Baydo's RV in Fife, Wa.- An Unhappy Customer Review, Part 3

Continued from part 2---


We had a very busy summer. We had two great camping trips with family and friends.  In October, I called Baydo’s, as planned. It was no surprise to us to find the work order had never been approved. By this point, we had anticipated this exact thing and had already started making plans to do our own repair work.

I decided to call once more and talk directly with Paul. I was still intending to finish this blog and wanted to be sure the work order had not just been overlooked. When I spoke with Paul, he was very polite and friendly but made it very clear he had not committed to splitting the cost of any repairs with us. He even suggested Tommy had "spoken out of turn" by promising Baydo’s RV would split the cost. He did say we could bring our RV in for an appraisal and use it as a trade in for another rig. He also added any travel trailer they sold us would be at a higher cost than this one. He said they had nothing in this price range. His interest was in trying to sell us another RV. Needless to say, we decided to have no further contact with Baydo’s RV and to deal with the problem ourselves.

To end this blog I guess I would like to say…….We did buy the RV, “As is”. We have since learned there is no protection in buying used from a dealership. They offer nothing. We could have bought from a private party and paid less and probably had a more honest deal. My biggest complaint about our RV purchase is being lied to repeatedly by the salesman.

I would like to add, the Baydo’s repair Center and the dealership are owned by two different people. I believe they are family members. We had no problems with the repair center. They were nice and seemed to tell us how things were. I would like to be clear on that. We had no problems with the repair center.

An update..........

Don & I have just about finished with our repairs. We are very pleased with our results. The damage to the floor was much greater than anticipated, but not to the point we could not recover. It cost us approximately $2000.00 dollars to do the repairs and many hours each weekend for months. Yes—between the purchase and repair we probably have spent more than the RV is worth, but we do love it and decided it was worth it to us. We have seen inside every wall, the ceiling and floor. When we bought it, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but now we know this RV inside and out. Fortunately for us, the ceiling and walls were all fine. All the water damage was in the floor.


Over the next weekend or two, we will be putting the last finishing touches on our RV. I love the new floor. I like it better than the old one. My husband added two cupboard doors for easy access to the under the bed storage area. That's cool. I will post new pics when everything is finished and cleaned up.

Best wishes. Thanks for stopping by.
