No one will argue that RVs aren’t exactly cheap, and they shouldn’t be, considering how they’re used and how much work goes into their construction. However, for someone on a tighter budget, it can be more challenging to afford a new model. Fortunately, there is always the used RV market, which is chock-full of great models that have plenty of life left in them! Read on to learn a few of the benefits of purchasing a used RV.

1. Save Money

Well, the first and most important reason to buy a used RV is the amount of money you’ll save on it. The sticker price of a used RV is many thousands of dollars lower than that of a new model due to depreciation, which is a drop in value that begins as soon as a new RV is purchased. Depreciation is high during the first year or two of ownership, then evens out, allowing the used RV to hold a lot of value. You’ll also save money on insurance.

2. Access More Choices

The new market is limited to whatever was released in the last year, but the used RV market spans decades! You’ll get far more options when you select a used RV, so you can look for a specific model with a floor plan you like or you can check out cool retro models that add more style to your travels.

3. Find Cool Upgrades

Another benefit to buying used is that many people alter their RVs with aftermarket accessories that you would then not have to worry about adding yourself. Shelving, paint jobs, furniture replacements, electronics and kitchen appliances are just a few of the ways a used RV might be upgraded.
