This Isn't the Slow Season For Motor Home Sales

Just like RVing, its not the destination, it's more the journey.
Be patient. The right one will come along.

We spent probably four years looking before we bought. Got tired of driving all over the place looking so we finally broke down and ordered a new one the we wanted it. It was a lot more money than we had planned on spending but we are VERY happy we did. Think about it!

Barmcd, check out Motorhomes of Texas in Nacogdoches, TX. They clean the units and keep them plugged in 24/7. The slides come out only when viewing for a customer, otherwise, the keep them closed so that storms won't rip off the awning covers.

You can always make an offer, even for those at PPL. You just never know how desperate owner/consignor might be to sell.

Good luck,

They have a couple of County Coaches in our price range, but we haven't made it over there yet.

We've been to two of their locations and found a couple "possibles", but no great deals. In my opinion, they have the biggest collection of run down, abused and just plain poor motor homes in the state, at least in the price and year range we're looking at. Granted, they don't own most of the coaches for sale so they don't have a lot to do with their condition. Many of them don't look like the owner did anything to prepare them for sale except hurriedly remove their stuff and drop it off. Some don't even look like they were washed. We walked into coaches that smelled, had obvious roof leaks, had stained carpets and furniture or just looked worn out. It's like the owners just decided that it was too much trouble or too expensive to fix the coach and wanted to ditch it. The problem is their asking price doesn't reflect the condition of the motor home. They are primarily a consignment facility and have a large inventory. Maybe the sheer number of motor homes for sale means they will have a commensurate number of lemons.

My Newmar dealer sells more new motor homes in the last quarter of the year than any other time.
