Motorhomes Offer All The Luxuries And Comfort of Home on Wheels
You could stay in a Five Star hotel when you're traveling. Or, you could take all those luxuries with you on the road, in a Class A motorhome.
The first motor home rolled off the Winnebago production line in 1966. Since then, these recreational vehicles have gone decidedly upscale. Today's Class A motorhome weighs between 15,000-35,000 pounds and stretches from 30 to 45 feet in length. On board amenities can include "slide outs" to increase the parked vehicle's size, a king size bed, full-size bath with whirlpool, washer and dryer, refrigerator with ice maker and state of the art entertainment system with one or even two HDTVs.
But purchasing that huge recreational vehicle with all of its luxuries is a big investment. Prices for some models start at $300,000 or more. So become an informed consumer and do some research before you buy.
Talk with other motorhome owners. Pick up copies of the RV publications, and read everything you can find online. A good place to start your Internet research is www.jrconsumer.com.
Owned by consumers who are not affiliated with the RV industry, the site includes information on almost every type of recreational vehicle on the market and discusses financing or renting an RV, RV insurance and more.
The site offers a RV Comparison Guide that can help you help you select the motorhome that best meets your needs and fulfills your dreams. The guide also provides many money-saving suggestions. And that could add up to thousands of dollars for a vehicle that costs as much, or more, than a home.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal Services
If you're about to buy, sell, or trade an RV be sure you have the wholesale and retail pricing. Having the dealers cost or wholesale pricing is crucial to negotiating the best deal possible.
Having a written appraisal is also important when trying to sell your RV. Knowing the wholesale value will help you determine a fair retail price. We are your Independent Resource for obtaining RV values for Recreational Vehicles, model years from 1975 to 2009.
FREE GUIDE - Learn How to Spot a Well-Built RV
A common mistake with most new RV buyers is that the floor plan is the most important aspect in their RV purchase. It is estimated that over 90% of new RV buyers focus more on floor plans than anything else.
In contrast, most experienced or educated RV buyers focus on the chassis or frame, drive train, engine, suspension and exterior construction when selecting a particular RV model.
Bottom line - What’s underneath your motorhome, travel trailer or fifth wheel is the most important aspect and should take top priority in your decision process. Focusing on these important features will ultimately determine how satisfied you are with your purchase.
