Let’s talk about why you should be considering buying an RV right now. Of course, you could buy an RV at any time of the year, but there are a lot of perks to making this purchase during the off season, including the money you’ll save. So if you’ve been dreaming about RVing when the weather gets warm–and hopefully things start to go back to normal–call Pete’s RV Center Indiana right now and ask what kinds of RVs we have for sale. You’ll find us in Schererville, Indiana, serving Indianapolis, as well as our neighbors in Champaign and Decatur, Illinois.
The Perks of Buying During the Off-Season
There are a lot of benefits to buying an RV during the winter as opposed to waiting until a little later in the year when camping season is just around the corner. Of course, we’ll help you find the right model no matter when you come to see us, but these are just a few of the reasons why now is the time to start looking:
1. Finding Your RV Before the Crowds Arrive
There are plenty of campers who become inspired by warm weather to buy an RV. If you’ve already decided you want to make the investment, then you can be one step ahead of the crowd.
Keep in mind, if all goes well, there could be a major boost in tourism this summer all around the world, including some of your favorite camping spots. It’s possible RV dealerships will see even more customers this year than usual, and it may be harder to get your hands on the perfect camper if you wait too long.
2. Influx of RV Options
Of course, the start of a new year means dealerships will be promoting their latest models. If you’re interested in a brand new RV, you’ll want to grab yours before the wave of buyers hits.
We’re also coming off camping season. Many current RV owners may be looking to sell the campers they have right now. Either they found they didn’t like the model they purchased, or they’re ready to upgrade, or maybe they found that RVing simply wasn’t for them. While some might be trying to manage this all on their own, others take the opportunity to sell their RVs to a dealership like Pete’s RV Center Indiana. This means that you’ll get a plethora of fresh new and pre-owned options to choose from. If you start looking now, you can beat the crowds.
3. Better Deals
Winter is a slow month for most RV dealerships. Sales are down, so many of us are lowering our prices to attract the customers who are looking around. You’ll also see more deals and more sales this time of year, so a model that would be out of your budget in summer might be more affordable right now.
4. Giving Yourself the Time You Need
Even if you know exactly what you want, you won’t walk into the dealership one day and then walk out with an RV. Buying an RV takes time, and starting the buying process now can give you plenty of time to choose a model and finalize purchase before camping season begins. You’ll feel less rushed to make a final decision and you’ll have a little bit of time to prepare the camper by registering it and stocking it with gear.
Should You Buy at an RV Show?
This also happens to be the time of year that RV shows will start to kick up. Obviously, this year is probably going to look a little different than previous years, and while some shows have cancelled their 2021 events completely, some are still going strong, either with special precautions in place or through virtual events. If you’re interested in attending an RV show, make sure you check the corresponding website for more details on how to comply with the coordinators’ restrictions.
But back to the main question: is buying an RV at an RV show a good idea? Let’s just say you shouldn’t rely on finding the right model at a show. If all the pieces fall into place and you find the perfect model at the perfect price, then it’s likely fate that brought you together.
Even if you don’t find your favorite RV at a show, you can still use it as a way to explore options, features, and new technologies. You can look at some of the latest releases and jot down some of the things you like, so when you start looking at the models at a dealership, you can have a better idea of what you’re looking for.
