Tips for First-Time RV Buyers

OKEMOS, MI--(Marketwire - June 2, 2008) - Deciding to buy, and ultimately own, an RV can
be an exciting moment in your life. RVs offer a number of great benefits to
those who own them. Today's RVs also provide travelers with the comforts
and convenience of a "home away from home" as they participate in
activities and hobbies of interest to families, not limited to camping.
Remembering a few simple guidelines can prepare you for the purchase
process.
When applying for an RV loan, be sure your credit history is where it
should be. A credit score of 700 will allow for the best financing. RVs are
considered luxury purchases, so lenders are especially cautious.
Before investing in an RV, look around for the best deal. Keep in mind that
purchasing an RV isn't as simple as purchasing an automobile. You may need
to spend at least a couple of hours at the dealer before you drive away
with your RV.
Once you purchase your RV and sign the appropriate papers, you'll likely
experience a walk-through orientation. Many beginners are surprised at how
lengthy these orientations can be. Try not to get overwhelmed with the
abundance of information being passed onto you. As thrilling as RV
ownership can be, it also takes some preparation, so it's important to
absorb what's being communicated to you during the orientation. You may
want to consider bringing a notebook or another set of eyes and ears with
you, so you don't miss anything.
Above all, remember to enjoy your RV! RVs are the perfect way for families
to escape the stresses of everyday life. Packed with essentials --
bathrooms, kitchens, and sleeping accommodations -- RVs provide a
convenient way to travel with all the comforts of home. Plus, RVs have all
the "extras" like TVs, stereos, air conditioning and even computer stations
and game systems.
