dblr....Rennie 224 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Has anyone had dealing with this dealer? They were bought out by Camping World, who I do no like to deal with, but they have a unit we are very interested in. Seeing it is over a 8 hour drive for us and there are not many of this brand unit available In the floor plan we like I am trying to get all the info I can on them. Thanks for any help.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 We visited both Tom Johnson locations when were looking for our moho. Back then they were decent. Didn't know they were bought out by Camping World. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I know of several friends in NC that bought T@Bs from Tom Johnson many years ago. They were pleased with their purchases, but don't know much about later service. We had a T@B rally in nearby Marion, NC, and Tom Johnson came up to the campground with some T@Bs, and the "then" brand new T@DA (now discontinued), and hosted a wine and cheese night for us. They also had a campground right there, and a few stayed there upon arrival in Marion before heading to the rally campground. I wandered in there and bought a couple of parts. But other than that, don't know much more about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 We had a Rally there last year. Great group to work with. Hope CW doesn't mess it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duane 152 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Like the others have mentioned, TJ has 2 locations... one is in Charlotte beside the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the other is in Marion. If you come down make sure you go to the location where the unit is located. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't know they were bought out by Camping World.CW is buying everything up. ..I thinks it's how they get the good franchise agreements (i.e. Jayco) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TN22.....Brady 22 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 CW is buying everything up. ..I thinks it's how they get the good franchise agreements (i.e. Jayco) Agreed, but it is also how they maintain or increase their customer base. No need to take care of the ones they have they can just "buy" more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Heard last night that the TJ name will remain at the Marion Location even though it is owned by CW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Heard last night that the TJ name will remain at the Marion Location even though it is owned by CW So, even CW doesn't want to be know as CW..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So, even CW doesn't want to be know as CW.....No, there is a another CW not too far from the TJ location is what was explained to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 No, there is a another CW not too far from the TJ location is what was explained to me. Okay... well, Chick-fil-A has locations within a few miles of each other, but they do not have different names. Same with Walmart... McDonalds... etc. I have to question CW's explanation. Maybe they are sticking with the original name to help with location confusion, but a quick google search showed that Tom Johnson has some decent reviews... my guess is CW wants to capitalize on that. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. I just found them to be dishonest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. I just found them to be dishonest.No disagreement there. The RV manufactures may also be in the picture since many won't let dealers compete against each other brand wise within a 50 mile radius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you're right. How many people would want to deal with TJ after they find out it's owned by CW? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
