Very good people, I highly recommend them, they helped me with getting the camper I wanted. All the team members took really good care of me. Most definitely will choose Pete’s every every time!
I had them do an inspection of my new to me 2012 Reyo Winnebago. They did have to replace the inverter and lp regulator. I also had them do the maintenance on the slide, air conditioner, water heater and furnace. They did a great job getting everything ready for my new adventures. Thanks Daniel Leffel the service manager and Mike Shurlend the tech.
We searched nationally (we are in Wisconsin) for the floor plan and model year we wanted! We found it at Pete’s in Salem VA. Grand Design 2920BS. It’s our 1st night in it and we love it. All the staff @ Pete’s was great. Great service and price. If somehow our needs change we would definatly go back.
Keith L was particularly helpful in solving my RV issue. Parts worked perfectly. His extra install advice was very helpful. The whole service and parts department had always been informative and welcoming.
Needless to say Top Notch! Started dealing with them at a sales event at the Roanoke Civic Center and ended up buying a camper a week later. Easy to work with and kept us informed every step along the way!
