The Cozy Camper Podcast: Episode 23 - Bad RV Dealers

Michael Murphy Season 1 Episode 23

In Episode 23, Mike and Elizabeth dive into one of the most requested (and controversial) topics in the RV world: Bad RV Dealer behavior. From rushed walk-throughs to ignored warranty issues, they break down the patterns that frustrate buyers — and why not all of it is as malicious as it seems.

You’ll hear:

Why so many RV shoppers report negative dealer experiences

The systemic pressures that lead dealers to cut corners

Which behaviors are inexcusable… and which are (begrudgingly) understandable

How buyers can protect themselves with education, inspections, and realistic expectations

Why the RV industry doesn’t have to operate this way — and what better looks like

Mike and Elizabeth bring a balanced, insider-informed perspective — blending their experience as full-time RVers, certified inspectors, and everyday consumers. Whether you’re buying your first rig or you’ve been burned by a dealership before, this episode gives you clarity, empowerment, and a few laughs along the way.
