Is a Used RV Right for Me?

Is a used RV right for you? Sure, you can save money with a used trailer or camper – but is it worth it?

Sun & Fun RVs has been in the RV business for decades, so we have a lot of insight about what kind of folks will thrive with a pre-owned rig, and what kind of folks won’t. Learn more below, and come see our incredible showroom in Tiffin, Iowa, where we welcome the camping crowd from Iowa City, Davenport, and beyond. 

If Your Budget Is Tight

RVs are expensive, so buying a used camper gets you the most bang for your buck. Like any high-ticket item, new campers and trailers lose value as soon as they leave the lot, thanks to depreciation. Even if they clock very few miles and see very little use, these used models lose value, which translates into serious savings for you. 

If You Expect to Sell Your RV

Since depreciation has already been baked in, a used RV holds its value better.

If You're New to RVing

If you're new to the RV and camping lifestyle, buying used is a smaller commitment. If you decide it’s not for you, you can sell it without taking a big financial hit. Plus, newbies generally aren’t familiar enough with RVs to know exactly what they want. Buying a used starter model is a great way to learn what features matter to you.

If You Take Short Trips

Often people who take shorter trips are content with simpler features. Buy a modest used model and enjoy the simple life! 

If You Won't Use It Often

People who don’t expect to take their RV out on the road frequently make good candidates for a used model. They won’t have to put as much money into it or wear and tear on it.
