RV Experiences, Camping Vehicles, and what to watch out for



I just came home from an awesome RV experience. There I saw very expensive RVs from the Hundred thousands up to the Millions of dollars. Where was this you may ask? It was the NAARVA Eastern Region gathering in Eustice, Florida at the Southern Palms RV Resort. I had the opportunity to meet people of means, and living in their dream, as well as living out their dream. Great interaction, as well as awesome connections.
However, there were people there selling RVs, which is not a bad thing, but as I always say...Investigate before you invest. By investigating I mean going online and comparing the price of a  vehicle presented to you by a dealer/dealership. I met a couple from Macon, Georgia and they told me the vehicle they purchased was under One Hundred Thousand dollars, but they had to travel about Seven Hundred miles to find it, but the same RV was selling for One Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars in their home town. Doing your homework is so vital, or you could be swindled out of more than Fifty Thousand dollars. I won't mention the deanship which was there selling RVs, but they seemed a hostile towards those who had knowledge about the RV industry. By this one example you can see that there can be those that prey on those that may not know how to proceed in purchasing big ticket items. Where I live in South Florida it normally takes me about two weeks to look for and purchase a car. I would peruse the internet, newspaper, go to dealerships and talk to dealers over the phone. We all must realize that the dealerships have a right to make money, so don't expect them to do your homework for you.
Actually owning an RV is easier than you think, selecting one is good, but when you hit the finance office the games begin. What is a good rate for RVs? What is the least amount of years can you finance for, and what is the most? Should I get a warranty when I buy? This is important if you want to finance your RV. If you come with the entire amount of the vehicle you can get a huge discount and some awesome perks. In my next blog I will talk about RATE AND TERMS.
