Tips for First-time RV Buyers
Deciding to buy, and ultimately own an RV can be an exciting moment in your life. RVs offer a number of great benefits to those who own them. Today’s RVs also provide travelers with the comforts and convenience of a "home away from home" as they participate in activities and hobbies of interest to families, not limited to camping. Remembering a few simple guidelines can prepare you for the purchase process.
• An RV show is the best place to experience many different types of RVs all in one place. Click on the RV Basics page in this blog to learn about the different types of RVs to help you narrow down which type is best for you and your family. Then head to an RV show and take the time to walk through as many of that specific type as you can. Plan on spending a few hours, or perhaps even making multiple trips to the show.
• If you are considering a towable RV, know what your tow vehicle is capable of safely and securely towing. At the very least you should know its maximum towing capacity, but there many other factors involved in ensuring you have a safe and secure towing setup. This website is a good place to begin your research.
• Another good idea is to "try before you buy" by renting an RV. Many dealers have RVs they rent.
• When applying for an RV loan, be sure your credit history is where it should be. A credit score of 700 will allow for the best financing. RVs are considered luxury purchases, so lenders are especially cautious.
• Before investing in an RV, look around for the best deal. Keep in mind that purchasing an RV isn’t as simple as purchasing an automobile. You may need to spend at least a couple of hours at the dealer before you drive away with your RV.
• Once you purchase your RV and sign the appropriate papers, you’ll likely experience a walk-through orientation. Many beginners are surprised at how lengthy these orientations can be. Try not to get overwhelmed with the abundance of information being passed onto you. As thrilling as RV ownership can be, it also takes some preparation, so it’s important to absorb what’s being communicated to you during the orientation. You may want to consider bringing a notebook or another set of eyes and ears with you, so you don’t miss anything.
Above all, remember to enjoy your RV! RVs are the perfect way for families to escape the stresses of everyday life. Packed with essentials—bathrooms, kitchens, and sleeping accommodations — RVs provide a convenient way to travel with all the comforts of home. Plus, RVs have all the "extras"
