21 Important Aspects to Consider Before Buying an RV

Go on a factory tour

If, despite all your research and efforts, you’re still not sure which RV brands sell what, consider a factory tour to solidify your knowledge about RVs. Certain manufacturers allow potential clients to take a tour of their factory and convince themselves of their products’ quality. More than that, “their websites are also filled with valuable information like floor plans, specifications, and video tours,” Baum says. “While going to a dealer can greatly help with seeing which RV will be your best fit, it is also important to do a lot of your own research since the dealer won’t likely know all of the features and quirks of every RV.”

Get information about the warranty

If you’ve decided on the model, price, features and whatnot of your future RV, there’s another extremely important issue you should clarify: the warranty. There are various warranties for various items on/inside your RV, therefore it’s important to know what warranty covers what.

“You will have guarantees on your new RV. Don’t get confused on the chassis guarantee vs. the house items inside such as a refrigerator, hot water heater, air conditioner, generator, etc.” warns Hamilton. “Replacing an item in the RV house is a lot more expensive than doing the same in your home.”
