Their top priorities include offering the best parts in the business and consistently giving excellent customer service even after the sale has been made.<\/p>\n<p>What started their love for camping almost 40 years ago was when Marvin was a service manager for a car dealership and who often get called in to work weekends. To get away, Marvin and Shirley would pack up the essentials and make their way to their favorite campgrounds until Sunday evening. This was the 70s, and they frequently ran into trouble with finding parts and service for their RV, and since Marvin already had electronics experience, it only made sense for him to complete his own repairs. Word soon spread about the repairman and he began doing maintenance for others in the campgrounds because there was truly a need for his craft.<\/p>\n<p>They then decided to take a trip to Elkhart, Indiana to learn more about owning an RV business and to talk to distributors. It all started as a simple parts store in 1975 in Carbondale. In just a few short years, they had packed up and relocated to their current location in Carterville. Today, they have a large selection of Starcraft Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels and other RV options for your specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t see a part you need for your RV in store? No worries. Kamper\u2019s will happily help you find what you need from their online catalog and have it ready for in store pick up or have it sent to your doorstep.
