RV Livin’ yet? The Ultimate Guide to Buying a RV

It could get really confusing when deciding which RV to buy, as there are several options available from several categories and classes.

Some RVs may look really stylish and catch your fancy. Some may have amenities that really capture your imagination. However, the key to buying the right RV is assessing your needs and then looking for an RV.


Here are some important considerations to have in mind before actually going out to look for an RV:

Budget

How much are you willing to spend on an RV?
RVs can come as cheap as $10,000, while some class A motor homes cost several million dollars.

Determine your budget and then go out seeking an RV.

Make sure you are not spending too much from your savings, especially your pension funds.

Usage

The second most important consideration to have in mind is how often you will be using the RV.
Are you planning to live in it permanently, or are you only planning to take it out once a year?
What’s the point of spending thousands of dollars on an RV if it’s going to be taken out once a year and gather dust all year round.

On the other hand, if you are planning to take permanent residence in your RV, then it is better to spend as much money as you for your comfort.

Amenities

What are your ‘must-haves’ and ‘can do withouts’?

Figure them out as soon as possible, because they will play an important role in the amenities that are most essential for you in the RV.

A good way to do that is to list down all the things that you look for when you spend a night in a hotel or a motel. What things you feel should be in a hotel room, and which are the things you feel you shouldn’t be paying for?

If you think that expansive furniture, soft beds and baths are something that your RV should have, then look to invest on a fifth wheel or a Class A motor home.

Storage

Don’t forget that storage is very important for preserving the look and structure of your RV. If you can’t provide adequate covered parking space for your RV, it will start to deteriorate.

So determine the storage space that is available to you before making a purchase. However, you can also hire an RV storage service to store your RV when it is not in use for quite some time.

Dealer

When you have finally assessed your needs, then you should look to purchase the best RV at the best price. One way of doing that is to seek local dealers in your area, even if you are planning to buy a new RV. This will save you hundreds of dollars on shipping when buying from the manufacturer directly.
