It’s no secret that buying an RV can make for many fun experiences. However, the actual buying process can be daunting if you don’t know what to expect. That’s why the team at The RV Shop wants to help you prepare before making one of the largest purchases of your life!
What to expect before the purchase?
Researching is essential to the RV buying process! There are so many different makes and models to choose from, and you’ll need to be able to narrow them down to find what works best for you. You can start by assessing your situational needs and reasons for purchasing a recreational vehicle. Take note of the brands and models that interest you.
After that, you should create a budget. What kind of RV can you afford? Do you want a pre-owned or brand new model? Which types of RVs are within that budget?
Do you have a motor home or other RV in mind now? Check out photos, videos, and reviews to ensure that this model is the best fit for you! Many dealerships even allow you to tour models before purchasing.
What should you expect at the dealership?
When you’ve decided on a motorhome you love, head to an RV dealer like The RV Shop. At our dealership, you can expect to speak with one of our sales professionals, and we’ll help you to find the model you want. If it isn’t available, our experts can direct you to a similar option that has specs and features most like the one that you wanted.
As you’re speaking to our sales team, you can expect to find dedicated and knowledgeable people throughout the dealership. We also are committed to providing competitive pricing! After you’ve decided on your RV, you’ll be taken to speak with our finance team to discover the best financing plan for you. This process may include paying a down payment and other preparation fees.
What can you expect after buying your RV?
Before going on a trip in your new or pre-owned RV, there are a few more things you’ll need to do. Most dealerships will offer a warranty within your purchase agreement, but if you decide not to get it at the time of purchase, you’ll need to get it as soon as possible. The same goes for insurance. You’ll often have to purchase this before leaving the lot, but you will probably have many different options to choose from.
You will likely receive a temporary license plate until you can get the official title and new plates for it, especially if you purchase from out of state. When you make it home, you’ll need to have a space to store your RV. You may even need to pay a monthly storage fee at a storage unit for your recreational vehicle.
It’s also important to plan to buy other necessities such as a waste tank and rubber sealant. These are items that aren’t as imperative to buy immediately after driving off of the lot but are essential to purchase before you hit the road in your RV.
