Everyone knows a vehicle loses a lot of value as soon as you drive it off the lot - and recreational vehicles are no exception. Use this to your advantage!

Choosing a used camper is a great strategy for saving money as well as getting other perks. Read on to discover the advantages of getting a pre-owned model. For more information or to shop used RVs for sale, visit 1st Choice Trailers in Goddard, Kansas.

1. Spend Less Money Upfront

RVs from past years often costs thousands of dollars less. They may have been barely used and perfectly maintained, but will have a drastically lowered price tag due to the inevitable impact of depreciation. Enjoy a quality family camper, but without breaking the bank.

2. Get More RV for Your Money

When you shop for a used RV, you may be able to afford luxurious amenities that you otherwise would not. Enjoy extra perks such as a washer and dryer unit, an outdoor kitchen, or even an extra bathroom.

Or maybe you invest the savings into aftermarket accessories and upgrade projects. It's easy to tweak the used camper to better fit your lifestyle than a new model would!

3. Used RVs are “Broken In"

Even the most well-built RVs have some problems that aren’t discovered until they’re placed into service. It's not uncommon for new models to run into issues during the first few years. These are usually covered by warranty protection, but they are still a hassle! It takes time to bring the RV to a service department and wait for the repair to be finished. That's time that could be spent on vacation.

With a used camper, the original owner will have already handled those first year issues - so you won't have to!

4. There's a Wide Range of Options

RV companies only release a few new models every year. But there are always used campers being added to dealerships' inventories! The used selection is often much larger and offers a better variety of choices.

Anyone can enjoy more options, but especially those looking for more unique features. Maybe you need a camper that can handle a group of 10. Maybe you want a less common sleeping setup, such as bunk beds. Whatever the case, it will be easier to find a great fit when you have a wider range of options.
