Tips & Tricks For Buying a Used RV

Buying a used RV can be tricky. While it will take a little patience, the extra effort is often worth it when you find a top-shelf RV at a fourth of its usual price. For tips on how to find a quality used RV and ensure it meets all of your personal needs and preferences, check out our helpful buyer’s guide below! 

Read Online Reviews

One of the unique benefits of shopping for a used RV is the abundance of information online. Used RVs often have a number of reviews, blogs, and forums online that can tell you a lot about specific make and model. This will not only help you narrow down your search to just a few models but also help you avoid makes and manufacturers that are known for producing low-quality RVs. 

Set Up a Professional Inspection 

Once you have your models narrowed down to just one or two used RVs, we strongly recommend setting up a preferred inspection. This is the best way to ensure you’re making an informed purchase, and that there are no serious issues present on the model. However, if you’re unable to have a professional inspect your used RV, don’t skip it entirely. Even performing the inspection yourself is better than nothing. 

Request Model Information 

An inspection won’t tell you everything you need to know about a used RV. To learn about accidents, various damages, and previous owner care, be sure to request a vehicle history report for your used RV. If you’re buying from an independent seller, be sure to run the VIN number through a reporting agency to protect against potential theft.
