Savings Tips for First-Time RV Buyers

While buying an RV is a great investment to make, it can be difficult to come up with the cash necessary to get the model of your dreams. If you’re looking to save on your upcoming RV purchase you’ll want to check out our handy tips below.

Save 

If you’re financing your RV, a great way to save a bit of money in the long run (and improve your loan’s interest rates) is to save up for it! Dealerships will typically ask for around 20 percent of the sticker price, but buyers are welcome to pay more to decrease their debt or term lengths. 

Sales 

A great way to save on your RV purchase is to keep an eye out for big sales events! Dealerships often host these events in the summer, when RV sales are at an all-time high. If your dealership has a newsletter or subscription email service we advise keeping a close eye on it in early June and near the Fourth of July. If you’re lucky, you may even find a few helpful sales or clearance events in the spring or winter.

Models

While financing your RV is a great way to make a big investment more affordable, it’s not always the best option for everyone. If you’ve got bad credit or just don’t have the cash to put toward monthly payments, we advise looking at your dealership's used or clearance models. This is a great way to get an affordable RV that will last you a lifetime. While there may be a bit of a stigma around the quality of used or clearance RVs, if you’re buying from a reputable dealership there’s no need to worry!
