Travel Trailer Buying/Financing Questions

Hello all, this is my first post here. I’ve been lurking here a while looking for info on campers. I’m looking to buy a TT for the 2020 camping season and I’m trying to plan my finances accordingly. I’ll start with these three questions and go from there.

1: Do most dealers require a down payment to finance and if so, what % is typically required.

2: From what I’ve observed, it seems the best incentives are in December. Is this an accurate observation? I’m looking to get the best price by buying at the right time.

3: it seems like Camping World has the best prices and selection. Are there reasons not to buy from them?
  • The best prices I have seen are during and right after RV shows in are area.

    The dealers require nothing as they are not the ones financing. They go through banks and credit unions just like car dealers. You might want to check out credit unions ahead of time as they seem to offer some of the best terms.
