ALASKA - AVOID CLIPPERSHIP MOTORHOME RENTALS
Unless your ideal vacation is waiting for repairs on a RENTED RV or
doing them yourself – I would recommend you avoid Clippership Motorhome Rentals of Alaska 5401 Old Seward Highway Anchorage Alaska 99518. Rented a LATE MODEL (1996 is not late it is ancient) 20 foot motorhome – from the time I drove the creature off the lot the CHECK ENGINE light came on and remained on the entire trip; when I contacted the office by telephone regarding the matter the response was the mechanic was aware of the problem but to continue to drive the vehicle since the light may come on intermittently – well the mechanic was WRONG, the light only went off when the key was removed the ignition!!!! Prior to departing the Anchorage area I returned to Clippership to discuss the noticeable aroma of ‘burning oil', and the check engine light, to my surprise they did not offer or attempt to switch me to another RV but spent approximately 20 minutes patching the ‘oil seal leak' and mentioned again the engine light problem was just an intermittent nuisance!!! Approximately 15 miles into the trip the ABS light came on to keep the "CHECK ENGINE light company for the remainder of the trip. Since these ‘Alaskan Bumpkins' had my money and all reputable motorhome rental companies were booked, my only choice was to climb in the ancient machine ‘pray and stay on the main highways'. Happy to say I completed my Alaskan frontier trek, however it was not without problems - ‘no working air conditioner', ‘an engine whistling ‘I am going die any minute' and intermittent backfiring from wherever backfiring originates. When I returned the vehicle and mentioned the numerous mechanical problems I had experienced, the only concern was whether the vehicle had structural damage; my response was the whole RV was a structural mishap waiting to happen!!! It should be noted Clippership Motorhome Rentals of Alaska boast on their brochure they were the recipient of the Better Business Bureau 1995 Business of the Year award. In keeping with the tradition of the Better Business Bureau ability to notify businesses of their standing in the community I plan file a formal complaint to prevent other unsuspecting families from experiencing the possibility of a fatal RV experience. |
