RV Lifestyle 101: What's the best way to shop for an RV?

The short answer:  at an RV show.  Whether just getting started or ready to upgrade, shopping for an RV can be very exciting – and frustrated at the same time. It’s important to know what you want. But sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it. What is the best way to look at all of the options to determine what make your top 3 list of features in a motor home? Go to an RV show.

 RV Shows are exciting. They’re fun. It gives you a chance to look at hundreds of different models all in one location. If you are so inclined, you can even engage a Sales person into negotiating or at the very least, learning more about the model or the manufacturer. I highly recommend visiting RV shows if you are looking to buy or upgrade your RV. It’s also fun to dream by looking at models that are far and above your price range. To me, this is the best part!
 
This weekend is a perfect opportunity if you live in Phoenix. La Mesa RV is having an RV show Friday through Sunday of this weekend inside the air conditioned University of Phoenix Stadium. Parking is free and so is admission. Would-be purchasers and lookers alike can see new models from Tiffin, Forest River, Gulf Stream, Heartland, Winnebago and Allegro. Looking for a pre-owned model? You can kick the tires on a huge selection of certified pre-owned motor homes and trailers from Fleetwood, Winnebago, Monaco and Allegro. 
 
Stop out at University of Phoenix Stadium and check out the RVs. Bring an open mind and be prepared to figure out your top 3. Then when the time is right, you can simplify your buying experience having done all of your homework ahead of time. For more information, visit La Mesa RV and click on “RV Shows”. The show is open from 9am – 7pm Friday through Sunday. Enjoy the show!

    Always keep in mind a RV show is a great place to look but, you can also shop online to help narrow down your layouts and price point. Also, that factory reps are usually at these shows to. www.timetorv.com

    Also a VERY good idea to check the ratings of RV's, such as those available from the RV Consumer Group at www.rv.org
