Want to join the RV lifestyle, but don’t have the budget to buy new? Or just want to try out the lifestyle before jumping completely in? Many RVers choose buying used over new when just starting out. 

You’ve bought an RV but now you want to upgrade to the latest and greatest. Get something bigger for the new truck you just upgraded. Maybe your RV is spending 90 percent of its time in storage and you feel a different owner would give your camper the adventures it deserves.

Campers Inn RV, the Nation’s Largest Family-Operated RV Dealership chain, is proud to announce that it is the Official RV & Motorhome Sponsor for the 2020 Carolina Country Music Fest (CCMF), June 4-7, 2020, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Do RVs depreciate? Just like other vehicles, RVs' value depreciates over time and its value depends on the brand and condition of the RV. Rare or classic RVs eventually stop depreciating and their value starts to go up if they are kept in excellent condition.

In order to determine the worth of your RV consider the following:

• NADA Value - it's like a Kelly Blue Book for RVs. It is used by banks and dealers to determine the national value of your RV.
• RV Listing Site - use RV listing sites like RV Trader and RVT to see what the going rate of your RV is in your market.
• Large RV Dealer Sites - use large dealer sites to see what similar new RVs are selling for in your area.

Camping is an activity that is widely loved by many families because it helps families bond with each other without the distractions of their everyday life.

And RVs are a great way to help families achieve their camping goals and build memories.  For many families that are just starting out RVing, travel trailers with bunkhouses are a popular option.

There is a bedroom for the parents and a bunk bed area for the kids that usually can be closed off with a door. In between both bedrooms is generally a living space and kitchen allowing the privacy needed for sleeping, but also providing a common area for families to get together and bond over meals and games. 

So, you bought your very first RV and you’re ready to take it out camping. The only problem is you’re not sure how to properly set it up for camp. What’s the first step? What do you need to know? What equipment do you need to bring?
