A used RV costs anywhere from $1,000 to more than $700,000. A new RV costs from $14,000 to more than $800,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/rv-cost\/\">price of a new RV<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bishs.com\/blog\/class-c-rvs-cost\" target=\"_blank\">Class C RV<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/travel-trailer-cost\" target=\"_blank\">Travel Trailer,<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/fifth-wheel-cost\" target=\"_blank\">Fifth Wheel<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whether or not the upfront cost of an RV is worth it to you will depend how you use the RV. Rather than pay for plane tickets, rental cars, and hotel rooms, many RVers use their RVs for years of vacations and family time. When you consider rising travel costs (<a href=\"https:\/\/money.com\/hotel-prices-up-2023-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hotel costs alone have more than doubled<\/a>&nbsp;in the last year) the upfront RV price may be comparable or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If an RV is a better choice for your travels, keep in mind that around 70% of RVers finance their RV purchase with a loan to distribute the upfront cost out over time. RV dealerships can help you find a loan or you can work independently with a bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you decide buying an RV is right for you, and financing your purchasing is the right decision, read this guide to make sure you\u2019re getting the best deal on your RV loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-69f0f004ea1c1 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/get-best-loan-deal\" style=\"border-radius:12px;background-color:#005568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>How to Get the Best Deal <\/strong><br><strong>on Your RV Loan<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:87px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"cost-of-owning-an-rv\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>COST OF OWNING AN RV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">The cost of an RV is more than just the upfront price tag or monthly payment.

While this is a bit tongue in cheek, you can definitely expect to spend some extra dough to keep gas in your tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The average fuel economy for a motorized RV is around 10 miles per gallon, which is much lower than the average fuel economy for a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you\u2019re towing an RV, the actual impact on your MPG will vary based on the weight and size of what you\u2019re towing and the vehicle you\u2019re towing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/rv-ownership-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the costs of owning an RV<\/a>&nbsp;so you can be prepared for any extra expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"2-don-t-buy-an-rv-if-you-don-t-know-when-or-how-you-ll-use-it\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><strong>2- Don\u2019t Buy an RV if You Don\u2019t Know When or How You\u2019ll Use It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/10\/time.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-329304\" width=\"392\" height=\"261\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It won\u2019t come as a surprise to you when I say that life is busy.

If you\u2019re looking at an RV as an investment that will hold or increase in monetary value \u2013 an RV is not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">An RV may be an investment, but it\u2019s not usually* an investment for financial gain. Instead, <strong>buying an RV is more commonly an investment in making memories, spending time with loved ones, and having freedom and options for getting away.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you can afford the depreciation and value the opportunities an RV provides more than the financial value of the RV, then an RV could very well be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Carefully consider how you think about the money spent toward your RV before you make the decision to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><em>*During the pandemic between 2020-2022, high demand for RVs meant some RV owners could sell their used camper for more than they purchased.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:17% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1_hMWPHhiS1-qirnMumWYugeias3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"655\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4-655x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341781 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4-655x1024.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4-768x1200.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4-983x1536.jpg 983w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2024\/06\/avoid-getting-hosed-4.jpg 1088w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:26px\">Nothing is worse than getting screwed over during a purchase.

Regardless of the size, maneuvering these beasts can be a nerve-wracking experience, particularly for first-time RV owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The increased length, height, and weight compared to a regular vehicle require cautious driving and a sharp eye on low bridges, narrow roads, and tight parking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If towing or driving an RV is a concern for you, but you still think RVing is right for you, you may want to start out with something smaller.
