Awesome experience with Jeff Couchs, we bought on line from 8 hours away and it was worth the risk. They were great in helping us Canadians negotiate the import issues and were always patient with my many questions to prepare for the vehicle for the pick up and return. No one could touch their price and the extras that they threw in. Turn key situation for us. Highly recommended and worth the drive. I can see how the distance and the comments about them being busy could happen, we bought off season so they had lots of time for us, but I can see how they could get very busy and be less attentive as some of the comments mentioned.
Happy Podding!!

Couch's RV is where the r-pod experience began for many including my wife and I. Its also where the first r-pod forum started. Their dealership has been a big help for many in buying their r-pods in many ways. David

I just closed a deal on an Rpod from Couch's. I live outside of Ohio. Has anyone had any problems getting repair services (i.e. AC, Fridge, etc.) done with local Forest River shops once they took delivery of their Rpod from Couch?

We bought our r-pod from Couch's and had it serviced in south Florida with no problem at Camping World. David

David, Thanks for the response. Did you to call Couch to find the service center or did you just have it serviced at the closest Forest River location? Before I closed the deal with Couch some of the local dealers in my area told me I would not be able to get it serviced locally if I purchased from Couch.

Don't know what the problem is, but it sounds like local envy or sour grapes. I bought my pod in AL and had it serviced under warranty by two dealers in FL. One was Camping World. However, it's a good idea to call FR and clear it with their warranty dept. first.

We purchased our Rpod from an awesome dealer in Salt Lake City two years ago. At the RV show we attended last week, we were visiting with them and they told us that because of the high demand for their service department, they have had to make the rule that even if they carry a certain type of camper at their store, if you didn't buy it there, they can only service it between October and April. They said that their own customers were having to wait, and they didn't think that was fair. We thought that sounded perfectly reasonable. Guess it all depends on the policy of the dealer.

We bought from Couch's last spring. They were very professional to deal with. Had it delivered from Ohio to CT and still saved us a lot of money. Local dealer said we'd never get service. They even had a flunky from FR call me and tell me to buy local. When we got the pod the brakes only worked on one wheel. I brought it into another FR dealer (slightly further away) and he handled the problem no sweat - no questions - really quickly. The threat of not getting service was hollow. Since then, the other FR dealer has handled any work, parts, etc.
I'd buy from Couch again. |

Yup, don't worry about it. While the camper dealers are not the same as car dealers - which much service your car and often will service other brands, too - it shouldn't be hard to find a dealer that will do it.
