Review of General RV in Wayland, Michigan
We recently had the pleasure of working with General RV in Wayland, Michigan, and overall, it was a very positive experience. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what stood out and a few areas where there’s room for improvement.
What Stood Out
Wide Range of Options
General RV offers an impressive variety of choices, from their
Keep You Camping program - considered an “industry differentiator” because it prioritizes your ability to use your RV during peak camping season and educates owners on what truly needs immediate attention versus what can wait - to various extended warranties. Their willingness to work with customers and tailor options to individual needs really sets them apart.
Exceptional Team Members
• Marcus (Salesperson Extraordinaire): Marcus was fantastic. He patiently answered all our questions and helped us secure a great price. His expertise, honesty and friendly approach made the buying process smooth and enjoyable.
• Justin (Financier and “Cliff Talker”): Justin was incredibly patient with all our questions, especially when we raised concerns about General RV’s service department Yelp rating. He walked us through the financing options clearly and helped us understand everything thoroughly.
• Aaron (Parts Specialist): Aaron was straightforward and helpful, providing a clear list of must-have, nice-to-have, and cool items for our RV. His no-nonsense attitude was refreshing and very useful.
• Jim (Walk-Through Expert): Jim gave us a thorough walk-through of the RV and explained all the features in detail, ensuring we felt confident with our purchase.
• Andrew (Insurance Specialist): Andrew was amazing at finding the best insurance coverage and deductible combination within our budget. His expertise made a complicated process much easier.
• Front Desk Team: The ladies at the front desk were attentive and helpful throughout. Even though they initially spelled our name incorrectly, they quickly fixed it and kept the atmosphere light with some friendly teasing.
Areas for Improvement
While the overall experience was great, the cleanliness and attention to detail inside the RV could use some work. There were issues like the time wasn’t set in the clock, caulk around the outside lights and smeared on a window, and a receptacle so dusty that I initially thought its color was off. Improving these small details would elevate the customer experience significantly.
Final Thoughts
General RV in Wayland offers excellent customer service, knowledgeable staff, and a variety of helpful programs that make RV ownership easier and more enjoyable - especially for a first time buyer. With a bit more focus on the finishing touches and cleanliness, they would be absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the market for an RV

Mike Williams did an excellent job of handling my service needs. He obtained the needed part and fitted it in to their busy schedule to take care of my service problems. Mike is a strong asset of the General R V service staff.
