The Holiday Rambler Motorhome: Buying Used

by Keith Windlor

When it comes to buying that first recreational vehicle, it’s a good idea to find out whether or not this is the lifestyle that you’re really looking for. Life on the road is heaven for some and…well, not heaven for others. The freedom to fly by the seat of your pants makes things more interesting for many RVers, but others may find they just don’t like the opportunity for changes in their well laid out plans. It all depends on the personality of the individual. Make sure the RV lifestyle suits your lifestyle before you adopt it as your own!

Tip Number One: Do you research. All those years of doing your homework has prepared you for this day…you know how it goes. Get the information you need to make the right decision before it’s decision time! If you’re a first time RV buyer it’s even more important. Familiarize yourself with the various types of RVs, the different models, the customer satisfaction related to each and the different aspects of the options that would suit your needs.

Tip Number Two: Choosing an RV that is no older than 5 years will make your life a lot easier. It’s just easier to get financed for a vehicle that is 5 years old or newer. Also be aware that loans and loan terms will vary per lender so make sure to shop around!

Tip Number Three: Be aware of the status of your credit report. Know your own credit history. Don’t let any “credit” related surprises make your life more difficult when you thought things were in order. You’ll need to have your employment info, your credit history info, down payment and monthly payment amounts, and loan requirements. A side effect of the RV purchase that you might enjoy is that it usually effects your credit score positively.

One of the aspect’s of RV’ing that is more prevalent than other forms of vacationing is the spontaneity factor. Many individuals decide when they hit the road that they will land wherever the road takes them and will just head off with no itinerary whatsoever. The fact that all you need to do is pack food and other supplies makes it so easy to just hop behind the wheel and take off. Some people even have certain articles of clothing that always stay stored in their used Holiday Rambler motorhomes. Why shouldn’t they? After all, most luxury RV’s come with stacking washer and dryer units in them.

There are so many options when it comes to planning your vacation itinerary. However, the fact that you oftentimes encounter some fascinating, yet little known spots while you are just “cruising”…taking in the sites along the way is what makes the spontaneity factor such a great part of owning an RV. Whether you plan your trip or let the open road lead your way, the RV is absolutely a worthwhile part of the vacation package.
