Buying your own RV isn’t an investment to take lightly. If you’ve thought about purchasing a Class A RV, you’re likely no stranger to sticker shock. (Just looking at the average cost of a brand-new Class A RV– <\/em>$50k to $300k<\/em><\/a>–could send even the sturdiest RV buyer into a spiral). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you could opt for a more inexpensive class of RV, like a Class B<\/a>, or even a teardrop trailer<\/a>, you could also buy a used RV to save cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying an RV means making a slew of decisions: What type, size, and style of RV you want to buy? Do you want a new or used rig?  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, these decisions aren’t always easy to make. There are advantages and disadvantages to either option, and it ultimately comes down to what works best for you and your budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pros of New RVs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start out by looking at the advantages of purchasing a new RV rather than a used one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro #1: Warranty Coverage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest advantages of buying a new RV<\/a> is the manufacturer’s warranty that comes with it. The manufacturer’s warranty will cover damages and repairs that happen to your RV through everyday use. RV warranties vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but they typically last for one to three years from when the RV was built<\/strong>, not three years from when you purchased it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro #2: Latest Features and Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage of buying a new RV is that new rigs often have state-of-the-art features and technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
