Making plans to purchase an RV? Before you make plans to visit your local dealership to start browsing, you’ll first need to answer an important question: Is a new or used model the right choice for me? While both options have their benefits, we encourage you to check out our article below to discover why a new RV model may be the better choice for you.

Experience

The amount of experience you have buying and owning an RV should definitely factor into whether or not you purchase a new or used model. Inexperienced owners may not know exactly what they’re looking for in an RV yet, and are better off with a used model they can trade-in at less of a loss after a few years.

However, experienced buyers typically know what they’re looking for in an RV, and are likely to have higher stands for their rigs. These buyers are better off with new RVs, as they’ll offer better performance and amenities than a used RV.

Service Life

How long you plan to own your RV should also factor into the type of model you purchase. If you don’t plan on having your model long-term—15 to 20 years or so—you may be better off saving yourself a bit of money and investing in a more affordable used RV. However, if you plan to own your RV as long as possible and use it frequently, it’s better to pay more for a quality new RV you know is going to last.
