How we found a USED RV online! (RV NEWBIE BUYING GUIDE)

We're Olivia and Nathan 👋🏽
First Time RV Buyer [RV BUYING GUIDE] | How to buy your first used RV
Buying your first RV? What do I need to buy my first RV?

When we finally made the decision to buy our first RV (2020), we spent OVER 100 HOURS LEARNING about them. There are hundreds of videos you can watch and blogs you can read to prepare yourself for your first rig.

We compiled all of the info/advice/tips we learned and used, and put it in one video to help guide you through this process 😃 (be sure to check out the channels that helped us below!)

There are many 'key things' to look out for when buying used so that you don’t buy a lemon (The weirdest thing for us was learning new/never been used is NOT always better in the RV world!)

The people in the RV world are PASSIONATE.
You’ll find very strong opinions on just about every topic. What works for some doesn’t work for all.
We hope the info we give in this video helps guide your first buying decision and gives you confidence 🙏🏽

Good information. A thought on "remodeled" units...this can indicate recent damage, so be careful and check for previous leaks/water damage, soft spots. Don't be afraid to bring a ladder and get on the roof (if it's walkable) to check for soft spots as well.

I’ve been looking at RVs for over a year. I read lots of reviews & even though I’d love to buy a new “pretty” travel trailer I’ve decided I won’t look at any RV after 2019 because there are skeletal staff at our neighborhood restaurant, so the RV manufacturers have skeletal staff too. I’ve read how used parts are being used in new RVs. Top 10 RVs before COVID are no longer on that list and the ones on the list now have horrible reviews. What I do now is look at reviews on NEW RVs especially the long reviews. Usually they say something about how they loved their old RV & list the brand but since they purchased their new one, the new brand has been in the shop many times or there’s a 3 month wait to get an appointment & since they’re angry they tell you what broke down. After reading that review, I now know to look at the brand of RV they traded in because they loved it.

I'm not shopping for an RV - but you guys did a great job with this video so I wanted to drop you some love. Your content is great - thanks for always bringing laughs and authenticity!

[dottyfreeman]

Thanks for the information, just what I was looking for. There is so much information out there it is overwhelming to sort through!

[soflanicole]

I've been looking for a good channel to learn about RV life. After seeing lots of bad ones, I found yours and it's awesome! Just subscribed. Thanks!

[bobbymifsud]

I just want to thank you guys SOOOO much for posting this video! I’m a first time RVer and am completely new at this. I’ve been watching video after video over the last few weeks and have been completely lost because so much information conflicts. I got WAY MORE (accurate) information from your video just now than all the others I found before you. Great job guys!! I wish I found this video sooner- could have saved alot of time.

If you haven’t already, please post more videos similar to this regarding us newbies and what to expect and look for- ESPECIALLY which types of vehicles will tow which types of camper trailers. Thank you again ❤

7:27 had to laugh at the GCWVR (GROWTH combined vehicle rating)...I just imagine it with a lisp. lol Thank you guys for great content!

I just bought my first trailer. Timberline 1970. I went with the trailer because it was low end of my budget, weight compatibility with my SUV and extremely well cared for trailer.

After two years of RV-ing, I sold my rig. It was just a lot of work, preparation, maintenance and expensive. I went back to driving my car or truck and staying in motels. RV-ing wasn’t for me. Glad I did it early in life and not after I retired.

[barryjackson]

Well done video and finding all those comedy clips you plugged in must of been crazy hard but you nailed!

[mr.pinecone]

Great video! Could tell you worked really hard on all that b-roll and reference material.

[ninac]

Yea I wanted a trailer, but I keep leaning toward a class c because of the towing and being solo and towing. 2022 I wont be solo so I'm thinking of waiting till then but really dont want to . Thankyou kindly for all the tips . My fav rv channel ♥️

[ceemihail]

Awsome video, I am glad you mentioned the build quality of travel trailers, becasue i am looking at two trilers one is 6 years old and new is new, but about 3k dollar difference. i think I will go with a new one not to worry about existing issues the old one may have or have to fix or replalce too much lke axles and wheel hubs etc. Great breakdown, i appreciate the time and info.

[terrymd]

Thanks Olivia! Great information and answered A LOT of my questions and concerns.

[renatonp]

Hi! I'm from Brazil. Next year I'm going to move to Orlando, FL. Instead of wasting money renting an apartment, I'm considering buying an RV. I was overwhelmed with tons of information, but your video was pretty helpful! Thank you so much!

[JalinL]

Love all of the detail you put into this! It was very helpful truly appreciate it! TY!!

[DJFreedomlives]

Buying my first RV-a Dolphin from 1993 in great condition for $4K. I will get it tomorrow. Found this video and love the details. I will be joining an RV community so I can learn more. Thanks for posting this amazing video Olivia! You're also a movie buff like me 🎬👍🏾

[markschultz]

I bought brand new so I could get exactly what I wanted plus I get a 2-year warranty I know some people say that sounds funny but I bought it from a reliable dealer

My husband and I are doing RV research, possibly taking the plunge on our first RV, after having talked about it for almost ten years. I'm back at your video after suffering through a pile of insufferable RV videos from other people (all men so far . . . they love to hear themselves talk). I just wanted to tell you, your video is GREAT! Full of practical info, direct, to the point, but not dry. It seems most, if not all the other "expert" RV advisers need to take some tips from you. Keep up the great RV videos; I'll be back!
