The attraction of buying a used RV is to save a lot of money. It can, however, cost you a great deal more money than you expected, as well as a lot of frustration. When you buy a used coach, trailer or camper, especially from a private party, you never know what you're getting.

We guarantee our units to be in sound condition and trouble free, but you won’t find that everywhere so be careful when shopping around that you don't get hooked up with a lemon! Look very carefully at a used RV's condition, inside, outside and underneath. This will usually give you some valuable clues as to how the coach was cared for. It isn't necessary to get a unit that is in perfect condition. It is necessary, however, that you know what is wrong and find it reflected in the price.

Some advanced features of newer units have eliminated long standing problems often encountered in older models. One of the most significant changes is the rubber roof. This has virtually eliminated the leaking problems that RV's have had in the past. Other changes include motorized RV's have a heavier chassis, fuel injected engines and overdrive transmissions. If you select a motorized coach earlier than the 1992 models, you may not get many of these features. The popularity of these features in later models has increased resale values substantially.

A new coach or trailer may be less expensive, as finance options such as lower interest rates and longer terms are often available. In addition, you won't have to put out extra dollars for repairs for several years.
