THE RV LIFESTYLE IS FLOURISHING RIGHT NOW . ARE YOU CONSIDERING A SECONDHAND RV IN ORDER TO JOIN THE THRONG ?
Right now , the caravanning and camping lifestyle is experiencing a resurgence to a level well beyond its former glory . Our nation ’ s conquering of covid-19 , while other parts of the world continue to struggle , means overseas travel is off the cards for the foreseeable future . The result : Australians are returning to our tourist destinations in record numbers .
Sales of new and used RVs are going through the roof . Each manufacturer I ’ ve spoken to recently has said its production lines were at capacity , with enough orders to keep them busy well into next year .
Sales of secondhand RVs have also hit stratospheric heights and , as the law of supply and demand dictates , so have the prices . In fact , some of the prices I ’ ve seen for vans and camper trailers on the secondhand market could only be described as eyewatering . If you want to buy anything , regardless of age and condition , you ’ ll be paying top dollar .
For this reason , the risk of purchasing someone else ’ s nightmare is high , especially if your budget is tight . So in this two-part series , we want to arm you with as much information as we can so you have the best chance of a successful secondhand RV purchase .
