Testimonials

This is what Chuck Woodbury, noted author and editor of hundreds of articles on Rvs' and the RV lifestyle had to say about the Rv Buyers Survival Guide; " No other book on the market today addresses the basic fear of most new RV buyers --of being "taken"--of paying much more than the dealer would have accepted. In it he reveals what you will not find in any other RV book I know of, the "do's" and "don'ts" that can make a huge difference in how much a buyer pays for an RV. If you plan to buy an RV, you MUST read this book first."

"I just had to write to tell you about my experience with your book! I read it twice and went directly to the dealer that had the 5th wheel I was interested in buying. After loading up on options, I calculated both his and my price and was prepared to make an offer. Along the way, I had dropped some hint words that I picked up from your book and the dealer seemed to know I was knowledgeable in what I was doing. To my surprise, he came back to me with a bid only $75 higher than I would have offered. I signed right then and there. Your book saved me $8,000 and the wisdom of what to look for in a dealer has made me confident that I have done so. Thank you."

"We just finished reading the survival guide and our eyes have truly been opened to the realities of buying an RV. There is so much information in this guide that one should know before buying. Mr Randall is truly an expert on RVs and I do think with the information we now have, we will make the right choice in our purchase and we will save thousands of dollars off the list price as he says. I would have paid for more for this book had I only known all the value it has. Keep up the great work Bob you are truly doing the buying public a great service in sharing this insider information."

"Not only did I buy the guide, I used it and walked into the dealership with confidence, said all the "right things" as you instructed, and walked away the proud owner of a 2001 Damon Intruder with 8000 miles on it for $69000! I feel like I did well since they were asking $79,900. Its amazing how they did everything just like the book said. It was almost like a game for me to play and watch them respond right on cue! Thanks so much, I can truly say the book was money well spent!"

"Today, we looked at many units and had just about given up, but finally an Itasca seemed to fit the bill. So we purchased it. . . . The one piece of advice I found in your book was to argue the price and I did. I remembered your formula and I worked from that and fought for a larger price reduction. Yes, we did get it. I am very proud of me today, but that is only thanks to you. I would not usually have the nerve to fight.

"This book helped us to stay in control during the negotiations for our new Class A motorhome. We feel that we negotiated a fair price for the coach and it was in line with the what the book stated about wholesale vs. retail price of a coach. Prior to purchasing this book we were involved in a deal that went south and was a disaster. We had a hard time getting our down payment back when they could not deliver. This time as we entered into negotiations, we felt confident and entered on our terms."

"I wanted to let you know how useful your book was. It gave me the information and I ended up paying 12% over dealer cost. Your book took all of the anxiety out of the negotiation process and I ended up with a fair transaction for all parties. Many Thanks."

"We saved a little over $10,000; the dealer made $3,000 for a phone call to the factory rep. He is happy. We are happy. A lot of our happiness comes from reading your book."   

"This guide. . . explains the ins and outs of the industry, the best time to buy, and finally the purchasing process, where you can save thousands of dollars. We found this guide very easy to follow and when my wife and I applied his step by step instructions, by the time negotiations were over we had saved thousands of dollars! Bob even taught us how to receive more thousands in the value of our trade. It was a great feeling knowing we had the confidence to walk into the sales office being one-up on the dealer and their sales staff." 

"We really want to thank you. We pick up our new RV tomorrow. We got a Class C Gulfstream 2002 Conquest Sport Model 6316S RV Motor Home. We got 21% off the MSRP. Believe me we were not savvy when it came to negotiating before reading the book. We were not savvy to anything about buying big ticket items before reading your book. We each read the RV Buyers Survival Guide twice. We took notes before going to the dealer. Instead of the buying process being a nightmare, it was a dream. I have written down the few things that need to be corrected before we pick it up tomorrow and have made it clear that we will not sign the loan papers until all is as it should be."

"I am very pleased with the guide, and would have paid more for it, since it will probably save me much more when I am in the process of buying a travel trailer. Yes,the print size is excellent, especially for the many folks who are senior citizens and need a slightly larger print size. I would highly recommend the guide to anyone who is thinking of becoming an RV owner."

"This publication provides a good overview of the choices and decisions to be made in purchasing any size RV. I found it especially helpful when it came time to negotiate a deal on a new RV. Bob gives details on typical dealer markups and lets you know how to figure a fair price. He also gives step by step advice on how to negotiate with the dealer. I felt much more confident in my negotiations and knew I walked out with a good deal. This book can save you lots of grief and money!"
