The three lots
Mid America RV carries the highest rating at 4.6 from 413 reviews and focuses on used travel trailers. Colaw RV Sales draws the most feedback, 771 reviews at 4.3, and is the only one of the three listing new travel trailers alongside used. Coachlight RV Sales & Service rates 4.3 from 123 reviews and adds motorhomes to its used and travel trailer mix. All three handle financing, service, and parts in house. If you want a new unit, Colaw is your stop. If you are shopping used and want the strongest review score, start at Mid America. Coachlight is the choice if a motorhome might share the driveway.
Shopping used
Every lot here sells used trailers, which means condition matters more than model year. Ask for the maintenance file and look for water stains around the ceiling vents and slide seals. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent RV tech is money well spent on a used trailer, even one from a dealer with a good service department. Get financing pre-approval from your own bank before you talk numbers, so you can compare it to what the dealer offers. Off-season shopping in late fall or winter often gives you more room to negotiate.
Service and the walk-through
All three dealers run service and parts departments, which is worth confirming before you buy. A dealer that can get you in for warranty work or a slide adjustment without a long haul is a real advantage. At delivery, take the walk-through slowly. Have them demonstrate the water heater, furnace, awning, and slide operation, and record it on your phone. Ask how long service appointments are currently booked out. That answer tells you more about ownership than the sales floor does.
