Best time to buy new?

[swimmer_spe]

We have an RV that we plan on replacing in the next few years. We want to go new, not used, but want to get the best deals. Is it better to buy at the end of the season or at the start of the season? I know end of the season will be less selection.

IMO the best deals are when you see a full sales lot of new RVs. Owner is paying big monthly bills to the manufacturers.

The best time for you to buy me a new trailer is tomorrow. I'm available all day. 🙂

Slow season is usually the best time although deals can be had anytime, we bought our current rig late last summer when Covid-19 was raging and got a kicking deal. I know the RV dealers here in Albuquerque have rows and rows of unsold RVs, I guess panic buying did not occur to the same degree as other areas of the country. No doubt the very slightly used market for towable RVs will be heavily enriched with rigs of all sorts as we approach pre-virus normality.

Lol, yea, 2 years ago would have been good. If you can wait a year or two the used market may expand. Thats if forest river dosen't have any more fires.

I agree with way2roll.

I think best deals are at the end of the season, but sounds like you are a couple years out.

You won't get a deal this year. COVID has put RV's in high demand and supply can't keep up. Dealers can't keep units on the lot. Next year you would probably get a great deal on some of the RV's COVID campers bought and no longer want. I expect the slightly used market will be saturated.
