Stetler v camping world
In Hard-Fought, Decade-Long Battle, RV Sales of Broward Wins Breach of Settlement Case Against Corporate Giant General Electric
“So many people thought I was crazy to go up against General Electricand thought we would never win against such a big company. It was like a batting cage where the ball never stops. But we kept swinging and finally prevailed. We had the truth on our side,” said Gigi Stetler, CEO of RV Sales of Broward.
Due to her extensive knowledge of the case, Stetler represented herself during the 8-day trial. Stetler’s company, RV Sales of Broward, was represented by Peter Ticktin of The Ticktin Law Group. The trial was delayed at one point because of Hurricane Dorian. There was also a full day of motions for summary judgements that could have stopped the whole case from even going to trial but Stetler prevailed.
The case goes back to 2008, when GECDF, the former finance company for RV Sales, erroneously audited Stetler’s company and removed her entire RV inventory without cause. Despite GE admitting it was all a simple auditing mistake, the damage had been done.
Overnight, RV Sales of Broward went from a profitable, booming business to
RV dealer and relentless self-promoter Gigi Stetler, 62, was arrested this past week by Florida state officials and charged with theft of state funds. According to charging documents, Stetler’s parent company, RV Sales of Broward, had “collected and failed to pay a minimum of $471,447.35 in sales tax” from RV sales at her dealership, Planet RV in Pompano Beach. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 30 years’ imprisonment.
Two things about this incident stand out. The first is that the allegedly unpaid taxes were collected from May 2019 to June 2023, a four-year span that raises the obvious question: is anyone staffing the Florida Department of Revenue? Did no one notice a sudden change in tax payments from an RV dealership that has been around for decades? Why is a state government fixated on drag queens, Mickey Mouse and blastocysts apparently incapable of performing one of the most rudimentary governmental functions, that of ensuring timely tax collections? (Oh, right.)
The second is: WTF?
How is it that Gigi Stetler, one of the most storied—some might say notorious—RV dealers in the country, is once again in the headlines, and onc
RV Industry Leader Gigi Stetler is Calling on all Victims of Marcus Lemonis - Star of CNBC’s The Profit and CEO of Camping World - To Come Forward
Dover, Delaware, Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dover, Delaware -- Respected RV industry leader and President of the RV Advisor Consumer Association (RVACA) Gigi Stetler is issuing a nationwide alert to all businesses and individuals who are approached by Marcus Lemonis – the star of CNBC’s “The Profit” and the CEO of Camping World.
“Unfortunately, Lemonis is the false profit. Every week I get contacted by individuals who have fallen victim to Lemonis’ predatorial and unscrupulous business tactics. Some have been outlined in an incredible Inc. exposé by Will Yakowicz, but since CNBC has yet to remove him from “The Profit,” it’s time to protect other businesses and individuals before they are preyed upon by Lemonis and also destroyed,” said Stetler.
Stetler is calling on all victims of Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, to come forward in efforts to attain justice.
Two new lawsuits have recently been filed against Lemonis by his former business partners, Nicolas Goureau and Stephanie Men
