What Happened
Over the past few months, scammers have posed as an RV shipping company using our physical address, 4905 N 30th St, Colorado Springs, CO, in their fraudulent communications.
Victims typically find a Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist listing for a too-good-to-be-true RV. The fraudsters then:
- Claim the unit is “at our facility, ready to ship.”
- Direct buyers to send payment—often via PayPal “Friends & Family” (no buyer protection).
- Text or email a fake receipt that lists our address as the pickup location.
Multiple parties have been misled, expecting to pick up an RV that never existed.
If you’ve encountered an RV or Vehicle advertisement that uses our address, or if you simply want to confirm anything you’ve seen, please call us first at (719) 265-5900.
Who We Really Are

Red Flags to Watch For
