Frequently asked questions
How fast do RVs depreciate?
New RVs lose 20-30% in first year and about 50% after five years. Used RVs hold value better.
What are ongoing costs besides financing?
Insurance ($800-2000/yr), storage ($500-2000/yr), maintenance, tires, and campground fees add up.
Should I buy new or used?
Used RVs avoid steep first-year depreciation, but new models offer warranties and modern features. Have used models inspected.
