Hey Y'all
I was wondering, I would not go down to the local Chevy dealership to buy an oil filter, light bulb or sun shade for my Truck/Car. Thus it stands to reason (at least for me), that going to Camping World, which appears to be a RV Dealership, is not really the most cost effective place to purchase items needed to for our 5er. It may be that they are the only folks that carry what we need, but are they?
Where do y'all shop for stuff like awning clips/tie downs? Chemicals for the black tank? Cleaners for the roof / exterior? Locks for the king pin? And anything else somewhat specialized to maintaining/using a 5er?
I'm not looking for cheap substitutes, just wondering if there are other places to get what is needed at a reasonable price. Pep Boys/ O'Reilly's has most of the maint. stuff I need for my car as opposed to paying Dealership prices. So wondering if the same network applies to RV'ing. If it does not, that's fine. I don't want to sound like I'm being cheap, but also don't want to throw money away for no good reason. If I save 50 - 60 bucks, that's more money towards a new Rod and Reel!!! ;D
Thanks for any and all feedback folks.
