Only because Zero is not an option
Why a 1 star? Because I cannot give a minus 10. And this only part of the problem.
The good: the service was great from start to pickup. They negotiated a good deal and gave me a break on the warranty cost. I purchased it on Feb 1 and picked it up Feb 5. Of importance: the salesman had told me I had a 15-day drive-away warranty that would take care of anything that happened in that time. The warranty was to start on when I picked it up.
Before I purchased the RV at , I asked if I could have an inspector come in. They showed me a blank pre-delivery inspection (PDI) sheet and confirmed that they check everything the inspector checks, so - stupid me - I believed them and did not have it inspected.
Hell Begins: On Feb 7, I rolled down the window and heard cracking noises. It did not roll back up. I texted the salesman & advised of this and that there was a “growing list of things that need taken care of," let them know that I was 4 hours away & asked them to find a place and call and alert them that I was coming. I learned after driving another hour away that they simply Googled some places and gave me a location. Upon arrival I was told the service department was closed on Sunday. The nearest place was Tucson. When I called LaMesa back, they apologized, called their location in Tucson, and I drove there. Of note: before they sent me to the other place, I told them that I would go to Tucson if I needed to, but they instructed me to go the opposite direction. *I again asked for the PDI, which I did not receive.
The staff at Tucson was great, but could not fix the window, so they did what they could. Because it was late, I stayed the night in Tucson with plans to return to Phoenix. On the 8th, I texted he salesman again, advising of the items needing repaired.
I mentioned several times that I had a hard deadline to leave Phoenix Feb 10, and was assured they would have it done. I got there and, even though they knew I was coming, it took them an hour of bouncing me around to get my RV in. At 5:00 James LeMaster told me they could not get it fixed until maybe as late as noon the next day, so they paid for a hotel. I called at 10:00 the next morning and it turns out it was fixed by 5:30 THE NIGHT BEFORE, but James did not bother to call me, even though he knew the importance of my leaving.
After leaving on the 10th, I began to notice they had not fixed a number of things, so I texted James from the road that evening. He said he never received the list from the salesman and finally allowed that when I arrived at my destination to find someone to fix the items on my list. *I again asked James to send me the PDI.
I arrived to my destination Feb 13. By March 16, all hell broke loose.
• A major leak was found under the sink and at the water tank, discovered when I filled my water tank.
• A bad motherboard in my fridge.
• A bad faucet in the bathroom and in the kitchen.
• A leak in one of the skylights.
I contacted James advising of the problems and asking for information. No reply until I texted back and told him I got in touch with the warranty company. When I called the warranty company, they said everything should be covered and to go ahead and have someone come look at it to start the claim. *I again, asked James for the PDI. I have been waiting since then to have the claim approved.
My repairman who came to look at the damage said two important things:
1. They could not have done a pre-delivery inspection or they would have found all these problems.
2. All of these problems were pre-existing.
Today, my repairman advised that there is a problem with the warranty: they are not approving it yet because there are only about 2,000 miles on the RV since it was purchased and it has been red-flagged and sent up the chain of command for review. I have no idea what is next, but I can only assume it will be a fight with either the warranty company or LaMesa.
Do yourself a favor: DO NOT go to LaMesa RV. They will sell you trash and smile while they are doing it.
