What Type Of RV Will Meet My Needs?
Start by thinking about how you plan to travel with your RV so you can start narrowing down the field. Be sure to talk to the staff at the dealership about how many passengers you plan on having, how often you plan to travel, what type of storage you need, your comfort preferences, and so on. You can trust that these people have the expertise you’re looking for, so they’re more than qualified to guide you in the right direction.
What Brands Do You Suggest?
Keep in mind that dealerships offer a wide range of brands, some of which are better than others. They’ve been selling these brands for a while, too, so they know which ones frequently visit the service department with problems or which ones end up needing upgrades to make them more functional or comfortable. Rest assured, they can help you invest in the best brand.
Beyond the brand quality, you’ll also want to consider the popularity level. Why is this relevant? The more popular the brand is, the easier it will be for you to find a knowledgeable mechanic to service or repair it when the need arises.
What Are The Standard & Optional Features?
You might reach a point where you’ve viewed so many models that it’s getting difficult to keep track of which RVs offer which features. You don’t want to assume that the model you want has a certain feature and end up disappointed when you find out you were mistaken. Take notes so you know what you’re going to get with each model. Maybe the rig is missing a standard feature that’s a dealbreaker for you, but you can add it as an optional upgrade.
What Does The Warranty Cover?
There are tons of variations among RV warranties, so you want to get a clear idea of what you’ll be getting for the model you’re considering. You should find out what is covered and for how long. It’s also wise to inquire about any extended plan options so you can think about whether or not it’s a worthwhile investment.
What Fees Are There Beyond The Sticker Price?
The price tag on the rig is usually not the amount you’ll end up paying. Several other fees can come into play, like taxes, dealership fees, registration fees, and more. You should always get the full picture of how much it’s going to cost you so you can confirm it’s within your budget.
What Perks Does the Dealership Offer?
Every dealership is different, but you’ll find that many offer some enticing benefits. For example, some dealers network with travel organizations and can offer you deals and discounts with their partners, which can include reduced costs for tourist excursions or campsites. On the other hand, they may host regular social events in an effort to bring RV enthusiasts together. Others will offer a parts and service department, like your friends at Trailer Source. Make sure you’re picking a dealership that offers the perks you’re looking for.
