Benefits of a Used RV

Apr. 3 2023 Buying Guide By 47 West Trailers

Buying a used RV instead of a brand-new one can offer several advantages. It may even be the best buying option for your budget and lifestyle!

Read on to learn about some of the perks, then visit 47 West Trailers to explore used RVs for sale. Our camper dealership is based in Troy, Missouri.

1. You Can Save Money

A used RV will cost much less than the price tag of a new one. This allows buyers to purchase an RV without breaking the bank. Buyers can even put those savings towards other items they may need in their RV, such as upgrades or camping supplies.

2. You Get Back More of Your Investment If You Sell It

Used RVs have already gone through the initial depreciation phase of ownership. The biggest loss of value usually happens in the first year or so, even when the model barely leaves the garage.

If you decide to sell your used RV, you will get back a much larger percentage of your original investment (compared to selling a once brand-new camper).

This is ideal for those buying their first RVs and testing out the camper lifestyle. If you end up traveling often and decide to upgrade to a nicer camper with more features, you can sell your starter model and get back more of your original payment.

3. You Can Get Included Upgrades for Less Money

Many RV owners will upgrade their camper with accessories, from a more comfortable mattress to a higher quality television.

When you buy a used RV, you get to enjoy these upgrades without having to do any of the work involved. The previous owner already researched the option, bought the part, and installed it for you. All you need to do is enjoy!
