Buying an RV is an exciting investment! With so many different options, there can be pros and cons for each vehicle depending on the buyer. Before deciding on the vehicle for you, there are some questions that you should ask your dealer first to make sure that you make the right decision.
What type of RV would be best for my needs?
When beginning your RV search, the first thing to figure out is which type of camper vehicle you are looking for. There are a variety of different RV options out there, so deciding which will work best for you is the first step. Your dealer will take into consideration your travel needs, your camping style, your budget, and more.
What brand do you recommend?
Every RV brand is different, and will all have various pros and cons. Your dealer will be a great person to ask about the differences between each brand. They will be able to give you an informed opinion on which brand is best for you.
What comes with the price?
While, of course, the price of the vehicle will be listed, there is more to it than that. The price listed will not include fees or taxes. Depending on the vehicle and the dealership, fees will vary.
What comes standard with each RV?
Every vehicle will have different features and upgrade options. Knowing what comes stock with each vehicle will ensure that you know exactly what you are getting.
What are my add-on options?
Following up with what comes standard, it is worth asking what you have the option to add on. There may be some features that are important to you and it is good to know what those features will add to the total price if they are not standard.
If leaning towards a travel trailer: Will my tow vehicle work with this?
Of course, if you are purchasing a travel trailer, you’ll need to make sure that the tow vehicle you have will be able to handle it. Your dealer should be able to give you the nitty-gritty on which styles will work with your tow vehicle.
How safe is this RV for my family?
This is an important question to ask if you plan on traveling with loved ones. Especially if you have kids or pets, the safety of the vehicle is a big priority.
What does the warranty include?
Warranties can cover a wide range of issues, so it is important to get specific details on what is and is not covered with your warranty.
Where can I get my RV serviced?
Since the RV is meant for travel, you will want to get information on where you can get your RV serviced while on the road. Some warranties only apply if you get the RV serviced at the place you purchased it, while others cover more.
What financing options are available?
