Buying from a dealership matters more with a used RV than with almost any other vehicle.

That’s the practical difference between a dealership and a roadside private-party sale.

What kinds of used RVs will you find?
Used inventory changes constantly, so the best way to see what’s on the lot is to browse McClain’s used RVs, filter by the Kerrville store, or call. In general, a used RV lot spans several categories, and knowing which one fits your travel style narrows the search fast:
- Travel trailers – tow behind a properly rated SUV or pickup; a common first RV.
- Fifth wheels – hitch in a pickup bed and offer more living space.
- Toy haulers – add a rear garage for ATVs, bikes or gear.
- Motorhomes – Class A, B and C units you drive rather than tow.
McClain’s sells new RVs from Grand Design, Winnebago, Tiffin, Renegade, KZ, Highland Ridge, Thor Motor Coach and Grech RV, and trade-ins often include those same brands, which can make parts and service easier to source down the road.
Should you buy a used RV from a dealer or a private seller?
A used RV from a dealership may cost more upfront than a private-party sale, but it removes a lot of the risk that makes used RVs intimidating. Here’s the honest tradeoff:
| Dealership | Private seller | |
|---|---|---|
| Service department to look over and repair the unit | Yes | No |
| Financing arranged at the sale | Yes | You arrange your own |
| Trade-in accepted | Yes | Rarely |
| Title and registration paperwork | Handled by the dealer | Up to you and the seller |
| Texas sales tax basis | Purchase price | Purchase price or standard presumptive value, whichever is higher |
That last row surprises a lot of buyers. According to the Texas DMV, Texans who buy a used vehicle from anyone other than a licensed dealer pay the 6.25 percent motor vehicle sales tax on the purchase price or the standard presumptive value, whichever is higher. Dealer sales use the purchase price. The Texas Comptroller has the details.
For a first-time RV buyer, or anyone who doesn’t want to gamble on hidden water damage, the dealership route is often worth it. An experienced buyer who can inspect a rig thoroughly and handle repairs may save money with a private sale.
How do you inspect a used RV before you buy?
Check the roof, seals, tires, appliances and title on any used RV before you commit, whether you buy from a dealer or a private seller. Water intrusion is one of the most expensive problems in a used RV, and it’s often invisible from the doorway.
- Roof and seals: Look for cracked sealant, soft spots and staining on the ceiling and around windows and vents.
- Floor and walls: Press for softness near slide-outs, the bathroom and entry steps, which can signal rot.
- Tires: Read the manufacture date in the tire identification number on the sidewall and look for cracking. NHTSA’s tire safety page explains how to read it.
- Appliances and systems: Run the AC, furnace, fridge, water heater and every slide-out through a full cycle.
- Recalls: Enter the VIN in the NHTSA recall lookup. On a motorhome, check the chassis too.
- Title and history: Confirm a clean title and ask about accident or repair history.
At a dealership, ask what inspection a used unit received before it was listed, and have the service team walk you through the condition of the specific rig you’re considering. Our new vs used RV guide covers more of what to look for.
Can you finance or trade in on a used RV?
Yes. McClain’s offers RV financing and accepts trade-ins on used RV purchases, but no dealership can promise a rate, term or approval in advance. Financing depends on your credit, the lender and the age, type and cost of the RV. Start with the trade-in form, and the team will follow up.
