The Benefits of Buying a Used RV

Buying a used RV is a great way to save yourself money while still getting a great RV that will enhance your camping and traveling experiences on the road. Used RVs offer a host of benefits that you might not have considered before. Below, we’ve highlighted some of those advantages to help you determine if a used RV is the right choice for you.

Cost-Effective

Due to the process of depreciation, every single used RV will cost thousands of dollars less than a comparable new model. A new model loses a chunk of value upon purchase and over the first year of ownership, while a used model tends to retain its value pretty well. This gives you the added benefit of being able to recoup more of your investment should you choose to sell your used RV down the road so you can buy a different model.

Learn About RVing

If you’re brand-new to RVing, buying a used RV is a good way to dip your toes in the water so you can decide if this is the lifestyle for you. A used model is liable to have some cosmetic damage on it already, so if you happen to scrape the side on something while learning how to park or reverse, it won’t be as devastating as it would be to scuff up a new model. 

You can also try out a specific type of RV and trade it in if you decide it’s not for you; you can try out a travel trailer, then swap it for a motorhome if you decide you would rather not have to use a towing vehicle.

Get More Options

Shopping the new market relegates you to a small selection of RVs that have been released in the last year or so. The used market offers a much greater range of options, including models by defunct brands and cool vintage models with a unique aesthetic. There are many excellent RVs that you can only buy used, so enjoy the wealth of options available to you!
