Many approach purchasing a motorhome like they would approach any other automobile purchase. Others approach it the same way they would approach a home sale. Both of these will leave you in a less than desirable position in the buying process.
Pedata RV Center offers these tips for buying a motorhome.
- If you’ve never driven a motorhome try renting one before you buy. This is will give you a point of reference. You’ll need to know what you feel comfortable driving before you commit to purchase any one type of vehicle.
- Do your research before you actually start test driving. Know which size of motorhome you are interested in purchasing (which will suit your needs and your budget) before you start talking to even the nicest salesman. Only test drive the models that suit your needs.
- Determine which features and floor plan layout options are required in order to meet the needs of you and your family.
- Test drive it. And test drive it again. Test drive the competition. And test drive the cheaper model. Test drive as many options as are available. There’s no reason to rush your purchase.
- Research the manufacturers and know the reputations behind their products. Choose a motorhome that has a trustworthy manufacturer that stands behind their products.
- Buy from a reputable dealer. Ask questions, ask for a tour of the lot, and make sure that you are dealt with professionally.
Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “The happiest customers we have are those who knew what they were looking for before they even got in touch. It’s our job to find them what they’re looking for; so when they can easily tell us what that is…it makes our job a whole lot easier.”
Pedata RV Center sells used RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, campers, and motor homes. Their full inventory is accessible online. Easy access to industry and recreational vehicle information allows consumers to have access to the specific knowledge they need to ensure their purchase results in long term satisfaction.

When it comes to camping, the earlier you make your reservations at your favorite campground, the better. As many campers discover, campgrounds often fill up quickly during the summer season. The best time to make camping reservations is just before spring, especially if you plan to camp on a major holiday weekend. If the campground of your choice is open seasonally, you’ll want to pay attention to when it reopens and react accordingly. Make your reservations as soon as you know what days you’re going.
Not only does each campground offer something different, but each camp site often offers something different. Advanced reservations allow you to get a prime camping site, depending on what amenities you like to take advantage of. Water lovers may want to camp near lakes, hikers may choose to be close to trails — if you book early enough, you may be able to select your ideal location. Ask the campground staff questions about the different sites to ensure you get one that suits your needs and wants.
There are over 1,000 campgrounds in Michigan, located near popular destinations, along major tourist routes and even in metropolitan areas. You can stop — without the high cost of hotels — to fish, barbeque, or spend time with your family. Many campgrounds are like resorts, with pools, playgrounds, game rooms and more. If you’re still looking for the perfect campground to stay at this year, visit www.marvac.org and use the site’s searchable database of quality campgrounds. Simply select “Campgrounds” under “Member Listings” and you can browse campgrounds by region, amenities offered and more.
