Campbell RV
Family-owned Sarasota RV dealer with a 4.6-star rating from 577 reviews, known for no-pressure sales and no dealer fees.
Sarasota has three used RV lots worth a Saturday, and the ratings say they earn the trip. Most of what you'll find here is motorhomes and travel trailers, and a couple of the lots offer financing. Take it from someone who has bought two and walked from a third: the drive matters less than what the lot does after the sale, so read the reviews closely before you point the truck south.

Sun City RV dealer with a 4.1 rating from 9 reviews, selling used motorhomes and trailers.
Three dealers, averaging 4.7 across the group. Campbell RV carries the bulk of the buyer attention, holding a 4.6 over 577 reviews, and it handles new and used units plus motorhome and travel trailer inventory. The services listed there are financing, service, parts and consignment, so a used rig can usually get sorted in one place. Sigma Auto Trade LLC has a 4.6 but far fewer reviews, 18, and lists financing, service, consignment and trade. Big Country RV SRQ shows a 5.0 off a single review, which means almost nothing yet. Small sample, big number. Treat it that way.
A 4.6 over 577 reviews is hard to fake. A 4.6 over 18 is a hint. A 5.0 over 1 is a coin in a fountain. Read the low-star reviews on the busy lot first, because service complaints age better than sales praise and they tell you how the store acts after the paperwork is signed. Two of the three dealers offer financing, but I've had better luck getting pre-approved at my own bank before walking the lot. It changes the conversation, and you find out what you can actually spend before a salesman finds out for you.
Hire an independent inspector for any used motorhome, even on a lot with a good service department. The fee is small next to a roof or slide repair. At delivery, do the walk-through with the water and power hooked up, run every appliance, and photograph anything that looks off. Get anything promised in writing on the buyer's order. Off-season shopping helps in Florida. Sellers get motivated when the snowbirds head home, and a lot will work harder on a deal in a slow month. Check the service department's calendar too, since a busy shop is a good sign but also a wait.

Campbell RV, with 577 reviews and a 4.6 rating. It also handles new units and lists financing, service, parts and consignment. Sigma Auto Trade LLC has 18 reviews and Big Country RV SRQ has 1, so their scores carry less weight.
Two of the three do: Campbell RV and Sigma Auto Trade LLC. Getting pre-approved at your own bank first is still worth the effort, because it sets your budget before you set foot on a lot.
Yes. Pay for an independent pre-purchase inspection on any used motorhome or trailer, even from a dealer with a service department. Then do a full walk-through at delivery with power and water connected, testing every system before you sign.
