Clark Howard's Tips
June 2, 2006
The motor home business is growing by leaps and bounds these days. People seem to love the idea of having their home wherever they go.
But recreational vehicles can cost quarter of a million dollars, and they're not always reliable. Buying an RV is not like buying a car or truck, where there is mass production and lemon laws to protect you. If some kind of law does exist it's only on the power train of the vehicle.
When you buy an RV, you're kind of on your own. There are even attorneys that specialize in RV issues because so many are coming up.
Because there is so much risk involved, you need to buy an RV from a reputable dealer. Clark also recommends renting an RV and traveling around in one for awhile before buying.
You may think it's your dream, but you may turn out to hate it. Also, people seem to have better luck with the RVs you tow instead of the ones that have motors in them.
So be cautious before you take the plunge.
