! More and more families have begun to think of a recreational vehicle as an expense they cannot afford.  For these individuals, a pre-owned RV may be the answer to their problems.  Buying a

does not mean sacrificing quality, luxury, or even age of the vehicle.  The only real thing lost in purchasing a pre-owned RV is the pride of a brand-new product that has never been used by anyone else.  Another thing lost in purchasing a pre-owned RV is a lot of the sales price – something most buyers are more than willing to lose.  

Pre-owned RVs can be purchased through many different venues.  The first is directly from the owner.  You can probably find sellers right in your area by looking in newspaper and online classifieds.  This is a great way to see a pre-owned RV up close and personal while shopping, and people who buy in this way also have the advantage of meeting face to face the original, or most recent, owner.  While this may give you some idea of the amount of care that has been put into the RV over the years, it will not reveal much that a thorough inspection by yourself and a mechanic won’t reveal.  

Buying pre-owned RVs through classifieds can also make for a slow buying experience, as potential purchases have to be viewed one at a time.   Another thing that slows down this method of buying is the inevitable price negotiation and back and forth that comes when two individuals try to talk each other up and down in price.  Often, people who buy this way will walk away from the seller and leave their contact information in the hopes that the seller will reconsider if the pre-owned RV doesn’t sell soon after.  When done carefully, thoroughly, and with patience and knowledge of RVs, this can be a successful way to find your pre-owned RV.

Another means of finding a pre-owned RV is through an

.  These can be found in your local yellow pages or at various online sites.  Buying through a dealership gives buyers the advantage of a knowledgeable staff who can answer questions you may not initially know the answers to.  However, there is still some responsibility on the buyer to be informed, especially when buying pre-owned.  Make sure that you know the ins and outs of the classification of RV you are looking at, that they offer quality guarantees if any immediate concerns arise after the purchase, and that they pre-owned RV passes mechanical inspections.  There are many potential problems that would not be evident to the inexperienced buyer, or underlying problems that only a mechanic could detect.

Pre-owned RVs can now be purchased from wholesalers as well, which is usually the closest buyers can get to a direct purchase from the manufacturer.  These companies operate with low overhead – simpler setups than a normal showroom, etc. – and have contracts or agreements of some sort with manufacturers that allow them to pass on a greater savings to the consumer.  Most wholesalers will be able to provide you with quality information as well as a large variety of pre-owned RVs to choose from.

Using this information, find the method that appeals to you.  All will require a bit of research and knowledge on your part, and each have benefits that will appeal to buyers.
