Buying an RV means trusting a dealer with a purchase that's supposed to last for years of trips, and the sales pressure at some lots can make that hard to judge in the moment. The RV dealers in Chicago on this page have collected over 4,500 reviews combined, and their ratings run from 4.0 up to 4.8, a real gap that says a lot about how differently these dealers treat customers after the sale.

Short answer: Rick's RV Chicago posts the highest rating on the page at 4.8 from 1,046 reviews, with customers describing over 20 years of repeat business. Camping World Wauconda carries the most reviews at 2,039, rated 4.4. Financing, trade-ins, and warranty repairs are standard across the larger dealers, so ask about service department turnaround before you sign.

Our take: The most reviews on this page by a wide margin, which comes with a wider spread of experiences too. Most detailed reviews describe a strong sales experience; if service speed matters most to you, ask about current wait times before buying.

Camping World Corporate Headquarters

4.1666 Google reviews

This Google listing is for Camping World's corporate headquarters in Lincolnshire, not a retail dealership. Reviews here reflect the company's broader customer service line and general brand experience rather than a specific local sales or service visit.

What people praise

  • A remote technical support line was praised for being knowledgeable and helpful when a local dealership's own help was lacking

Worth knowing

  • Multiple reviewers describe slow service response, high-pressure sales tactics, and communication breakdowns tied to specific Camping World locations elsewhere in the country

Our take: Worth knowing upfront that this listing is the corporate office rather than a Chicago-area lot, so it's less useful for judging any single local buying experience. The complaints reference other Camping World locations across the country, not this Chicago-area entry specifically.

Our take: The volume of detailed, positive first-time-buyer stories is notable, especially reviewers who compared it against other dealers first. The lower overall rating suggests a wider range of experiences than some competitors, so read a few of the critical reviews too before deciding.

How we score these dealers

Rating is the live Google average for each dealer. Review volume tracks how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others in this comparison. Confidence combines both, since a 4.8 from 1,046 reviews carries more weight than a 4.8 from 100. Recency checks how recently customers are still reviewing. None of these numbers can be bought or changed by a dealer.

What does an RV cost in Chicago (2026)?

RV pricing varies enormously by class, from a small travel trailer to a full Class A motorhome, and depends on financing terms, trade-in value, and dealer fees. Ask each dealer for an itemized quote that separates the vehicle price from freight, dealer prep, and add-on fees, since reviewers on this page specifically praised dealers who waived some of those charges.

Serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs

These dealers are spread across the Chicago metro area, from Wauconda and Lincolnshire in the north to Joliet, Frankfort, and Schererville, Indiana in the south, covering most of the region within an hour’s drive of the city. If you’re searching for an RV dealer near me in Chicago, all five fall within that radius.

What to ask before you buy an RV

  • What’s included in the out-the-door price, and are freight or dealer fees negotiable?
  • What warranty coverage comes with the unit, and how are claims processed?
  • How long does the service department typically take for repairs?
  • Will they do a full walkthrough and demo before you leave the lot?
  • Do they offer trade-in appraisals if you have an existing RV?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these RV dealers?

We pulled real Google Business ratings, review counts, and review text for RV and motorhome dealers serving the Chicago area, then ranked them on rating, review volume, and how recently customers have reviewed them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do these dealers also handle RV repairs?

Yes, most dealers on this page, including Camping World Wauconda, Rick’s RV Chicago, and Kunes RV of Chicagoland, offer service departments for repairs and warranty work alongside sales.

Is financing available at these dealers?

Yes, reviewers across multiple dealers on this page describe in-house financing teams helping secure loan rates directly at the dealership.

The bottom line

Rick’s RV Chicago has the strongest rating on this page and reviewers describing decades of repeat business, making it the safe default if service relationship matters most. For the widest selection and financing options, Camping World Wauconda has by far the most reviews. Whichever you choose, get the out-the-door price in writing before you sign anything.
