Review of Lee's Family Trailer Sales in N. Windham, ME

I never heard about Lee's Family Trailer sales until I met with Sheri (one of the owners) at the Danforth Bay Camping Resort camping show. At the time she had one of the campers we were interested in (the Springdale 377BHS camper).

Lee's Family Trailer Sales is conveniently located on Rt. 302 in Windham, ME. This is about a 15-20 minute drive off the Maine Turnpike and about 1.5 hours away (maybe a bit shorter) from the Mass. border.

Lee's has a nice parts department with just about everything you can imagine. They have quite a number of quality campers as well. They have what appears to be a large lot with what looks like a good selection.

When we visited they were having a customer appreciation day with snacks and goodies and nice decorated for Christmas. All of the staff seemed very friendly.

Things to NOTE:

• Delivery is free
  
• Setup is $65.00 per hour (FY05 rates)
  
• 1 Free Service call if you buy a park model or park trailer.
  
• Price increases in January 2006
  
• Delivery on ordered items usually takes about 6 weeks
  
• A camper bought in the winter can be stored at Lee's for Free
