Thanks to the pandemic to a great extent, RV sales have hit record levels. That, plus production delays due to a lack of sub-contractor parts, have a shortage of RVs.

Rather than wait for the time when production of new RVs are stabilized, people are opting to buy a used RV. 

There are benefits and pitfalls to buying used, but, fortunately, RV Life has posted six tips on finding a used RV for sale.

They begin with:

RV sales have gone through the roof in recent years. Because the demand for RVs has gone up so much, and there is limited supply due to back orders caused by the pandemic, the prices of RVs have skyrocketed. For this reason, many people have chosen to skip the dealerships and look instead for a cheaper used RV for sale.

This is a fantastic idea for a number of reasons. For one thing, many of the RVs that were purchased as impulse buys in the past year are now being sold at a significant discount. Another reason buying a used RV is an excellent idea is because the value of a brand-new rig drops dramatically the moment it is driven off the lot. Buying used allows you to avoid this huge loss. Finally, we love buying used because we know that all of the initial issues new RVs tend to come with have already been addressed. 

All that said, there are definitely some things you should know before you start shopping for a used RV for sale. Using the tips below will help ensure you get exactly what you want at a fair price.
