Why Purchase a Luxury RV?

Is purchasing a luxury camper on your bucket list? Is it better to buy new or used? How much could a luxury RV cost?

Roulottes Lévesque answers all of your questions!

Why choose a luxury camper?

There are many reasons! Are you, for example, reaching retirement age? Or are you already retired? You may want extra comfort that, perhaps, a traditional travel trailer cannot offer. In that case, a luxury camper will be more appropriate for your needs.

Or maybe you would like to travel across the country, but the idea of sleeping in a series of different hotels along the way makes you skin crawl? At the same time, you would love to take advantage of amenities similar to the ones offered by hotels, or perhaps superior. A high-end camper can give you all of that and a lot more!

Finally, by opting for a high luxury camper like, for example, a Class A motorhome, you will not have to tow a travel trailer, since a motorhome combines both the vehicle and the RV. However, with the largest models, you will have the possibility of towing your smaller vehicle so that you can visit the surrounding area more easily than with your Class A!

Luxury camper: new or used?

There are advantages and disadvantages to buying new or used, depending on your needs and budget.

Advantages of buying new

When you purchase a new camper, you have the advantage of a full warranty which duration will depend on the manufacturer. You will have peace of mind, knowing that you are covered in case of bad luck. Moreover, when you buy a new model, you will have less repair and maintenance fees.

A new RV will also have more advanced technologies and will generally be more fuel efficient than an older model. It will normally be more comfortable and spacious, since new models offer more extensions than in the past, so as to adapt to clients’ needs.

However, a new model will cost more than a used RV.

Advantages of buying used

Obviously, the very first advantage is that the cost for purchase will be less for a used RV. The same way a car depreciates in value during its first years of life, a 2 or 3 year old camper will offer all advantages of a new model, but at a much lower price.

Moreover, by purchasing a used RV from a dealership, you will also be covered by a warranty that can go anywhere from a few months to a year. Ask your retailer for more details.

Risks of damage, water infiltration and other problems are more present on a used model. It will be very important to keep an eye on the state of your camper regularly so as to avoid steep bills!

In short, the decision to purchase a new or used camper mainly depends on your needs and budget!

Luxury camper: how much can it cost?

Just like real-estate, you will notice that luxury campers have prices that can vary greatly from one another, depending on make and model.

For example, a Class A motorhome like the Jayco Alante offers a starting price of around $ 180 000, while on the other end of the scale, the Embark (still by Jayco), begins at over $ 400 000. Certain models from other brands even break the $ 500 000 point and sometimes more!

Obviously, if you are thinking of using your camper 2 months out of the year and within a 300 km radius from your home, this may seem like a slightly excessive investment. However, if you are a road trip amateur and you love traveling far and wide for extended periods of time, you will greatly enjoy the comfort offered by these luxury RVs!
