Buying and Selling 1 – 2 – 3’s…  Tips to buying the right Gulfstream RV for you: 

1. What will you use your new (or used) Gulfstream RV for?  How many people will use it?  How may days per year will your recreational vehicle be used? 
2. How long will you own your rv?  Plan to sell it before you plan to buy it!  Sound tricky?  It’s not!  Most people keep their rv for five years.  What will your needs be five years from today?  Will you be rving more than today, or less? What will the resale value of the rv be, and how easy will it be to sell it?
3. What’s your budget?  Plan to spend half on the rv, and the other half on upkeep, insurance, travel and gasoline.  If your budget is $1,800. per month, what portion of that will be spent on the vehicle, and what portion on insurance, maintenance, gasoline, and space rentals?

When you’re considering insurance for your recreational vehicle you’ll need to gather the information prior to purchasing the the recreational vehicle for sale. Before you go rving, you’ll be looking at recreational vehicles such as new and used rvs, new and used tent trailers, pop up trailers, and all models of new and used campers for sale. Talk to the recreational vehicle dealer that specializes in new and used recreational vehicle sales about the rv or travel trailer accessories included so you can make a complete list for your recreational vehicle insurance needs. Insurance for recreational vehicles should not be overlooked, and is an important consideration in your budget.

Recreational vehicle dealers are knowledgeable about insurance needs for your recreatonal vehicle.  The insurance options available for recreational vehicles vary widely.  When you consider your budget for your recreational vehicle you’ll need to decide your tolerance for risk and loss.  As you might expect, the less you pay for recreational vehicle insurance, the more risk of loss you are exposed to.  This is where the recreational vehicle dealer can really help out by projecting the expenses for typical problems you might experience when rving.  On the lowest cost end of the scale for recreational vehicle insurance you’ll want to protect yourself from any damage you might cause to other people.  Just like driving a car, when you’re driving a recreational vehicle you need collision insurance.  And with new motor homes you’ll need a lot more than the bare bones insurance to protect your major investment! 

Which company provides the most comprehensive insurance recreational vehicle at the lowest cost?  Be resolved in your right to determine this answer!  Do not be pressured by a recreational vehicle dealer that needs to make recreational vehicle sales!  Your recreational vehicle dealer may offer insurance for your recreational vehicle.  Just like shopping for auto insurance, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best deal!  Plan your trip to the motorhome dealer in advance.  Make a list of the information you need to gather, and be firm with yourself and the rv dealer that before you are ready to go rving you will take the simple steps of gathering information, comparing that information, and making informed, pressure free decisions.   Remember that even if you were to pay cash today for your new motor home or used recreational vehicle, the expense of insurance will last the entire time you own your recreational vehicle….  Make an informed decision!
