I'm Mad as Hell,
and I'm not going to take it anymore!!

Do Not Buy From Panther Campers.

They will steal your money. They are crooks.

I was looking for a good lightweight camper to put on my Toyota Tundra, and I came across Panther Campers. I had no idea what crooks these people would turn out to be.

Here's my experience:

The camper weighed so much that the mileage on my Toyota Tundra dropped from 17 mpg down to 10-11 mpg.

It was so bulky and heavy that I decided to sell it. They offered to sell it and took it on consignment.

So they got me coming and going. They sold me a p.o.s. that didn't work for my needs (getting decent mileage) and they got to make more money by selling the p.o.s. again.

Nothing happened. A year went by, and they said they finally got a buyer. My take on this unit would be $2130, of which I originally paid over $7000 for. That is the kind of deprecation you can expect.

Of course, actually getting the money would turn out to be another exercise in futility.

Months went by, and my check never came. Phone calls, emails, etc ... excuses and more excuses.

There are two key people at this disreputable company: Doug Hill and Peter Houle. Peter is the one who has been the front-line screwer. Here's an email from him finally agreeing to pay me:

Next, they finally promised to pay me:

What are the results? It is now November 7 as I write this, and I have only received one check. They stopped returning phone calls.

This company is run by liars.

Have you been screwed by Panther Campers? If so, do the same thing I'm doing - contact people that can have an impact. For starters:

Better Business Bureau (Washington State)
206-431-2222
You can file a complaint here.

Washington State Attorney General's Office
206 464-6684
More info on how to file a complaint here.

Vancouver (WA) Chamber of Commerce
(360) 694-2588
yourchamber@vancouverusa.com
Call them and tell them this company has no integrity and does a poor job of representing Vancouver.

Stay tuned! More ways to seek retribution to come!

Note to Panther - this website will come down when I'm paid in full. But the rest of the damage will be beyond my control - ongoing posts in forums, letters to local newspapers, "Don't buy from Panther" letters to your competitors, etc. Got it?
