost. Colorado consumers are protected by truth-in-lending and unfair/deceptive practices laws, so any material misrepresentation about APR or loan terms is serious. Bring your own pre-approval and make the dealer beat it, not the other way around.

• Secure a credit union pre-approval before negotiating with the dealer.
• Insist that any rate offered is “buy rate” (not marked up) and get it in writing.
• Review all finance documents line-by-line; do not leave blanks.

(Moderate Concern)

Trade-in friction is common: reviewers often cite offers far below expected market value, followed by dealers listing their trade at a significantly higher price. A low-ball offer can erase any savings negotiated on the new rig. If trading your RV at RV Trips & Tixs, obtain third-party valuations and competing offers first.

• Get offers from multiple buyers (consignment dealers, online RV buyers).
• Use NADA/market comps to set a floor for acceptable trade-in value.
• Be prepared to sell private party if the gap is too large.

(Serious Concern)

Low-star reviews in the RV industry frequently cite delayed titles and registration that keep buyers from legally using or insuring their RVs. Consumers referencing RV Trips & Tixs report similar frustrations—delays in receiving plates, paperwork errors, or difficulty getting responses when deadlines loom. In Colorado, dealers are expected to process title and registration promptly; extended delays can strand owners, incur penalties, and interrupt travel plans.

• Set a firm, written timeline for title and registration before paying in full.
• Request tracking numbers and copies of filings.
• If deadlines slip, file a written complaint with the Colorado Attorney General’s office.

(Serious Concern)

Owners frequently report weeks or months waiting for repairs, parts, or warranty authorization—leaving their RV stuck at the dealership during the peak camping season. Complaints referencing RV Trips & Tixs align with this broader pattern: after-money, fixes take a back seat. This delay is costly and disrupts planned trips. To reduce risk, complete your third-party inspection and require all punch-list items to be remedied before you sign.

• Insist on a written “we owe” list with completion dates.
• Withhold final payment until critical repairs are done.
• Document everything in writing, including promised parts and ETAs.

(Moderate Concern)

Reviewers across many dealerships cite misdiagnoses, incomplete fixes, and repeated return visits. Where RV Trips & Tixs is concerned, critical reviewers allege unresolved leaks, slide issues, trim and sealant defects, and cosmetic damage discovered post-service. Whether due to staffing constraints or training gaps, the result is the same: more downtime and costs for the customer.

• Ask whether factory-trained technicians will work on your brand.
• Request photos of repairs before and after, with technician notes.
• Test every system at pickup: water, propane, slides, electrical, A/C, brakes.

(Moderate Concern)

Owners sometimes discover that “comprehensive” coverage excludes the very issues they need addressed (e.g., sealants, adjustments, or “wear” items). Some consumers report feeling bounced between the dealer and the manufacturer. When purchasing at RV Trips & Tixs, verify warranty coverage down to the component level—especially for used units sold with third-party service contracts.

• Get warranty terms and exclusions in writing before purchase.
• Ask who approves warranty work and typical turnaround time.
• Consider an independent warranty inspector for complex claims.

(Serious Concern)

Across the RV market, recurring defects include roof and window leaks, slide malfunctions, electrical shorts, brake issues, and axle alignment problems. When units leave the lot with unresolved defects, consumers face elevated risks: water intrusion leading to mold or rot, tire blowouts due to uneven wear, compromised braking distances, and electrical hazards. Reviewers referencing RV Trips & Tixs report issues like leaks and incomplete pre-delivery inspections—issues that can escalate if not corrected before travel.

• Check for soft floors, staining at slide corners, and moisture meter readings.
• Inspect tires for age codes and signs of cupping or uneven wear.
• Consider weighing the RV by axle to verify loading and alignment.

(Moderate Concern)

Used RVs sometimes carry open recalls. Dealers should disclose these and coordinate remedy work; however, consumers report that this step is often missed. Search recalls by VIN through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). If you don’t have the VIN yet, ask for it and look up the unit before signing. You can also use the NHTSA site to learn about recall issues by RV brand and component category: NHTSA recalls search (general).

(Serious Concern)

Commonly reported issues—misrepresentations about pricing, financing, or coverage; failure to honor written promises; delayed title delivery—can have legal consequences. If you experience any of the following after dealing with RV Trips & Tixs in Broomfield, consider filing complaints and seeking counsel:

• Material differences between advertised/negotiated prices and final docs
• Unauthorized add-ons or warranties folded into financing
• Misrepresented APR or payment terms
• Failure to deliver title/registration within a reasonable statutory window

Relevant authorities and resources:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – unfair/deceptive practices and warranty disclosures: FTC Guide to Warranty Law (Magnuson-Moss)
• Truth in Lending Act (TILA) – protects against deceptive lending practices and requires accurate APR disclosure: FTC page on TILA
• Colorado Attorney General – report deceptive trade practices or title issues: Colorado AG Consumer Protection
• NHTSA – vehicle safety and recall complaints: NHTSA.gov

Document everything in writing, keep copies of all agreements, and communicate via email whenever possible to create a paper trail. If the dealer fails to remedy a clear breach of contract, consult a consumer-law attorney.

(Serious Concern)

Consumers report discovering issues immediately after delivery that should have been caught during PDI—leaks, non-functional appliances, trim/sealant problems, or slide misalignment. When these defects surface within days, owners are forced back into the service queue, losing time and money.

• Demand a documented PDI checklist signed by a technician.
• Perform your own walkthrough with water/propane/electrical systems running.
• Bring a moisture meter and infrared thermometer to validate readings.

(Moderate Concern)

Multiple negative reviews describe difficulty getting timely updates, return calls, or clear ETAs for parts and repairs. Delayed communication compounds stress when titles, tags, or expedition of warranty claims are already behind schedule.

• Escalate internally (GM/owner) in writing if response times lag.
• Request weekly status updates via email so there’s a record.
• Set up a single point-of-contact to avoid message-passing errors.

(Serious Concern)

Some consumers allege that verbal promises (repairs to be completed, free accessories, or certain pricing concessions) disappeared from the final paperwork or were not honored post-sale. Anything not in writing is at risk; insist on addendums for every promise with service completion dates.

(Moderate Concern)

Several critical reviewers outline a pattern: friendly sales up front, friction and silence once problems arise. This “handoff gap” is typical in the RV industry but still unacceptable. To mitigate it, get every “we owe” item in writing, secure names of responsible staff, and deadlines tied to the calendar—not “ASAP.”

(Serious Concern)

Unanticipated fees, high APRs, extensive downtime, and non-covered repairs can push ownership costs to unsustainable levels. Buyers who planned carefully for an affordable RV may find themselves over budget because of financing markups, add-ons with limited utility, and repeated service visits. Resale values can drop if early leaks or structural issues aren’t fully remedied.

(Serious Concern)

Brake and axle issues, slide malfunctions, propane system leaks, and electrical faults are not minor problems—they can cause catastrophic outcomes on the highway or at a campsite. If PDI shortcuts leave these defects undetected, owners and families are at risk. Only a thorough inspection, test drive, and systems test at delivery can reduce these risks.
