Used and New RV's

If you can afford it, it is safer to buy a new RV. That said, RVs tend to depreciate like cars do. Last years models are cheaper by lots and if you buy a new one you will lose the depreciation as soon as you pull off the lot, or in the case of a trailer, as soon as you pull it off the lot.

The problem is that motorcoaches cost so much that most people can’t afford to buy new. We are talking about money here, starting over $100,000.00 for a fresh new motorhome smelling RV. That still seems like a lot of money to take a 30% hit on in five minutes. On the other hand, if you are looking to buy a used motorhome in very good condition, you are still looking at a very big dollar amount, for a used RV. If you want to look at older motorhomes, you will have to concern yourself with the condition of the two parts of the motorhome; the motor part, and the home part.

If the RV of your dreams is not going to become the RV of your nightmares, and you really want one, the most important thing for you to do is research. Learn everything you can about your target RV before you look at the first ad on-line. Learn what the costs associated with the maintenance of that class of RV are. Learn about the tax benefits or problems associated with owning an travel trailer RV in your State. Some States consider motorhomes as second homes and not as motor vehicles, and they are taxed more leniently.

After you have completed that research find a good and trustworthy mechanic who knows about motorhomes. Learn all that you can about diagnosing conditions that you might need to discover before you buy your used RV. Learn how to tell the difference between something that will cost $5.00 to fix and something that will cost more than a new RV to fix.

Yes, there are bargains out there. There are people who have just decided to get rid of their year old Fleetwood and because you look as if you need a break they are willing to sell it to you for only $5,000.00, but I will bet you that you don’t stumble on one of them tomorrow morning. The best bargains come to the people who know what they are looking for and who can tell the difference between a diamond and a broken bottle.
