buying a class A motorhome

[furryman415]

We have done a lot of research and pricing. Has anyone out there had any experience with Motor Home Specialists in Texas.

With a motorhome the value drops by 20% as soon as you drive it off the lot. The value decreases with age much more than with the miles on the odometer. If I was looking for a motorhome I would research the brands with the best track record on irv2.com and similar places and then look for the models on my short list and get a used RV that I could buy from the original owner and with all their maintenance and repair records.

Thanks for the response.

We bought our 2014 Georgetown 378 at MHS. We worked with Jimmy Campanana. We would highly recommend him. He answered all e-mails & phone calls before we made our trip. I appreciated that Jimmy would speak from what he knew & if he didn't, he would check with someone who did have expertise.

MHSRV's pricing is what is listed on their website. We did look at RVs closer to home but no one could match the price & options we got at MHSRV. We had our own financing from our credit union but they do have financing available on site.

Know up front if you have a trade, that they essentially offer bottom dollar for the trade. Even with that, we traded. We weren't in a position to sell or consign. MHSRV even with the low trade $$ the final # was still cheaper than anywhere else - except for a 2010 used rig - that was the only deal we found that was less dollars than what we worked out with MHSRV. Brand new or a 4 year old rig with nowhere near the options? We went new.

After purchase, you have several days to stay on site in your new RV - get to know it, and to work out any issues you might find. They have it set up so you pull your old rig up with the door right across from the new RV. Back & forth we went with our stuff.

If you have more questions, let me know.
