Stress-free
Excellent service, honest and no sales pressure made buying our first travel trailer from Ottawa Camping Trailers a really stress-free pleasant experience. It’s our first purchase from them but definitely won’t be our last. – Victor Hotte
Great experience
Thank you to Filomena and Adam for their amazing service. Great experience and over-the-top customer service. What I liked most was Filomena listened to what we were looking for and found us the perfect camper. Adam was down-to-earth and extremely knowledgeable. We never felt pressured or that we were being given a sales pitch. Old fashion customer service. Thank you, Ottawa camping for making this experience such a great one! – Nicole Turcotte

Customer Reviews
Professional and friendly
“My husband and I bought our Northern Spirit couples RV in April 2021. I can honestly say the buying experience at Primo is second to none. From our initial contact with Michel, his service was impeccable. He was very professional and friendly and provided us with a no-pressure sales experience. His coworker Dave (I hope we have his name right) also provided exceptional service when Michel was not available to answer our questions – and we had many. When it came time to pick up our Northern Spirit, which Michel worked extra hard to have ready for the first camping trip that we had already planned, we were greeted by a gentleman from the service department, whose name escapes me. He spent almost two hours in the extreme heat showing us every function, giving advice, explaining the mechanics. There were a few items that required service at the end of the season which were promptly repaired prior to storage. We literally took almost three years to find and purchase the perfect RV for our lifestyle. Although we decided the Northern Spirit would be our first and only RV, we are already thinking of upgrading as we approach retirement. If and when we do, Primo will definitely be our go-to. We are lifetime customers for sure. Thank you!!” – Paddle Partners
Excellent briefing
“Awesome experience buying our first travel trailer. Our salesman, Michel, a seasoned RVer, gave us an excellent briefing on everything about our trailer. Lots of ‘how-to information. When we came to pick up the trailer, we got a second in-depth briefing by James, one of the mechanics about everything the trailer had and how to use, maintain, winterize and de-winterize the systems. We were extremely happy with the entire process and left the dealership with confidence in our ability to RV. Thank you both for the attention you gave us.” – Paul O’Connor

Just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa, 417rv caught our attention and is ready to offer you the RV of your dreams. They impressed us with their customer-friendly website equipped with a customer service chat box and RV finding feature.

Great customer service experience
“We purchased a 2022 RV from 417RV and had a great customer service experience! Mirel (sales rep) was amazing and really took the time to address all of our questions. Kevin (finance rep) was so great. He went above and beyond our expectations. We would recommend this place to anyone who is starting out with a camper or even wanting to trade in their camper. Excellent customer service!!” – Chantal Guilbeault
Very knowledgeable and honest
“Very friendly staff. Answered all our questions and made our experience pleasant. We had a lot of questions, and wanted to be sure we were getting the best deal since buying an RV is a huge purchase and commitment. They helped us find the best trailer for our family and budget. They are very knowledgeable and honest. The manager is unlike any other salesman I’ve ever met. He was fair, upfront, and honest. Would definitely recommend coming here for your RV needs.” – Katrina Powers

Customer Reviews
Exemplary salesmen
“We are so happy. The staff were patient and explained in a way you can understand without talking down to you! We are getting our Pop Up Tent in a couple of weeks… pictured is the model! We are 1st time Tent Trailer owners. Can’t wait to hit the road. They treat you like a person. Not like the one in Stittsville on Carp Road who looked at my wife and I turned then walked away. Just cause in jeans and t-shirts. We tried to get his attention, just kept walking away. These salesmen are normal but, the ones at Campmart are exemplary!
If you are looking for an RV, tent trailer, etc, these are the people who will do whatever it takes to get you approved and what you want. They do Auto Loans also. Look online or call them in Kanata! It will be the best couple of minutes you would have in a long, long time!” – Gary Latendresse
Clean beautiful showroom
“I visited the camp mart location in Kanata as a first stop before shopping around Ottawa, Stittsville, and Perth region for trailers. The first thing I want to point out is what a clean beautiful showroom they have full of trailers. I did not buy during my first visit as I was new to the whole trailer industry and wanted to do some homework, I later returned with some comparables and was able to work out a fair deal for both sides, thank you to the whole team including Firas and the delivery staff who brought our trailer to us directly.” – Sleiman Karaky
