Manatee RV has formed close relationships with several local and national lenders, so we're able to offer financing rates that many other RV dealers in the area can't offer.

Buying a recreational vehicle is the second biggest investment you'll make in your lifetime, behind your house. It's important to get extended warranty coverage in case of unforeseen repair costs. Manatee RV offers a variety of extended warranty options with various levels of coverage. From just tire and wheel package to full interior and paint protection, GAP insurance, mechanical and appliance insurance.
Long overdue testimonial from last Spring, , to use as you see fit (1996 Coachmen 19-ft Class B). I don't do Yelp because I do not want to register there, so here it is direct. Thanks Manatee RV, for assisting in our entry into the wonderful world of Class B touring RVs. In my multi-month research, and search, for a well-cared-for used Class B that fit our tight budget, you were the RV dealer that made it happen.

We will see if they (Toby and Ron) live up to their word... Happy to revise or delete this rating if they are honest and make good on their promises. We ended up stranded on I 75 with a $191.00 battery bill and a $350.00 towing bill. I wish I could post pics, but I can't. I'm easy going and understanding, but the lying pushed me over the edge...
How about it Toby? Cowboy up and live up to your word.

My wife and I have been searching for the perfect fit RV and in our split decision to search for our first RV we came across Manatee RV. I made the call and spoke to Rob (Sales) who invited us to come visit the lot to see what RVs were available at the time.
We arrived and walked into the office where Rob directed us to the open lot. My wife and I walked out of the office and began our search for the perfect RV. We walked in and out of a few select motorhomes. While we were searching we came across Corey. My wife and I had the most amazing experience learning from Corey the benefits of each motorhome

I needed to get a 50amp adapter ASAP. I called them 15 mins before they closed and the worker told me that they have them in stock but weren’t open........ I said to him, well you answered the phone so you must be open. He responded with “whatever” and hung up on me. I’d give them negative stars if I could.

They had an RV I was extremely interested in and I maintained contact with them through the Covid19 shutdown and had told them I was going to fly out to purchase it. I requested additional photos and they never sent them. Then they sold the RV without offering me a chance to buy it first or asking me for a deposit even though they had my name and number and knew I really wanted the RV. I was going to fly my kids there and have part of our vacation in Florida. They claim to be a mom and pop shop, but they are just like every shady used car dealership and have no loyalties or cares about anyone except

These guys are crooks, avoid this place at all costs. I purchased an RV from them and thinking buying from a dealer I was getting an RV that had been gone through. WRONG. I got an RV that I paid dealer price with a broken beyond repair generator, broken awning, a water heater that caught fire as soon as it was turned on, with all the the sewer lines broken underneath, with a non working horn, bad belt tensioner, bad coach battery and electrical issues stopping the coach battery from charging (this is just the major things, there was many other small things broken). Jeff is all nice and pleasant

I am a "local" with two RV's, and have tried various RV repair services in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, not very happy with any of them. I had no idea that Manatee RV offered service -- thought of them as an RV dealer -- but spotted some great reviews om Google so dared to hope that they might at least do overdue maintenance on my roof. I was pleasantly surprised to be treated in a friendly manner, and taken care of on the spot -- and quickly! I feel great relief to know that I've found someone 30 minutes from me that I feel I can count on to take care of our older motorhomes

Found our (thought to be)1st RV here. Deposit & contract completed. On closing day, we go to pickup & find our new RV damaged. A deep gash in the rear fiberglass. At first dealer claimed it was always there. We had a photo proving it wasn't. Salesman agreed, but owner turned huffy, refusing to have damage repaired. We asked for our deposit back and will never consider this dealer for a future purchase. Owner appeared to have no integrity, and implied that it had been damaged by us with the initial test drive with salesman in attendance. A slap in his face as well.

On second thought, forget what I said in my recent review of service we received at Manatee RV. At the moment, we are sitting on an exit ramp on I95 north in Selma, NC. The "repair" to our RV resulted in the tire flying off. That's right - the tire that was repaired. We are shaken but thankfully unhurt. Take your RV needs elswhere.

I agree with Mark Z. Lots of promises and no follow through. Too many things to list them all. Be warned. We've had our RV which we bought from Manatee RV For 3 months now. Everytime we take it out for a weekend trip something else goes wrong. During the buying process we were promised lots of fixes and 3 months later, still not fixed. They have known about our big 3,000 mile trip since the day we bought. Leaving in 2 weeks and yup, still not fixed. Whatever you do, get any promises in writing. Once the sale is made , you are no longer a priority.
