Buying a new RV Pros and Cons

Your seriously considering buying a new RV (that's the reason your here, right?).

Depending on the type of RV you are considering, this could be one of the most important and expensive purchases you will ever make in your life. So it is very important that you research your choice thoroughly. We will do everything we can to help you with this research.

Buying a RV is not like buying a car, unless the car you are looking at has a stove, sink, refrigerator and king size bed in it. Hopefully, you will be spending a lot of leisure time in your RV so you want it to be the right fit for you.

There is one important exception and that is location. The location is wherever you want it to be. Your RV can be in the mountains one day and on the beach the next (try doing that with a vacation home). So, in reality your RV is going to be your vacation home on wheels.

PROS

J Will have manufacturer warranties on appliances, chassis (Class A and C Motorhomes) the house part of the motorhome is warranted by the RV Manufacturer.

J You will have a better choice of floor-plans and interior colors etc. when buying new.

J Loan interest rates are usually lower when financing a new Recreation Vehicle (depends on your credit history).

J You will get the most up to date RV technology.

J Will not have to worry whether the RV was well maintained before you bought it.

CONS

L Will depreciate immediately once driven off of the RV dealers lot.

L License and registration costs more on new RVs

L Insurance will cost more.

L Depending on type of RV, you will probably have to finance the purchase (unless you are independently wealthy).
