Research Your Options

Browsing dealership websites is a great way to take stock of what's available before you commit to visiting a dealership in person. If you've got your eye on a particular RV, look up the model on the manufacturer's website to learn more. Online searches for vehicle models can also bring up reviews from buyers and professional organizations that can help guide your decision. Be sure to think about your priorities, and keep a list handy of qualities you’re looking for in a trailer to make sure you’re getting all the features you need.

Budgeting

Used RVs are a safe bet for the budget-conscious consumer, as their value tends to remain pretty stable following the initial process of depreciation after their first purchase. When assembling your budget for purchasing a used RV, make sure to account for all the expenses associated with RV ownership, such as insurance, registration, maintenance, and repair fees. Keep in mind that used RVs don’t come with the protection of a manufacturer’s warranty, so you will be liable for any damages that occur after purchase.

Inspection

Water damage is perhaps the most important consideration when inspecting a used RV. Moisture can harm the vehicle's structure and cause its value to depreciate. Look out for this common problem by searching for evidence of mold and mildew on floors, ceilings, and pipes. Avoid used RVs with a musty smell or other signs of leakage.

Ask For History

Whether you're purchasing your used RV from a dealer or from a private seller, be sure to ask for the vehicle's paperwork. At a minimum, the vehicle history should include maintenance records and repair notes. Records that include regular oil changes and professional servicing are a particularly good sign of a dependable used RV.
