Meeks Rv Center

I picked up my 2013 Lance 1575 on June 7, so this review is over-​due:). We actually put a significant deposit on the TT about 10 days earlier and then went hunting for a pickup truck. We dealt with Tracie for the «sales process» … but to our delight, there was zero hard-​core sales process … only help and information. My wife and I are in love with Tracie’s style. The entire dealing with Meek’s was top-​notch, first class care and concern for their customers. When I picked our TT on June 7, I met Mr. Meek. What a straighter-​shooter, kind and honest gentleman. No wonder that Meeks has such a good reputation. It was other reviewers comments that had me travel from my home in San Jose to check out Meeks. I live much closer to a dealer in the Morgan Hill/​Gilroy area and had a negative experience trying to buy a TT… that was how/​why I ended up at Meeks. Imagine my shock and surprise when on the day of picking up the TT I got a call from Tracie. I had also purchased a weight distribution ant-​sway hitch from Meeks and was bringing a certified check for my balance payment which included the hitch cost. Tracie informed me that she did not know the used TT included a weight dist. ant-​sway hitch!!! So when I got there Mr. Meek wrote me a check for $ 550 to refund my hitch cost. Can you imagine!!! Many dealers would have just remained silent and sold me my new hitch. Such honesty and integrity is remarkable. I went to a full service campground immediately after picking up the TT and everything works perfectly. The TT is almost like new and I am very pleased. They spent 3 hours with me on pickup to make sure I understood everything about my Lance 1575. Mr Meeks son Kevin (I think that was his name) and Ben did an excellent job. I had no issues or surprises while camping. If you want to do business with quality, HONEST people go to Meeks RV Center!!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Meeks, and Kevin the owner. I’m a woman and not used to doing mechanical things. When I got my new RV I had a few questions, and a couple of warranty repairs. Kevin, and Meeks were super helpful, and fast in getting things taken care of. I had a little run in with a tall tree, and they repaired it for almost nothing! Everyone I show the picture to was amazed. They are honest, fast, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a Lance. Which I also LOVE! :)

I recently sustained some damage to my 1191. I contacted a number of RV dealers for repairs and experienced much reluctance to do the work. When I contacted Meeks, they were happy to help. After meeting Kevin and Mike at Meeks they reassured me that they would be able to repair my TC. They communicated in a timely manner, and offered a reasonable repair estimate. They did the repair up to my expectations and in a timely manner. Tracy in the office was a pleasure to meet. She made us feel at home during the repairs. Kudos to all at Meeks.

This is a pre-​sales review… I visited meeks today. I’m considering a few options. Toy hauler or truck camper. In both cases Lance is my go to brand. Anyway, I visited Meeks today and was very pleased with the pre-​sales experience. The sales staff was knowledgeable, courteous, and did not do the high pressure game so many others do. Their inventory and knowledge of the Lance product line was spot on.
I’ve visited dealers in Nevada and California. So far, these guys are my favorite. This will be the first place I go once I get my current trailer sold and it’s time to buy the next one. I’ll keep the reviews coming as the process progresses.

We are full time RVers and travel in our new Lance 1172. As with any new RV you have to shake the bugs out and finding a dealer that can address the problem can be hard to find. Most tell you two or more weeks. Not Pat Meeks. This small family run dealership took us right in and fixed the problem. He was very busy getting ready for an RV show but had Mike look at the slide; knew what was wrong and a half hour later — fixed. If you are in the market defiantly come see Pat Meeks RV

I spoke with the owner prior to stopping in while in town on business. Seemed nice enough. He said the following week the camper I wanted would be coming in and he would give me a call. I never heard back so I called and spoke to the son. He said they had delivered and that I could come up, take a detailed look along with setting it on my truck to make sure it would handle the load. I called again that Friday setting an appointment for Sat. morning as I was driving six hours round trip. When I got there a salesman greeted me, I said why I was there, and he said there was no way they had time for that. I asked to speak to the owner who came out and said they were to busy delivering sold trailers, ending with a curt sorry; and he walked away. He didn’t know I had brought another potential buyer but at that point I wouldn’t buy ice water on a hot day from this company. What a real company owner (of which I am one) would do was graciously apologize, see if we would go get an early lunch (maybe even offering to buy) and see if we would come back. Their attitude was pretty much kiss my xxx. If a company will treat an obvious serious buyer that poorly, how would one ever expect good service after the sale. I have also filed a complaint with the manufacture as they should know the type of people who are representing their product. The good news is, I have found through more research that the Palomino pop up camper I was looking at is really a piece of crap and I am so glad I did not purchase one. Moral of the story; crappy dealers apparently sell crappy merchandise.

My wife and I searched for the right Lance Camper for over 6 months; we visited the 4 So Cal Lance Dealerships (Galaxy, American truck camper shell, Richardson RV, and Richard’s) and 1 dealership up in Reno. We fall in love with an 865 Lance that Meeks had on their lot and we were amazed by their customer service we received when we were window shopping. We returned home to think about the purchase and made the decision to purchase our new Lance from Meeks due to the price and the service. We visited a lot of dealerships, the other dealers couldn’t compare to the Meek’s pricing and service. We drove up to Meeks (7 hour drive) on a weekend and they got us set-​up on a Saturday afternoon, so we can enjoy the Delta that for the weekend before we headed home with our new Lance Camper. There is no question that we would return to Meeks even though it is 7 hours from our home for service or parts (or maybe a new Lance down the road). Great staff and we had an outstanding experience purchasing our new camper from Meeks.

These people advertised a 2015 trailer on
for $ 1.00. Yes, that’s right. I called on July 9, 2014, at approximately 5:20 pm. The idiot that picked up the phone told me it was obviously a typo and told me I was wasting his time, because it was afterhours. He asked if that was seriously what I wanted to talk about. He acted like I was the stupid one for inquiring about the price advertised! He was the rudest person I have ever talked to over the phone, especially when they don’t even know who I am. I have never had such terrible customer service over the phone.
I work for a huge company and customer service is all I do. He was rude, started yelling at me, and the sad thing is that I would have come down and looked at their selection but now I would never set foot in that place. I am in the market for a small camper trailer this summer and he could have been friendly or nice about it.
Beware of bad salesmanship and a terrible attitude here. I sincerely do not know how these people stay in business. Take your business elsewhere, as these people do not know how to treat a potential customer, especially sight unseen. Never again.
It is obvious they do not train their employees correctly, to treat potential customers with courtesy at all times. They just don’t care about repeat business or their reputation, obviously.
And as for the other reviews gushing about being treated like ‘family’, I would never treat my family the way I was treated this evening. Thats the truth.
Update July 11, 2014. After emailing the owners I have received no apology for the treatment I was given nor a phone call. Bottom line, Meeks rv doesn’t care how they are perceived and take no steps to rectify a potential customers terrible experience. Not a peep from these people. Just unbelievable. Customer service grade F.

We just bought our Trailmanor from them today! First of all this is unusual RV for CA and most dealers go like «trail what??» The Meeks’ staff not only know the RV type, they also know how to set it up & operate. Furthermore, since our unit was used, the staff made everything in their power to feel the RV like new. If something is missing or loose they fix it or order new part. They even clean it per my request, although they didn’t like it :-) thank you Kevin!
But what I want to say here that the most valuable thing they have is their attitude toward clients and relationship between staff. OMG! My husband & I were trilled with thief respect to each other. They are all so polite & nice. Feels like a family! They will work with you to «make it working» including price negotiation.
As we got our RV we found that our brakes control in the vehicle locks the RV brakes. Other dealers would just send us to fix it somewhere else. But Meeks’ staff did it by themselves at no charge!
I would highly recommend them to others RV buyers. Like them a lot! Thanks guys for being so helpful & understanding.

We really wanted to buy a Lance RV and went to Meeks several times. After much researching, we found one in Nipomo which was a better deal. We picked it up from Trailer Hitch RV and they did the hitch, brakes, walk-​through, etc. and were very informative and helpful, as any RV dealer should be.
Recently, we needed service and called the local Lance dealer Meek’s RV in Acampo. They asked us where we bought our Lance and said that we should take our Lance back to the dealer where we purchased it, they refused to service our Lance even though they are a Lance dealer.
We called the Lance Factory in Lancaster and spoke to them about the situation. They informed us that any Lance dealership would work on it and the gentleman there took matters into his own hands and called Meeks RV personally. He called us back and said they agreed to make an appointment with us and to call them back. We called Meek’s service again and again they said that we did not buy our Lance at Meek’s so they would not service our Lance.
I was under the impression that any Ford dealer will service my Ford but apparently, Meeks RV does not adhere to that train of thought.

My husband and I had been researching and looking for a new Lance trailer. We had gone to RV shows and visited a couple of other dealerships. Once we met the guys from Meeks we knew we would buy our trailer with them. They treat you like family, ensure the purchasing process is smooth and easy and that you are getting the best deal that you can.
We went to pick up our trailer today and they walked us through the entire rig from outside to inside. Showed all the the little tricks of the trade how to properly use all the equipment. They happily fixed the few little cosmetic issues with no muss and no fuss. They made us feel like we were important and not just a number. One of the best things was they were able to get a great deal on the loan, even better then we had originally been able to aquire.
We would definatly buy from them again and will send all our friends and contacts their way!

Stopped into Meeks RV, just south of Galt on the 99. There was a Lance Camper there I saw on-​line and wanted to see it up close. While I wasn’t «sold» on it, I enjoyed asking questions of Pat the owner of the business. He was very informative as to the sort of truck and ties downs (I’m a newbie) that I should be in the market for. He even offered to share his lunch with me! I will keep an eye on Pat’s inventory as I move into the buying phase.

Last year I was in the market for a new travel trailer, which I purchased from Meeks RV. Recently, I had my first servicing issue, and again I called on Meeks.
First, the purchase. After visiting another dealer that was closer to my home, I felt they were asking too much for the model I wanted, so I called Pat Meeks. His asking price was much more reasonable, and in line with what my research told me was a fair price to pay. But I had a concern about the configuration and space of my planned storage spot and access to that. Pat took the dimensions, taped off a replica of them in his lot, and practiced maneuvering the trailer to make sure it would work for me — and this is before I even drove up to meet him. When we did pick it up, he and his crew were extremely friendly and made sure that we, being first-​time owners, were comfortable with the RV before leaving.
Ten months later I had a warranty issue that needed servicing. Again, I first tried the other dealer who is closer to me. After wasting 3 weeks on the phone with the guy trying to arrange to take it in, I came to the realization that they had no interest in helping me (probably because, since it was under warranty, they were limited in what they could charge). I took it to Meeks, and their service team (headed by Pat’s son, Kevin), were again friendly, fixed the problem, and made sure to ask me if there was anything else needing servicing.
The guys at Meeks RV gave made the process of purchasing and owning my first trailer easy and pleasant, and they have a customer for life.
