They\u2019re still unused, untitled, and covered by a full factory warranty \u2014 but since they\u2019ve been parked longer than the newest arrivals, they\u2019re often heavily discounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These are what dealers call <em>aged inventory<\/em>. No one\u2019s camped in them. No one\u2019s fired up the AC or used the toilet. They\u2019re still \u201cnew\u201d by every legal and practical standard \u2014 just not \u201cnew enough\u201d to compete with the latest model year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Think of it like buying a brand-new car that\u2019s last year\u2019s model. It\u2019s still shiny and fresh off the factory line, but the moment a newer version shows up with a slightly different paint scheme or interior color, the older one becomes the underdog \u2014 and underdogs are often priced to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/Imagine-Aged-2-1024x562.png\" alt=\"infographic- Both are new, One costs less\nNew- never used, full warranty Full Price\nAged- never used, full warranty, but NOT full price\" class=\"wp-image-347974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/Imagine-Aged-2-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/Imagine-Aged-2-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/Imagine-Aged-2-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/Imagine-Aged-2.png 1054w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><p><strong>Most RV dealerships consider inventory \u201caged\u201d once it\u2019s been on the lot for 90 to 120 days or more. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That number varies by brand, location, and season, but the idea is the same: <strong>the longer it sits, the more pressure there is to sell it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Just don\u2019t confuse \u201caged\u201d with \u201cused.\u201d These RVs are brand-new \u2014 untouched, unrented, and never titled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And that age?

They use a system called <strong>floor plan financing<\/strong> \u2014 basically a loan for inventory. And just like any loan, there\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Take a $50,000 RV. That one unit can cost the dealership between <strong>$9.50 and $11.50 per day<\/strong> in interest, depending on rates (typically around <strong>7%\u20138.5%<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That\u2019s roughly <strong>$300\u2013$350 per month<\/strong> just to let it sit there.

Dealers want them gone, and they\u2019re often willing to slash prices more aggressively than on newer stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019ve seen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li><strong>$3,000\u2013$13,000 off<\/strong> travel trailers that have sat 120+ days<\/li><li><strong>$10,000+ off<\/strong> higher-end fifth wheels or motorhomes<\/li><li><strong>Even deeper discounts<\/strong> when you catch dealers at the right time (like during model year changeovers)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So if you\u2019ve been trying to stretch your budget or shop a little smarter, aged inventory can get you more RV for less money \u2014 and still let you roll out with everything brand-new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/kids-edited.jpg\" alt=\"2 smiling kids hanging out camper windows\" class=\"wp-image-347982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/kids-edited.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/kids-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2025\/06\/kids-edited-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"are-aged-rvs-outdated\"><strong>Are Aged RVs Outdated?

Unlike smartphones or cars that get full redesigns, many RV brands stick with a popular floorplan for years. The biggest changes are usually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>New graphics on the outside<\/li><li>A cabinet handle going from brushed nickel to matte black<\/li><li>Maybe a new fabric pattern for the dinette<\/li><li>Some tech upgrades for better sound or TV placement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Same layout.

You get the <strong>full factory warranty<\/strong>, just like any other new RV.

Most RV model years don\u2019t change much. A newer model might have a different cabinet finish or sticker package, but the layout, systems, and appliances often stay the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"can-i-still-get-financing\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Can I still get financing?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Absolutely.

Since they\u2019ve never been used and are still under warranty, there\u2019s no more risk than buying any other new RV \u2014 just <em>less<\/em> cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" 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=\"transcript-aged-inventory\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><strong>Audio Transcript: Why Dealers Need to Move Aged Inventory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Dealers don\u2019t just want aged RVs gone \u2014 they <em>need<\/em> them gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You see, most RV dealerships don\u2019t pay cash for the campers on their lots. They use loans. And the longer an RV sits, the more that loan racks up interest. We\u2019re talking $300 or more <em>per month<\/em> just for it to hang out on the lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Eventually, the dealer has to start paying off that interest. And if it sits too long \u2014 usually about 2 years \u2014 they have to pay back the full loan, even if it hasn\u2019t sold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Now imagine that happening with <em>hundreds<\/em> of RVs. Suddenly, we\u2019re not just talking about one slow seller \u2014 we\u2019re talking <strong>millions of dollars<\/strong> dealers might have to fork over just to cover inventory that\u2019s gathering dust. No wonder they\u2019re eager to make a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">That\u2019s\u2026 not ideal. Add in limited lot space and new RVs rolling in nonstop, and those older-new models suddenly become the VIPs of deal-making. Translation? You\u2019ve got leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">And it\u2019s not just about the money. Every RV that sticks around too long takes up space that dealers need for the newest arrivals. So these older units quickly move to the top of the \u201clet\u2019s make a deal\u201d list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">For you, that means more wiggle room on price, a better chance to negotiate, and in a lot of cases, the best deal on the lot. You\u2019re not buying leftovers \u2014 you\u2019re scoring a brand-new RV that\u2019s just been waiting for the right shopper to show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\" id=\"greg-long\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/04\/28058529_10155336248161732_4557229358857992213_n.jpg\" alt=\"Greg Long Bish's RV \" class=\"wp-image-323570\" width=\"268\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/04\/28058529_10155336248161732_4557229358857992213_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/04\/28058529_10155336248161732_4557229358857992213_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/504\/2023\/04\/28058529_10155336248161732_4557229358857992213_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-69f12a8f29960 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p id=\"greg-long\"><strong>Greg Long<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bish&#8217;s RV Content Manager<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 10 years in the RV industry, Greg combines firsthand dealership experience with a passion for helping people find the right RV for their adventures.
