Late fall and winter are generally the best times to buy a travel trailer or motorhome. Fewer people shop for RVs during this period, and less competition means you have more negotiating power. You may also find bargains right before a new RV model is released, when gas prices are up, and at RV trade shows.

Buy in the Off-season

With RV sales slowing, dealerships are more likely to offer discounts and incentives to clear their inventory and make room for next year's models. This makes October to January the best time of year to buy an RV.

Along the same lines, don't be afraid to attend RV shows or similar outdoor expos. And here's a little secret: go on the last day. Salespeople often have quotas or incentives to meet, and in such a fiercely competitive environment, your odds of finding a great deal are significantly higher on the final day.

Fair-market value for recreational vehicles is halfway between wholesale and retail.
