Saving Money

Maybe the most popular reason to buy a used RV is the price. Used rigs are significantly cheaper than they originally sold for and even some of their newer counterparts. This alone can be attractive to buyers since everyone likes to save a little money, but generally speaking, younger or less experienced buyers struggle the most to know what they want from their rig. They can have an idea, but until you’ve traveled quite a bit in your RV, it’s hard to gauge what you’ll use all the time and what you’ll still need. In the event you have a bunch of features that don’t suit your camping style, you’ll probably feel better knowing you can pay off the vehicle quickly so you can find something that’s a little better for you.

Buy from a Dealer

This probably makes us sound a little biased, but we also know that buying any used product can be a gamble. Something as big and complex as an RV can come with unique problems and you don’t want to struggle through maintenance issue after maintenance issue. You’ll want access to all the information you can get, and buying from a dealer can more reliably give you what you need. This can include vehicle history reports and a wider range of options. But most importantly, you’ll have the peace of mind that you’ll be working with people who know what they’re doing.

Inspection

When you start honing in on a specific model you like, you’ll want to do a thorough inspection of the RV. Check every nook and cranny, both on the outside and the inside, looking for potential concerns and red flags. Some scratches here and there are probably okay, but signs of water damage or other issues in that vein can lead to bigger problems down the road. Even if you think you’ve checked every bit of the RV, consider hiring a professional to check it as well, especially if there’s an engine involved.
