A knowledgeable RV dealer can help speed up your camper buying process and make the experience seamless. However, as a buyer, you should know what questions to ask them so you can find the best recreational vehicle for your adventures. Don’t worry if you are unsure where to begin—your local camper experts are here to help. We have gathered a few questions to ask your dealer before making your final decision—so keep reading to learn more.

Should I Get a Towable RV or a Motorhome?

The first question to ask your dealer is whether you should invest in a motorhome or a towable RV. Motorhomes are drivable campers, meaning they have their own drivetrain, and you will need to drive your model from one spot to another. On the other hand, towable RVs aren’t self-contained. You will need a towing vehicle of sufficient weight handling capacity to haul your camper from one destination to destination. Your dealer can suggest models that fit your needs, depending on your budget, camping requirements, driving skills, and experience level.

What Sub-Category of RV Should I Get?

Once you know whether to buy a motorhome or a towable camper, seek your dealer’s recommendation about the sub-category. There are three sub-categories of motorhomes—Class A, Class B, and Class C, while towable RVs are available in travel trailers and fifth wheel models.

Each sub-category offers models with different floor plans, features, and amenities. You want your dealer to help you select the most compatible model for your unique requirements.

What RV Brands Should I Consider?

Finally, you want your dealer to help you find a brand you can partner with for life. Some camper brands offer affordable vehicles, while others focus on the latest technological advances. At the same time, many RV brands design customized campers for full-time travelers and other specialized groups.
