Whether you prefer to travel by land, sea or plane, almost nothing compares to the thrill of seeing new places.

However, once you’ve been on the road for long enough, you may be tired of the packing and repacking, checking in to flights and out of hotels — not to mention the unsuccessful attempts at claiming your half of the armrest.

If this sounds like you, you may want to consider buying a recreational vehicle (RV). There are plenty of perks: It can save you money, it feels like home and it gives you more freedom than other types of travel.

Let’s look at the best time to buy an RV and some of the benefits of owning an RV.

When is the best time to buy an RV?

You’ll want to take a few factors into consideration.

It may be tempting to invest in an RV when the sun is shining, the trees are blooming and the fresh summer days are yawning ahead.

Don’t. It’s during the best weather that prices for RVs are at their peak. Think early spring to early fall, when the roads are good and families have time off.
