1. The off-season. The off-season for RV sales is winter, a few weeks after it starts to get cold and especially when the snow begins. Dealers want to move their inventory and it is hard to do that when customers aren’t coming in. When someone does come in, they are eager to make a sale. It saves them money since they no longer pay the interest on the loan for that RV, improves their cash-flow and makes room for new vehicles.
2. Right before the off-season. This is an especially good time to purchase from private owners who may be more desperate to sell then. They don’t want to pay to store their vehicle for all those months they aren’t using it or have to get it prepared for winter only to have to undo all of that just to sell it when it gets warmer. They may be more willing to accept lower offers, especially if they have had it up-for-sale all summer.
3. During dealership promotions. When a dealership is running a promotion, the salespeople are eager to have every customer make a purchase that day and will frequently offer discounts or incentives in addition to the ones that have already been advertised.
4. At RV shows. The salespeople are interested in making sure you choose to purchase your RV with them rather than someone else at the show. They frequently have special deals to help make this happen and you may be able to negotiate a great price for an RV with a lot of extras.
5. Months before you need it. Regardless of what time of year it is, it is never a good idea to buy an RV right before you want to take it on a trip. If you are overly eager to buy, it is harder to get a good deal and you may settle for an RV that isn’t what you really want. It is always better to have plenty of time so you can get what you want and snatch up that great RV when you see it.
