My wife and I found your web site while shopping on-line earlier this spring.  After checking out your web as well as as a few others, we even took a weekend to travel through part of Michigan and check out the different dealers and their reception with the public.  We were impressed with both the people we met at your location as well as your inventory.  At the completion of the trip your location was the dealer we decided to go with. Having owned a Cougar 5th wheel for a number of years, we wanted to stay with the Keystone line and therefore the only question was “which model had the floor plan we thought we needed?”…………This brought us to the Mountaineer 326RLQ.  The salesman we dealt with was more than helpful when it came to helping us with the special order that we decided to make due to the options that we wanted…Canadian compliance, duel pain glass, washer/dryer, extra roof vent fans in the bath and bedroom and a CLASS 3 hitch on the rear.

“We just really love our new Passport Express. Each camping trip, we enjoy it more and more! Our rep was Jim Snyder. We purchased our Sea Pine pop up from him in 2006. So we contacted him again when we started to look at travel trailers. In our opinion, he is the very best. All departments are very organized and efficient. We appreciate that in this day and time.”

- Mr. and Mrs. Williams

“This is our first time buying a travel trailer and it has been an excellent experience! The demo process is invaluable for answering all of our questions. Thank you!”

As you know, we purchased a Coleman Avalon pop-up from American RV.  Jon Kortman was our Sales Consultant.  Jon is a very personable individual and very knowledgeable when it comes to campers.  He answered our questions and provided information in pleasant, no pressure manner.  It was refreshing to have a person in Jon’s position (sales) treat us as “fellow campers” rather than pitch a high pressure sale.  I have and will continue to recommend Jon and American RV to our friends who might be interested in buying a camper.  We genuinely enjoyed our purchase process at American RV.  Everyone from sales to  unit orientation (unexpected Plus!) were very decent, helpful and polite.  Again, it was the friendly nature of the staff that made the process enjoyable.  I would not change a thing with the process…you are lucky to have such a crew in this day and age!

We are happy to have done business with American RV…it was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. We are excited with our new camper and are already planning events for next year!

Kindest Regards,

Jon & Ruth Overway and Family
