Camping World fined $3.5 million for misleading pricing fiasco

December 17, 2024

Camping World challenged its customers, “Dare to compare!” Now the results of that challenge have led to a $3.5 million settlement that Camping World must pay after Oregon investigators found the big RV dealer’s claim bilked buyers with inflated charges. Camping World may owe you money.

Multiple Camping World dealerships in Oregon were involved. Dealerships drew in customers with huge discounts, but they made up for it. How so?

Since those charges were already included in the advertised price, in essence, customers never got their “dare to compare” advertised price. RV Travel
