When Should You Buy a Travel Trailer?

Now that winter is here, many people have stowed their travel trailers for the season, but if you don’t own one yet, then you’ll want to take advantage of this time of year. Knowing exactly when to purchase a travel trailer can help you avoid high sticker prices and get a great deal on a model that you’ll love. Read on to learn more about what makes the off-season the perfect time to go shopping for a travel trailer.

Should You Buy at an RV Show?

No, we don’t recommend that you use an RV show as your purchasing venue for your new travel trailer. RV shows might not line up with the time at which you’re ready to purchase your travel trailer, for one thing, so it’s not very convenient. For another, you aren’t likely to get a great deal because there isn’t much incentive for the show to offer deals.

However, don’t rule out RV shows entirely! They are a great place to begin your shopping process. Arm yourself with a notebook and your camera, pick up pamphlets, tour model interiors, ask questions of vendors, and learn as much as you can about different brands at the show. Then take all that knowledge to the dealership to make a more informed purchase.

Should You Wait For The Release of a New Model?

Yes! We highly recommend this. The release of new models in the late fall means that both dealers and private sellers will be looking to offload current stock as quickly as they can to make space for those shiny new travel trailers. That means you can slip in and grab a gently used trailer or a new model from last year at an amazing price! You’ll likely find a lot of options to choose from at this time, too.
