So you’re ready to join the world of RVing – Congratulations! Now the important question: to buy new or used? The biggest advantage to buying a pre-owned RV is price. You’re going to get a lot more bang for your buck if you take this route. However, a new RV can come with affordable financing options, will have a full warranty and feature the latest and greatest in design. In addition, no one else will have ever lived in your RV and the mileage won’t be racked up.
If you answered the questions confidently, if you’re a veteran whose found their RV groove, then buying new might be your next step. If this is your first RV purchase or you’re still finding your path, buying used might be your best bet. You’ll be able to get an RV that’s only a couple of years old, with tons of features, at a much more affordable price while you figure out your RV style.
