Attention Revolution RV Customers!
For any customer who was ripped-off & wishes to file a consumer fraud complaint against Revolution RV, the following is from the San Diego County DA's office website: "All crime reports should be directed to the law enforcement agency in the area where the crime occurred. The District Attorney's Office does not take crime reports... HOWEVER, there are some exceptions. Crimes involving CONSUMER FRAUD, environmental crimes or those involving misconduct of public officials may be reported to the District Attorney's specialized divisions. Call us directly at 619-531-****" Everyone who did not receive goods / services as promised / contracted by Revolution RV should file a complaint with the DA's office ASAP. We have contacted the DA's office, the Santee Sheriff's dept and have filed a complaint with the DMV. The more people who come forward and file complaints, the better. The owners may be able to file bankruptcy, but it won't keep them out of jail for consumer fraud, and, yes, they do face jail time if convicted - let's make it happen! File your complaints ASAP!

George will go to the police
That is comical since he has hurt soooo many people including his daughter for many years. Many of the *** post on this site is George Gilbert but he fools no one. Now he feels the pressure and now knows people will not be victims without a fight. He no longer drives and brags about his Mercedes G Class and drives a white Toyota Tacoma pickup. We will all get together to file a law suit against him and find any money he may have stashed away. He has lost anyone that used to help. Lets all prey this is true about George Gilbert going to the police.

Revolution RV has been a mess for years
My husband and I bought a toy hauler from them in November of 06. We had nothing but trouble with their sales office, John the sales manager (Rude!), service... and had to talk to Rod, the owner, directly to resolve anything. George Gilbert, the other owner, was of no help. We dealt with: the wrong invertor installed, 3 week delay on service, a walk through with someone who barely knew how to turn on the lights in the fifth wheel, several non- working components in the fifth-wheel, and many, many empty promises. These people would blame anyone and everyone rather than take responsibilty for their own company's mistakes. We had to threaten the owners with calling the news to get any resolve. We got most of what we had coming to us repaired and didn't go back. It sounds like matters just got worse... good luck to everyone who is out money

Josh is a ***
Here's the final chapter to this headache, sorry its long but I think the story about how unethical Revolution RV handled the situation is worth telling. So we drove up there to get it this afternoon and I towed the trailer home for him with my F-250 because they did not give him the hitch, break controller, keys or PDI. We did manage to find a propane tank and battery. It looks like there are a couple things needing repair but nothing major (yet).... There were three other people there trying to either get their trailer or to find out what was going on. One person suggested to call the bank because her loan was funded but was $6k more then the agreed upon price. So he called the bank and they did fund the loan (at least for the right amount) so Revolution got their money. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Revolution paid the extended warranty, so they will be out the 1500.00 for that. He did call Forest River corporate office to find out where he could go to get the PDI done and Forest River was surprised to hear Revolution was going under and gave him 2 other dealers to call. I did feel sorry for the last standing employee. He was so apologetic and was only there because they told him they would bring him his final check that afternoon (he was three weeks without pay), I bet he never got it. He was worried about feeding his family and tried all he could to be helpful. What was amazing was the manager of the lot was there but he was laying low pretending to be the passenger in a vehicle. (The employee pointed him out) we figured a confrontation would of only ended badly. As we were getting ready to leave, someone from Norm's RV in Poway (manger or owner) pulled up and was offering his card and trying to let people know what manufactures had ok'd his shop to do their PDI and service. All I can say is good riddance to a horrible operation and owners that are one *** of bunch of crooks. I can hope God see's their deads and the Karma train runs them over! If you look up the court records lawsuits were filed on 08/27/2008 and they sold my friend his trailer on 9/1/2008. In case anyone runs into them later, the owners named in the lawsuit are listed as: GEORGE A GILBERT SHANNON GILBERT G RODERICK WINKLEPLECK TAMMY M WINKLEPLECK

This Is George Gilbert
This is George Gilbert, he lives in Valley Center, Escondido. He is the Ex Owner of Revolution RV and does not want to pay his employee's and even bounced their last checks that were even less than the amount they should have been paid. He did not pay child support for his daughter Brittany and is still living the high life. While customer and ex employees suffer, he has a great life in Valley Center. We are all victims of this man and can only hope that the law deals him what he deserves. No longer driving a Mercedes G class but instead a Toyota Tacoma "white" pickup. was arrested 2 months ago for a DUI and beating up a police officer.

Part 2
I love you all and I am working on helping you collect the monies you are owed. This includes the service department that had their hands tied and even worked with no pay after the company closed its doors. I hope all of you learned from this experience and will be better prepared in the future, I certainly learned a lot. Also, I hope the customers that did not get all the services they paid for can get some resolve for their purchases. I know that some of you worked hard and saved for a lifetime for this purchase of your new RV's. We all need to help each other because we are good people and we love the spirit of being out in the open land with our families and friends, desert, river, beach or just camping we all love to get out there and make memories for a lifetime. This post should come from the owners but that's not going to happen. Please don't blame the sales or service staff, we did our part, we did our best, in fact we were your best supporters but our hands were tied. Most of our employee's were very good church going people from several different religions, but all good people. You will all be great employee's for some company in the future or perhaps even opening your own businesses.

Revolution RV - useful info?
My husband and I bought a trailer at Rev RV the weekend before they closed. Had not taken delivery when they hauled away the inventory. Now we have no trailer. Thankfully we did not put anything down, but, we fully expect to get a statement from a lender asking that we pay for something we don't have. I have done some calling and found that over 70 vehicles went to Rice RV/Rentals on E. Main in El Cajon. The guy there was very helpful, but, they do not have our trailer. He said to try Manheim's Auto Auctions in Oceanside (760) 754-****. I have not connected with them, but, thought others might find this useful. Also, we do not even know who they financed us through - was told most are through Bank of the West (if good credit). They are at 800-827-****. Finally, there is an open investigation on these crooks with the DMV. The E. County branch is handling and can be reached at 619-462-****. There is also a form to complete and send to the DMV at their website http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/forms.htm it is called a Request for Records and Consumer Complaint form. If anyone else has any leads feel free to post in response. Good luck everyone.

Revolution RV - How to file a claim
For all of you who may have purchased from Revolution RV and found them in out of business, here is some vital info. We purchased a trailer and where lucky, we got it the Monday after they closed (9/8) in Ramona. Of course no tow package, parts not installed (but we got them!), no walk through, extended warranty, etc. Had to go down the street for hitch, brake control, sway bar, etc. Out even more $$$. Got our license plates three days ago! Whew. So Revolution had an insurance bond to do business in CA. American Hardware Mutual Insurance Co. P.O. Box 435 Minnetonka, MN 55440 Bond # 7-235**** A claim has been opened! Claim # 519**** Claim Agent - D. Lillie 952-930-**** I called and left a message this afternoon and an adjuster here in SD called me back, I am filing a claim. So should you.

Revolution RV... happy ending
I too had difficulty getting my trailer (paid in cash) but the ECO (Scamper) factory helped me track it down. Obviously no PDI done, no batteries, missing parts not replaced ... but I had my trailer. I contacted "RV Ready" in Temecula, talked to Nick (owner) and Jeromey (Service Mgr) to see what they could do. I left the trailer for 6 hours and got the PDI done, batteries and propane installed, all missing parts replaced and a power tongue jack installed.... missing and broken stuff replaced under warranty thanks to the factory/dealer relationships and the PDI stuff was completed at a very good price. RV Ready (888-445-****) handles most Thor products (maybe not Airstream). They were a great help and now my trailer is ready to go camping.

Not Great News EX Employees
After lots of research, here is what I found out, any taxes owed are paid 1st. Weather it be state or federal taxes and I suspect there are many of both owed, DMV fees, etc. 2nd are the employee back wages and of course bounced checks, yes we can win a law suit but there needs to be money found in order to collect. Keep in mind the government gets their share first, if there is any remaining money, the employees are the next paid; This is fact! Multi Million Dollar company's such as GE or Textron will be low on the totem poll. Judges will look at who needs the money more... Attorneys will not take such a case unless they know they can get paid, you can't bleed blood out of a rock. I believe the government is out more money than these guys have hiding. Employees need to file a claim with the labor relations "government" and hope there is money remaining, at the least, there is a tax break because of back wages not paid; Needs to be done now. YES we can win a class action law suit but if there is no money, we will not be paid. This whole thing was carefully planned out and executed weeks in advance of us knowing what was happening. They covered their butts well but the government WILL find their assets. I can't believe they are still in San Diego County, that takes balls. Someone will run into these guys at a super market or mall in north county. Keep posting to the web to expose these guys. They have not filed for BK, in fact George Gilbert filed BK 5 years ago and can't file in the near future but he will "show" he has no money. ADP is a reputable payroll company and was also duped, they will also be going after these guys for depositing the payroll into the ADP account and withdrawing the monies after the checks were cut.

Can NOT Hide This!
I hope there are lots of law enforcement and attorneys viewing this post. Yes George does have a DUI , guns and has beat up a cop. *** Update, George called the employee that was on the channel 10 Revolution RV story to tell his he has big guns. Soon on channel 9. Turko Files. Why did they buy a new chevy 1 ton from Paradise Chevy in Temecula if they have no trailers hidden? 2 Class Action Law suits close to being a reality, the customers, and another one for the employees. I will get back to this web site on the Turko story on channel 9 San Diego. Want everyone to know this, Without mentioning his name, the employee that was on channel 10 news last night was just threatened to keep his mouth shut. Now the gloves are off, I want everyone to know about this in case something happens to him. 3 thugs came onto the property where he is staying and told him not to talk to reporters in the future. One of the thugs was playing with a switch blade. They had a new Chevy 1 ton truck. ****** George drives a white Toyota Tacoma 4x4 and lives in Valley Center, Escondido. I don't think he has a drivers license for a DUI and beating up a cop two months ago. I am told that he has several speeding tickets. Bad News..

Yes George Gilbert
He has hurt many people and does not care, he was the worst person ever to work for becuse he was insecure and felt the other owner got all the attention. That was because the other owner had a brain and was kind to customers and employees but had his hands tied by George Gilbert. Lets call a spade a spade, I know that everyone that dealt with him had a bad taste in their mouths and complained to sales and service after talking with him. He was by far the worst employee and his employee's tried to keep him away from customers. We "employee's" needed to do damage control after George Gilbet talked to customers.
