The motor home is fine. The trip home was a little scary until I settled down a little. You have to change your whole way of driving.

How is the motor home???
no problem -- it is so much easier to tow than our old one I can't believe it. I backed it in to our garage the first time 90 degree turn off the road!
thanks

How did the ride home go??

Hi Alan.
Yes, we got everything home OK and loaded up all of our stuff. We took it to the storage lot yesterday and it fits in the space which is good, although it did take more effort to back it in than I am used to. Thanks again for everything and let me know how our old trailer is doing. Thanks, Scott.

Hi Mike,
Before I start I want to give you some back ground. I am Married and have three kids. My wife is a stay at home mom. We arranged it by being very thrifty. As you know I work 6 days a week, That's why I always drop the trailer off to you on Sundays. My kids are very bright and well Loved. I contribute this to the hard work that my wife does staying home with them. We saved to buy this trailer, You do not know how much fun we have camping. Its our way of spending quality family time.

Some times we get so caught up in daily activities that we forget to just say Thanks.
So would you be kind enough to Thank the Rep from Thor. And let him know that there are still people out here that greatly appreciate kindness. I know that he did not have to cover this, Tell him that I have some happy children here with giant smiles knowing that we can continue our camping.
And as for you and Alan, Words just can not express the gratitude that I owe you both. I just hope someday that I can personally contribute something to your lives, like you have to me..
Once again...
Thank you, So much...

Dear Alan,

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with the service your staff gave me last Friday. I had a Winnebago recall issue with my propane tank leaking. I called Family RV and Phil took my call. He asked a few questions and immediately ordered what I needed to make the changes. I live about 5 hours away from Family RV now and was coming into the area for a memorial service. I brought the Journey in and Ray did an amazing job of juggling work around to accommodate my needs. This is the second time I have had this wonderful service from Ray. Your whole team just pulls together and takes care of your customers.

Your staff at Family RV is the best I’ve come across in my travels. Congratulations and thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Richard Morwood

It was nice seeing you today. I stopped by after finishing with Phil (paying for the DVD I had asked you install with the original purchase), but couldn't find you afterward to thank you. There is one last item to close out which is the shared revenue on the August rental. I still don't know how that gets handled. I thought a check might show up some time between August when the rental occurred and now, but haven't seen anything. Let me know what I should expect.

I want to compliment you, your business and employees (Phil, Mike, Jerry, Indie, Woody, and others). You folks have handled our purchase and subsequent requests so well. Everything I had asked to be addressed was taken care of completely. Thank you. You have a terrific crew. Everyone is upbeat and positive and bends over backward to please. You should have a very successful business for some time to come with a business philosophy and crew like you have.

When you remarked that you had sold me the unit for too little and I replied that you might get another chance, I was serious. If I am in the market for another unit anytime in the future, you are certain to get my business. And if I know anyone that wants to purchase a new or used RV, I'll send them to you (still working on my brother, haven't given up there).

Thanks again,

Bruce and Kimberly Kackman

Many thanks,

Dear Mr. Cezar,
It has been a busy month since we took our first RV trip from San Jose to Washington State. We are still talking about how much fun we had and how great everything went! Our children (ages 22 and 18) agree that we should have started Rving when they were younger. Oh the places we could have gone....
We all thoroughly enjoyed ALL aspects of the trip. We were nervous about being able to maneuver the 30 feet but it was surprisingly easy. We also were nervous about "hooking up" and using those hoses but it, too, was easy. Even finding RV parks when we didn't have a reservation was a snap. We can't wait to do the next one! Thank you for some great memories!
Sincerely,
Mark and Sandy Lewis

Hi Mike and Alan:

Just thought I would send you an email to let you know that the 2002 Winnebago Journey DL that we bought from you guys has been running great and virtually problem free! We have over 12,000 miles on it at this point with quite a few summer trips planned.

As always, if you need a reference for either a Winnebago product or for Family RV, please feel free to use me. You guys have been great to us and the coach has been fantastic.

Glad to hear you are doing well as is Family RV. Have a great summer.

Hi Alan
We have rented a 37ft bunkhouse trailer from you for the past four summers June-Aug and are getting ready to place our order again for the coming summer. I did want to pass on a few comments on the trailer we had last summer which was a Hornet by Keystone. It was nowhere near as easy a trailer to maintain and was a marked step down from the models we had in previous years. I think we have had Wildwoods and Tahoes in previous summers. The main problem on the Hornet was that everything was just cheaply built and kept coming apart. I had my maintenance guy up there 2-3 times each week to make minor repairs and try to keep things together until we turned it in at the end of the summer. We really pride ourselves on taking GREAT care of anything we rent and we try to keep everything well maintained - but this Hornet really was too much work. Major challenges were

Screen Door - cheap, would not stay on tracks, hardware kept loosening up, constant problem Bar Stool - we must have reglued them a dozen times - just would not stay together Moulding - easliy 20 different pieces of moulding popped off and required re-glueing Gray Water Tank Indicator - constantly indicated 1/4 full Sparker on stove never worked Wall coverings - began to separate & required regluing

Nothing really major but really a constant challenge to keep everything up to our standard. I would strongly recommend that you go back to other trailer companies and would request that if possible we not have a Hornet this coming summer.

We talked a couple of years ago about the possibility of you all obtaining one unit with the master bedroom rigged with two twins instead of the queen. This would allow us to have males & females in the trailer because we could put 2 males in the master and then 3 gals in the bunks. We would really prefer this style if you could make it work in your rental program.

Thanks again for all the help and support in the past 4 summers. Your people are GREAT and we enjoy working with them. I have recommended you to many folks and I think the The East Bay Regional Park District has rented several units from you all. Mike in maintenance is a super star and always very helpful. We also really liked Karen when she was over in rental and we miss working with her - but everyone else in rental is great - Sabrina & Christina. Raquel in service is also super. I have also talked a couple of times with Woody in sales when I was thinking about buying a unit so I
could have the twins in the master bedroom and he is great. You should be
proud of them all and they are a credit to your organization.

Thanks again for your help.

We have hundreds of letters, e-mails, pictures of our service after the sale. Price is important but value of the purchase is even more important. What is value, when you get the service, product quality and a fair price for this. Sometimes the lowest price dealer is not the best value. Remember RV's need service, they are not a throw away item. Look at the service department, talk to the service people, because that is who you are dealing with after the purchase!!!

We have a Keystone Laredo 29GS 5th wheel trailer that we bought from Best RV in Manteca. At the time that we bought our Keystone Laredo, there was no one in the San Jose area selling them... bummer :-(

We needed to have some work done on our 5th wheel and we heard about Family RV in San Jose and we tried them. We have been very happy with their service department.

Their service department is very helpful, courteous and attentative. We had no problem getting in touch with the service department at anytime, whether it was by phone or email. They resolved our problems in a timely manner too.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Thank you,
Shirley and Michael Henson
