Whether you’re buying your very first RV or camper, or you’re upgrading from your current model, you have an important decision to make: new or used? There are benefits to both and it’s important to compare the pros and cons are of each. You might think you’ve already decided on a condition, but make sure you know all your options before you put down your cash! Here at Lone Star RV in Houston, we want to make sure you get the most value for your money, so we’ve provided this comparison to help you decide whether you’ll want a new or a used RV.
Why Buy Used?

The most obvious reason to choose a used RV or trailer is the price. Models that are only a couple of years old will cost significantly less than newer ones in the same style. While used RVs might have a bad reputation, it’s greatly undeserved. If you’re buying your used camper or RV from a reputable dealer like Lone Star RV, you can rest assured that you’re getting an RV that’s been thoroughly checked and repaired, so it’s as good as new! Plus, plenty of older models have all the same amazing amenities and features as new ones.

You’ll also benefit from the experience that other camper owners have had with your particular model if you buy one that’s a few years old. You can look up reviews and see which models are extremely popular and well-liked, versus the ones that weren’t quite as good. Do your research to determine whether the model you’re admiring has gotten plenty of good ratings. Buying used is best if you’re on a budget and trying out the RV lifestyle for the first time.

Why Buy New?

If you’re dedicated to the idea of a brand-new RV — maybe your first model was used and now you’re ready to trade it in for one with all the bells and whistles, for example — then there are lots of reasons why this is a good idea. For one thing, you get the benefit of a vehicle that no one else has ever owned, and you’ll also get to take full advantage of the warranty. A new model is very unlikely to require repairs for a while, so you can put your money towards paying it off or planning adventures instead of tune-ups.

You may also want to get the very latest technology that the RV world has to offer, and you’ll only find that on a model that rolled out this year. Just make sure that you have the funds to afford a new model and that you know what you’re after.
