Buying & Financing
What brands of RV do you sell?
We're factory-authorized for top names including Forest River, Grand Design, Keystone, Thor, Tiffin, Entegra, Dutchmen, Holiday Rambler, East-to-West, Ember, Genesis, Modern Buggy and Sunset Park. New and pre-owned inventory rotates daily, so browse current inventory for what's on the lot today.
Do you offer RV financing?
Yes. We work with multiple lenders to find competitive rates and terms. You can submit a full credit application online, or use our no-SSN pre-qualification to see what you may qualify for without affecting your credit score.
Do you take trade-ins or sell on consignment?
Both. Get a free instant valuation with What's My RV Worth?, let us buy it outright through Sell My RV, or list it with us through consignment.
Can I take a virtual tour before visiting?
Absolutely. Many units on our lot have a video walkthrough right on their listing page. You can also call any location for a live FaceTime walkaround with a salesperson.
Do you sell used and pre-owned RVs?
Yes. Pre-owned units are a big part of our inventory and a great way to step into RVing at a lower price point. Each used RV is inspected by our service team before listing. Browse pre-owned inventory.
Are RV loans like car loans?
Similar in process but different in terms. RV loans typically run longer (10–20 years vs. 5–7 for cars) because of the higher purchase price, and rates depend on the unit's age, your credit and the loan size. Interest may also be tax-deductible if the RV qualifies as a second home (consult your CPA). Our finance team finds the right structure for your budget, so apply for RV financing when you're ready.
Service & Parts
Do you have a service and parts department?
Every RV Country location has a full-service department staffed by certified RV technicians who handle every make and model: annual roof inspections, slide-out adjustments, electrical and plumbing diagnostics, appliance repair and warranty work. Three locations (Buckley, Coburg and Fresno) also operate full collision centers for body and structural repair.
What is the Priority RV Advantage?
Priority RV Advantage is a national network of trusted dealers that gives RV Country customers priority service when traveling. Wherever in the country you break down or need warranty work, member dealers move you to the front of the line. Learn more about Priority RV Advantage.
How often should an RV be serviced?
At minimum: an annual roof and seal inspection (water intrusion is the #1 RV killer), wheel-bearing service every 12,000 miles or yearly, and battery checks each season. Motorized RVs need standard chassis maintenance plus generator service every 100–150 run-hours. Our service teams can put your rig on a maintenance schedule, so schedule service at any of our locations.
RV Basics
What's the difference between Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes?
Class A motorhomes are the largest: bus-style coaches built on a heavy-duty chassis (gas or diesel), perfect for full-timers and long trips. Class B, also called camper vans, are the smallest, built on a Sprinter or ProMaster van platform, easy to park and great for weekenders. Class C sit in between, built on a truck or van chassis with a cab-over sleeping area; they offer Class-A-level space without the size or learning curve.
Fifth wheel vs travel trailer: what's the difference?
Both are towable. A travel trailer hitches to a standard ball mount on the rear of your tow vehicle and can be pulled by SUVs, half-tons or three-quarter-ton trucks. A fifth wheel uses a kingpin hitch mounted in the bed of a pickup, which puts more weight on the truck's axle and allows much larger floorplans (often two-story with a dedicated bedroom over the truck), but it requires a compatible pickup.
How do I know what my truck can tow?
Your tow capacity comes from your vehicle manufacturer, but it's not just one number: tongue/pin weight, payload, GVWR and GCWR all matter. Our interactive Tow Guide matches your specific year, make and model to the RVs you can safely tow. Always confirm with your vehicle's manufacturer before purchasing.
What does GVWR mean and why does it matter?
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum weight a vehicle or RV is rated to carry, including fuel, water, propane, passengers, cargo and accessories. Exceeding it stresses brakes, tires, axles and suspension and can void warranties. Always weigh fully loaded and stay under both your RV's GVWR and your tow vehicle's combined rating (GCWR).
Do I need a special license to drive an RV?
In most U.S. states, a standard non-commercial driver's license is sufficient for any RV under 26,000 lbs GVWR, which covers nearly every Class B, Class C, fifth wheel and travel trailer setup. Some larger Class A motorhomes and a few states (e.g. Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maryland) have CDL or non-commercial Class B requirements above certain weights. Check your state DMV before you buy a big rig.
