Petite Auto & RV
Family-run Beach Park dealer specializing in preowned Class B RVs and camper vans, rated 4.9 from 159 reviews.
Six Airstream dealers serve Illinois, and the average rating sits at 4.2, which tells you the field is decent but uneven. Five of the six sell used units, and five carry motorhomes, travel trailers and camper vans alongside the Airstream name. Four handle consignment and four buy rigs outright, so a trade is realistic almost anywhere on this list. The spread in reviews is wide enough to matter more than the star average.

The map runs from Roscoe up near the Wisconsin line down to Springfield in the middle of the state, with Wauconda and Braidwood filling in the Chicago orbit and Airstream of Chicago handling the city itself. Petite Auto & RV rounds out the group. Four of the six offer financing on site, which is convenient, though I would still walk in with a pre-approval from my own bank so the dealer has something to beat. Drive time matters here. Chicago traffic turns a 40 mile trip into two hours, so pick your dealership by which side of the metro you live on before you fall in love with a floorplan online.
The four Camping World locations, Roscoe, Wauconda, Springfield and Braidwood, post by far the heaviest review counts, from 549 up to 2,052, and each stocks new and used across motorhome, travel trailer, camper van, toy hauler, pop-up and class A, plus Airstream. Every one of them runs service, parts and consignment too. That volume cuts both ways: more inventory to compare, more buyers competing for the same unit, and a service department that stays busy. Ask how far out the service calendar is booked before you sign.
Petite Auto & RV holds the highest rating on the list at 4.9 from 159 reviews, which is a real sample, not a handful of friends. It sells motorhomes, camper vans and Airstreams and offers delivery. Airstream of Chicago sits at 2.9 from just 29 reviews, the weakest score here, though it does run service, parts, trade and delivery. A thin review count can go either way, so read the recent ones yourself rather than trusting the number. On a used Airstream, book your own pre-purchase inspection before money changes hands, and do the full walk-through at delivery with everything running.
Six dealerships appear on this list, spread from Roscoe and Wauconda in the north through Chicago and Braidwood to Springfield. Four of the six offer financing and four accept consignment or buy used rigs outright.
The average across the six dealerships is 4.2. Petite Auto & RV leads at 4.9 from 159 reviews, while Airstream of Chicago trails at 2.9 from 29 reviews. The Camping World stores sit between 4.0 and 4.6.
Five of the six dealerships list used inventory, including all four Camping World locations and Airstream of Chicago. Only one dealer on the list works from new stock alone, so a used Airstream should be easy enough to find.
Late fall and winter tend to be slower for RV dealers, which can make for easier negotiating and more attention from the service department. Inventory is thinner then, so call ahead to confirm a specific unit is still on the grounds before making the drive.
