Largest Used RV Dealers In Northeast?

Hey everyone. My parents have a 2013 rear living Jayco and my brother just traded his 28' bunkhouse for a 2017 32' bunkhouse. Needless to say, both campers are in great shape.

One thing that's great about living here on Long Island is the ability to take your camper on the ocean beaches. We've only done it once and you can probably imagine just how sandy the inside got.

I'm interested in buying a lighter weight, older camper that would strictly be used for camping on the beach since we don't want to take the newer campers on the sand. Not only that, but we also like to do a fair amount of fishing so it's better to have the older camper for that. I'm not looking for anything fancy since this will probably be a guys only camper but I also don't' want it to be disgusting. :-)

I'm thinking that I'd like to stay at least under 5,000 lbs but preferably closer to 4,000 since I don't want to put too much strain on the truck while pulling through the sand. I'm open to hybrids or travel trailers but no popups.

There isn't a large selection locally so I'd probably have to look elsewhere. I'm thinking about a 2-3 hour max drive from NYC in any direction.

What dealers in that range would have the best and largest selection?

    There's really nothing here. The best dealer here is a Jayco only place and if they have 10 new units in stock then that's a lot. They're a great place but they just don't have the inventory. No local place does.


    You did say within a 2 - 3 hour drive of NYC. There are lots of dealers within a 2 - 3 hour drive of NYC. The dealer I linked to above has about 75 used RVs on the lot. About 5 minutes down the road in Turnersville, NJ is Hitch RV which has about 35 used units. Another quick drive from Turnersville to Newfield, NJ is Crossroads RV with 60+ used units. There's Scott Motor Coach in Lakewood, NJ - less than 90 minutes from NYC, they have about 25 used units. A little farther away in Westchester, PA is Stoltfuz RV & Marine with 55 used units. Garick RV in Oak Ridge, NJ (a little over an hour from NYC) has 35 used units.

    Use Google, find what you are looking for. Use Google Maps to find out how far away it is. I did that in a few minutes.

  • Going to second the CL recommendation and add on local papers "Wanted to Sell" sections. There is just no local place I'm aware of that can afford to keep a lot of RVs considering our R/E costs.

    Have you searched the web for Dealers in your area for their inventory? When looking for RVs we also see what is out there first before we go to the lot. There are many RV Dealerships in NJ. Our favorite Dealer in NJ is White Horse RV in Williamstown, NJ. They have a decent inventory of used equipment right now. There are other RV dealers further north in NJ that will be closer to you, but I can vouch for any of them.

    You need to look everywhere. Craigslist, RV trader, camping world etc. There is no ONE place. We purchased our new to us TT from CW in Kingston. Lot of listings on Craigslist locally and we sold our TT and TV on craigslist.


    The thing is that we are expanding our search area so CL isn't really worth it. Don't want to drive 150 miles away to check out a CL camper to find out I wasted my time. I'd much rather drive 150 miles and check out a bunch of used trailers in one or two spots.
