How to determine your RVs true wholesale value
The first thing you need to know is that the online valuation guides for RVs are usually much higher than the values in the dealers copy of the NADA guide. In other words, what you think your RV is worth is probably much, much higher than what the dealer will actually allow for it.
Changing to a new motorhome can be all about the RV bed
For many RVing couples, a move from a Class C motorhome to a Class A motorhome may be more about the location of the bed as anything else. RVtravel.com editor Chuck Woodbury explains.
Survey shows many RVers owe more on their RV than its worth

Weight terms every RV owner should know
Every RV owner should have a basic understanding of weight terms. Do your research to avoid becoming a statistic in relationship to overloaded RVs. Here are the basics you should know.
Getting "upside down" on an RV loan can cost you big bucks!
Don't get upside down when buying an RV. And we don't mean getting that way through a rollover accident, although don't do that either. "Getting upside down" means owning more on your RV than you can sell it for.
Buying tires? Make sure you register them
When buying new tires for your RV or automobile, don't forget to fill out a tire registration form and mail it back to the manufacturer. Otherwise, you may not be informed if the tires are recalled for a defect.
Why a cheap RV may be best for you. Or not!
Not all RVs are created equal. The cheapest construction may be just fine for the weekend camper, but a rig with sturdier construction would serve the avid or full-time RVer far better. Which is best for you? Here are some tips.
How to get the most from an RV show
Winter RV shows provide excellent opportunities for dealers to preview their newest models and for potential buyers to see all the latest bells and whistles. Here are suggestions about how to get the most from an RV show.
RV bathroom design often underrated in buying process
The most under-rated area in an RV is the bathroom. First-time buyers tend to ignore the size and features of RV bathrooms, only to learn later that they spend more time in those tiny spaces than they thought they would. Learn here what to look for in an RV bathroom (or be sorry).
Which RV floor plan is best for you?
When shopping for an RV you will quickly discover that there are many available floor plans. So which one is right for you? RV expert Mark Polk offers advice.
Where will you store your RV after you buy it?
If you are planning to buy an recreational vehicle, but are unsure where you will store it when not using it, you are asking for trouble. In many cases, finding a place to store an RV is as hard or harder than finding a place to buy one.
Get to know a recreational vehicle with an RV factory tour
The best way to "get to know" a new RV you are interested in buying is not by seeing it on a dealer's sales lot, but by watching the model being built at its factory.

Not all RV salesmen created equal: watch out for the bad guys
A bad salesman cares little about you and your needs. He is looking for a commission plain and simple. He'll say whatever it takes to part you with your hard earned cash. Watch out for this fellow.
Consider where you will camp when choosing size of an RV
Before you buy your next RV, consider how and where you will use it most. The longer the rig, the fewer campsites you'll have to choose from.
RVers stick (mostly) to traditional RV financing
