If the RV of your dreams is outside your price range, shop for recent used RV models on RVT.com. Used RVs offer many of the same features as new models at a considerable savings.
Are all the RVs seen at these shows NEW or do they include used models as well??
Hi, couple thoughts:
1. You will sometimes see people bringing their used RVs to the parking lots of large shows and offering them for sale; this is embraced by at least some (if not all) large shows because it helps bring more people out. Something you might want to inquire about if you’re thinking of attending a particular show.
2. Also, sometimes groups of dealers get together and hold their own shows with 4 to 10 dealers at places like fairgrounds – these shows would also likely have used units for sale. Where dealers are traveling further to attend shows, they might be less likely to bring any used RVs out.
Hope this helps. 🙂
