Whether it\u2019s your first time buying an RV or you\u2019re a seasoned veteran, purchasing a motorhome is a big decision. Most people keep RVs much longer than they do family cars, so you want to make sure you\u2019re buying the right one – without breaking the bank. There are so many options out there that the process can feel overwhelming, but we are here to help. Here are our favorite tips on how to find the best deal on an RV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set your budget<\/h3>\n

This is just a good practice no matter what you\u2019re investing in. RVs can range from around $40,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars if you\u2019re in the market for a luxury coach. Deciding how much you\u2019re willing to spend ahead of time can keep you from spending too much. If you go in with a flexible budget, you\u2019re likely to spend a lot more than if you decide on a number before your search and stick with it.<\/p>\n

Know what you want<\/h3>\n

Another tool to avoid overspending is to know exactly what you are looking for going in. Know which specs are important to you and which ones you can live without. First of all, ask yourself what you will be using it for. Short weekend trips in your local area? You can probably do without some of the bells and whistles. Cross country trips with lots of time on the road? Paying more for some extras to make long trips more comfortable could be worth it. If you\u2019re buying an RV with the idea of transitioning to full-time RVing in mind, you\u2019ll definitely need features a casual weekender wouldn\u2019t need. Next, narrow down what specifications are dealbreakers for you. RVs typically have multiple floor plans for the same model that offer different features, so knowing which features you need could be the difference in floor plans or even models. Are you looking for a full kitchen? A bedroom that is partitioned off? Knowing what you can and can\u2019t live without can keep you from being oversold into something you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

Go to an RV Show<\/h3>\n

Attending an RV show is an incredibly helpful way to determine the first two points on this list, as well as find special deals you may not find elsewhere. RV dealers sometimes provide exclusive show deals you can only get by attending. It also puts a ton of different options all in one place for you to explore what you do and do not like. On top of that, you can meet and talk with other RVers to find what worked for them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shop around for financing<\/h3>\n

Just like with car buying, the dealer you\u2019re working with will provide you a financing option. But before you jump at the first number they put in front of you, try doing some of your own research. You may find your local credit union can offer you a better deal which will drive down your overall cost.<\/p>\n

Consider purchasing used<\/h3>\n

Since an RV is like a furnished home, you may think the best way to go is to buy a brand new model that no one has ever used before. However, like cars, RVs do depreciate over time, and they take their biggest hit in the first few years. Purchasing an RV with low mileage that is gently used but a couple years old could mean you don\u2019t take the initial hit on value, and you save money in the long run.<\/p>\n

Be willing to travel for a deal<\/h3>\n

Because researching RVs online is so convenient these days, you never know where you will discover a deal. Consider expanding your search radius a little wider. An RV is a long term investment, so you don\u2019t want to settle just because it was the best price you could find in your town – after all, you\u2019re purchasing your rig so you can hit the road. What\u2019s the harm in a little road trip to purchase it? Searching RVUSA could turn up an RV that fits your specs and budget, but is a little further from your local area. If you\u2019re willing to drive a little further, you might be able to save some money.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, remember to be patient. There\u2019s no reason to rush your RV purchase. As we\u2019ve stressed, whether you\u2019re using it selectively for vacations or full-timing, an RV is a long term investment. Patience in the process of finding one is always better in the long run.<\/p>\n
