**ONE STAR — Nearly Three Months Without Our Coachmen - Advexe
**ONE STAR — Nearly Three Months Without Our Coachmen Galleria, and Now It's Not Even Drivable!**
We dropped our Coachmen Galleria Mercedes-Benz Sprinter motorhome off at **Giant Recreation World – Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach, Florida**, at the end of July. Today is October 14, and we STILL do not have our camper.
For nearly three months, we have dealt with conflicting diagnoses, insurance-related delays, unavailable parts, poor communication, and department after department passing responsibility to someone else.
We have already missed three planned events, and now two more upcoming trips are in jeopardy.
Last week, we arranged to pick up our motorhome today, even though the shower repair was still incomplete. We were willing to travel without a functioning shower rather than miss another event. They knew we were coming.
**What we arrived to find was absolutely unacceptable.**
The power had been left off, there was mold in the refrigerator, dirt and debris throughout the interior, and our personal belongings had been moved around and carelessly left out of place.
The shower was filthy with construction debris. The trim and moldings removed to inspect the battery connections beneath the driver's seat had not been properly reattached. The rear cushions removed to access the inverter and transfer switch were simply thrown back into place. The original electrical issue did not appear to have been properly addressed.
Even the windshield replacement was left unfinished, with installation tape still attached to the exterior long enough to bake onto the glass and surrounding paint.
**But the absolute worst part? OUR MOTORHOME WAS IN LIMP MODE AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN HOME!**
It was NOT in limp mode when we delivered it in July.
After having our vehicle for nearly three months, they apparently had not even adequately checked its mechanical condition or road-tested it before our scheduled pickup.
Now we are being told that Mercedes will need to become involved to address a mechanical issue that was not present when we dropped it off.
We had no choice but to leave our motorhome AGAIN.
What is most frustrating is the complete lack of accountability. Every department has a different explanation, and nobody seems responsible for overseeing the repairs, inspecting the completed work, or ensuring the vehicle is returned in acceptable condition.
This is an expensive motorhome that we purchased to travel and enjoy events scheduled well in advance. Instead, it has spent nearly three months sitting at Giant Recreation World while we receive one excuse after another.
**We were willing to accept an unfinished shower repair. We were NOT willing to accept a filthy, improperly reassembled motorhome that was no longer mechanically drivable.**
The delays are frustrating enough. But the complete disregard for the condition of our property, the lack of quality control, and the failure to have the vehicle ready for a scheduled pickup are inexcusable.
As of October 14, we still have no camper, no clear resolution, and additional travel plans being jeopardized.
**Extremely disappointed in the service department and overall management at Giant Recreation World – Destination Daytona, Ormond Beach.**
