Do you have to pay insurance when buying a RV?
We talk insurance deeper in “RV Buying Secrets”, but remember that on top of a monthly RV payment (if you aren’t buying outright), you’ll also need to pay for insurance.

Can you buy a used RV from a private seller?
New RVs may be out of your price range so buying a used RV from a private seller makes sense. You can get a better deal, but you need to know what you are doing. These days it is even safe to buy online. You can use an escrow service that protects the buyer and seller when it comes down to payment. But it is not an easy decision to make.
