Deciding Whether to Buy a New RV or a Pre-Owned Camper

When shopping for an RV, it can be difficult to decide which condition to purchase. If you’re looking to buy on a tight budget, a pre-owned camper’s lower price tag can look appealing. However, if you want to take advantage of recent technologies, then you may want to go with a new RV instead. However, there are several factors you’ll need to take into consideration before you can really make an informed decision.

Perks of New RVs

Brand-new campers are tempting for many reasons. A new RV will be at the peak of its game, giving you 100% performance because you’re its first owner. Your rig will also be under its full initial warranty. Any repairs that you may need down the road will be covered at least in part by this warranty, and you get to take advantage of the protection provided by the manufacturer if any parts malfunction early.

Pre-Owned Campers

Considering a used model is also a smart choice since these can provide you with great value because of their lower sticker price. Not only will you save money on insurance and the model itself, but you can also have plenty of options when it comes to selecting a camper. However, It’s riskier to buy pre-owned as opposed to new because there’s always a chance that a used camper might have some hidden performance issue that can diminish your ownership experience.
