Problems with our new travel trailer Warning for anyone who is potentially looking to buy a travel trailer from Giant Recreational World in Palm Bay on Culver street. My husband and I rec Warning for anyone who is potentially looking to buy a travel trailer from Giant Recreational World in Palm Bay on Culver street. My husband and I recently bought our first Travel Trailer from them on Wednesday, August 21,2019. We were told they stand behind their used trailers and inspect them before they sell them to customers. God forbid you find something once you sign the paperwork to purchase. We bought a used 2017 Aerolite Luxury Class 284BHSL. We looked though the walk through with a fine tooth comb (or so we thought). Noticing a few random ants on the walk through, which I mentioned to the person completing the walk through with us, he dismissed them saying it was not a huge issue. (That should’ve been our first clue to run the other way). We also noticed a discoloration on the floor towards the back. He assured us it wasn’t water damage and no soft spots were noted in their thorough inspection. (The second clue, and our mistake for not walking the travel trailer with bare feet). My husband asked to climb on the roof to check the seals before we signed the paperwork for closing. It took them forever to arrange this but they eventually let him do so and he noticed a few areas that needed to be re-sealed. They completed the request before we signed. I questioned the rest of the seals and they said they inspected them. We signed and left with our new travel trailer. (Note for other potential buyers, the only way to make sure the seals are comply intact is to have a pressure test performed, and it costs an extra $275.00 at this dealership. Which I would’ve gladly paid out of pocket on the spot if they told me this was the only way to be sure the seals were intact before we signed the paperwork. This information was not relayed us at the time of purchase). When we got home and set it up we noticed a soft spot in the flooring towards the back of the trailer between the bathroom and the rear bunk beds. (Day of purchase) My husband called the dealer and left a message with our salesman Steve Yoder (who has been amazing and the ONLY person throughout this whole nightmare that is trying to advocate on our behalf) We also noticed that the ants were a bigger concern. When we turned on the stove and vent a ton of carpenter ants came swarming out of the woodwork (my husband also called about this issue). We were able to schedule an appointment on Thursday, August 29, 2019 to bring it back to the service department to inspect the soft spot on the floor and get rid of the ants. Forward to today Friday, September 13, 2019 we have come to find out that we need to dump more money into this trailer we just purchased because the seals I asked about when we bought the trailer were found to be leaking after they performed a pressure test. We are still currently waiting to hear about the floor at this point and whether they think there is any water damage from the leaks they’ve found. At this point my husband had asked if they were willing to work with us on a return and would agree to purchase a new travel camper at the full asking price listed on their site. A few minutes ago we received a call back stating they were not willing to work with us on the return. They are wanting to make a huge profit on the sale of this travel trailer three times over from us as the customer, and then again on the return of this travel trailer, and then a third time when we buy a new trailer from them at full asking price. My husband and I are very disappointed in the integrity of this dealership. They have lost my business as a future customer and any referrals and or recommendations for them. Hopefully this information can help any future buyers from going through our situation. More

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD I took my RV in for yearly maintenance program end of June. I am still waiting to get my RV back. I have had to call to find out the repairs on my R I took my RV in for yearly maintenance program end of June. I am still waiting to get my RV back. I have had to call to find out the repairs on my RV. Every time I have called it was a different story of what is happening with the repairs. When parts do come in it will take another 1 to 1 1/2 weeks to do the repair. No sense of urgency from anyone there. I do not recommend this place for any service work. Buyer BEWARE - I would check around before buying. More

It started with a detailed email from her stating that she had just received a 2017 LTV UNITY MB in a trade in. I called her immediately and arranged to meet her in 30 minutes and did. I'm 75 years old and have years and years of vehicle purchases and she is without doubt the most professional, sincere and detailed sales person with whom I've ever dealt. She was totally responsive to all my questions, took notes, and closed on every question and issue I raised. I will certainly seek her out on any future purchases. More
BUYER BEWARE! TERRIBLE SERVICE & ATTITUDES I would give zero stars if I could. Giant Recreation World is the absolute worst and I regret buying a trailer from these folks and if I could go back I would give zero stars if I could. Giant Recreation World is the absolute worst and I regret buying a trailer from these folks and if I could go back in time and change that. I would. All they care about it selling you a vehicle and getting you out the door. You have to call at least 4-5 times to get anyone in their service department to answer the phone. Plan on booking any appointments at least a month in advance, longer when snowbirds are in the area. Plan on them keeping your vehicle for several weeks (last year we had to cancel a trip because out trailer wan't ready after being with their service department for almost a month because of shower screws) and never getting updates. Any news I received, either my husband or myself had to call. Today, when my husband went to pick up our trailer for the yearly maintenance, the battery was dead and the service departments response was "what do you want us to do about it?" It really is unbelievable how these folks treat their customers and I will go out of my way to tell everyone I know to NEVER buy a vehicle from Giant Recreation World or get one serviced from them. They can shove their lifetime warranty up their xxxxx because we will NEVER be bringing our trailer back there for ANYTHING. More

Excellent sales and service We have purchased two RVs from Giant Recreation World. Both times the experience and after the sale service has been excellent and continues to be ex We have purchased two RVs from Giant Recreation World. Both times the experience and after the sale service has been excellent and continues to be excellent. This is a family owned business where the owners and their employees are all like family. The dealerships (3 locations), at great expense to the McNamara family sponsor a VIP camping club. Every month there are campouts in different locations around Florida and the neighboring states. After selection and price, the camping club was the most important reason we bought not one, but two RVs from Giant. We knew we would use our RV more often because of the campouts. We have met some wonderful people and stayed at campgrounds we wouldn't have visited on our own. We highly recommend this dealership! More
Service Department very good! After waiting a month and a half for a scheduled appointment, Chuck in the service department and Steve as a service technician excelled! During After waiting a month and a half for a scheduled appointment, Chuck in the service department and Steve as a service technician excelled! During the time they had the RV, Chuck worked hard to let me know how they were doing and what they were finding. He returned all my calls as I recalled a few additional items I needed them to examine and called them in to him. He also offered me his condolences when he was unable to get the folks whom I had bought a $4,000 "end-to-end" warranty on my Thor Hurricane coach I had purchased new from a different dealership in 2013 to pay for any of the required repairs...not surprised. Steve, the technician who effected the repairs, was very knowledgeable. Based on his extensive knowledge of RV systems, he quickly determined what needed repair based on the symptoms I reported and didn't charge me for some of the simpler repairs that were required. All his repairs were spot on. He also shared with me how he was able to effect some of the simpler repairs he made so I could do them myself should the re-occur. Overall an excellent experience (once I was finally able to get in to get the repairs I needed)! Recommend Giant Recreation World give Chuck and Steve a big raise and hire more like them so one doesn't have to wait a month and a half to get repairs made to their RV. More
