Buying an RV camper? Help is here!
Camping is LOTS of fun and a great family (or individual) lifestyle – whether as a weekend warrior or as a full time traveler, but lets face it, the process of selecting and buying a camper has many potential pitfalls.
In an industry where MOST RV campers (trailers and motorhomes) are built to very low standards and many dealers resort to actions that are designed to simply extract more of your hard earned money from you there has to be a better way!
RV Buying Guide…
RV Across America(.net) Concierge RV Buying (and selling) Service
Allow me to introduce you to our Concierge RV Buying (and Selling) Service. Looking to buy a camper (trailer or motorhome) but you’re not sure which brands (manufacturers) are best to go with, what length is optimal for your use, and the relative attributes of various floor plans?
RV Concierge Service – Have an RV Buying Guide “by your side”…
We’re here to help you with the process by becoming your “guide by your side” and when it comes to identifying “the one” that meets your needs (and budget), we’re here to act as your negotiator and more!
Simply put, with our RV Buying Service we will assist you at all stages of the purchase – including navigating the myriad of fees some dealers try to charge and… advising you on what offers the dealer may present at your closing that you should consider or reject outright – and what these offers should cost. (Be sure to check our reviews at the end of this post.)
During our initial conversation, we will discuss your wants, needs and budget, along with the geographic reach of our search for your new (or used) camper. We will have a frank discussion about which campers (brands) are well made and which are worth avoiding with no bias of having inventory on one particular lot that’s “gotta go.”
You see, when it comes to finding the RIGHT camper for you, we’re not limited to any one dealer and the campers on their lot – our search for your ideal camper can be nationwide if you like! We’re also going to have a talk about “new” vs. “used” campers and which path may be best for you.
When it comes to camping and RV campers – we have experience
Alan, the developer of our RV Buying Service has been a full time traveler since December 2011 and has been active in RV Consulting and Sales for the past 9 years now. He knows which campers are worth your hard earned money – and which are not AND what you should be paying for it – whether new or used.
To learn more about the camper Alan selected for himself AND what he looked at in its design and engineering that matters – click HERE. To gain a sense of who Alan is and his depth of knowledge and experience, please review the posts right here on RV Across America.net
Through our RV Buying Service, we WILL negotiate the BEST deal for you on the camper YOU want.
We will contact the seller (whether it’s a dealer OR private individual) on your behalf and simply put, get you the BEST possible deal. We will also advise you on after-market options – you know, the ones you’re hit with in the dealers finance office. Some are worth considering, some are not. We can also provide advice on obtaining a RV loan and what a good loan looks like.
Our Concierge Buying (and Selling) Service can literally save you thousands.
Quoting Alan, “Effectively, what I do is become your advisor and your advocate. Unlike an rv salesman, I do not have any inventory staring at me outside my office – so when we talk, I help you identify the right camper for YOUR needs – and in doing so, avoid all the absolute JUNK made in this industry (especially in the towable world.)
Our Concierge RV Buying Service Fee…
Our fee? Its simple – $625. one time fee and we become your consultant, ‘your guide by your side, who also has your back’, and negotiator through the entire buying process! Interested? Contact us at traveler@rvacrossamerica.net or text us at 307 269 2546 and we will call you back.
Selling a Camper?
Lastly, if you have a camper and want to sell it, don’t trade it in and lose big time on a dealer’s offer. Dealers often “hide” what they’re really giving you for your trade!) We will get you far more by selling it privately.
Here’s how it works – you supply us photos of your camper, we will have a frank discussion to set a realistic price for your camper and then we will proceed to post effectively worded and structured ads for you to get it sold.
The prospective buyers initial contact will come to us. We will answer the prospective buyers questions and screen them to insure they’re serious AND qualified – and NOT scammers! For those who are, we will pass them onto you to let them see the camper. When it comes to negotiation, we’re there to assist right up to the point where the buyer is handing you cash! Our fee for selling your camper is a one time $850. fee (may be less depending upon the type of advertising required to sell your camper.)
A special offer if you’re SELLING then BUYING…
If you’re looking to sell your camper and then buy a new camper, we will handle both transactions for a fee of $1350. (may be less depending upon the type of advertising required to sell your camper.)

Hi I will contact you shortly about my interest in a gently used Class C Rv.
Mimi,
I’m here to help.

I cannot thank Alan enough for guiding me step by step through the RV buying process! Completely new to RV’s, I did not know where to start. Alan discussed our situation, needs and preferences and came up with the perfect RV for us.
He was so patient explaining the particulars and answering my questions without making me feel like a “pain in the neck”. He steered me away from bad deals and saved me a ton of money even though it is a seller’s market!
We are now the proud owners of a 2019 Vilano 373FB. It looks brand new. Alan made the transaction seamless. I heartily recommend his concierge service.
Thank you, Alan
Lauri,
May you and your husband enjoy many years in your ‘nearly new’ Vanleigh 5th wheel! Thanks for your trust.
Al
We can’t thank Al enough! We were totally new to RVing, and Al was invaluable in our early discussions, to help us figure out what kind of RV we wanted and needed. We really feel now like we got the right size and model, and we would NOT have done that without Al, I’m sure we would have gone way too big. Also, in terms of scoping out RVs, we could not have done this without Al. He gave us the confidence we needed to find a great deal on a quality RV that had some superficial problems. The RV market is super tight right now, and without Al, I’m sure we would still be RV-less. Thanks so much for your help, Al!
Daina,
May you and Mich enjoy your CoachHouse for years to come and may it serve you well! Thanks so much for your kind words.
Al
The best decision I made in buying an RV was to hire Al to help with my purchase. As a first time RV buyer he helped steer me towards quality built trailers with the best layout for my wants and needs. Once we found the right trailer he saved me thousands of dollars off the listed price! Yes thousands!
The best decision you can make is to hire Al
Thanks again,
Dennis Dion
Thanks for your kind words Dennis. Enjoy your “new to you” Arctic Fox trailer! Al
Al was a life saver for us! He found us 7 class C motor homes within a day and when I came time for negotiations on price he slammed it! Got us almost 20% off asking price which was $3k under what I told him my max could be on this specific unit. When I came time to sell it he had that done for us with a day. Could not have gone smoother not easier. Thanks again Al for EVERYTHING!
Zach, I’m glad it all worked out and we were actually able to sell your C at a profit shortly after your purchase! Al
Couldn’t have done it without Al!
He’s literally a walking encyclopedia of well-rounded RV knowledge. We are newbies and buying used to renovate.
We had exactly what we wanted within 2 weeks. He guided & educated us on every aspect.
His experience in the industry, living full time, coupled with his diligent and factual manner got us the VERY best deal & his guidance on the final walkthrough MORE than worth $600.
From our fantastic experience, Al the RV Consultant, is legit and can save you thousands!!
Thanks so much for your kind words Chris and Wendy! Enjoy that Carriage 5er – it was built to last years and serve you well. Al
Working with Alan was a fantastic experience. Even though we were in the midst of a buying frenzy (thanks to the COVID Pandemic) Alan went above and beyond to help me figure out what trailer would meet my criteria. It was quite a challenge to find a trailer since they were literally selling out nearly every day. But he finally did find me one and closed a great money saving deal. Well worth his fee. I highly recommended working with Alan you won’t be disappointed.
Glenn, thanks for your kind words. Enjoy your Lance in good health for many years to come! Al
Alan was AWESOME!!! Sold my 5th Wheel within a day of Alan posting the ad for just above the asking price. He is very easy to deal with and has great advice from his years in the RV business. It was well worth his $600.00 fee, I will be contacting him when ready to buy our next fifth wheel. Thanks again Alan!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words Robert. I’m glad we were able to get your price on your camper – and do it quickly! Al
Alan was very helpful in knowing which brands of RV were considered to be “iconic brands“ and which ones are the ones to stay away from.
Also, his recommendation on which is the best extended warranty plan saved me money. The plan that my dealer sells offers half the coverage for twice the price as the plan that Alan recommended. The amount of money I saved on buying the right plan which Alan recommended, more than paid for his $600 fee.
Thanks so much for your kind words Val. Enjoy your Carriage in good health! Al
It was time to upgrade our RV and I was dreading the process of selling our existing unit. So, with much anxiety about hiring “some guy on the internet” that we’d never met, we engaged Alan’s concierge service to help sell our travel trailer Thank goodness we did! Alan’s market knowledge and experience is invaluable!! He gave us prep tips, had us send him pictures, and then wrote and posted ads. SOLD! in just 1 day at a price we hadn’t dreamed possible. You’ve made some true believers here and we highly recommend your services to anyone looking to sell an RV.
Alan, we cant thank you enough and look forward to your assistance as we search for our next RV.
Jeff and Rhonda,
Thanks so much for your kind words. Yep, 1 day impressed even me!
Al
We just spent a great week learning about our new coach we Got on May 28th. A road trip from Iowa to Seatle Wa.
Allen helped us find a RV in a week. We flew out bought it and worked our way back.
He worked well with us. Even putting up with me finding RV and sending him leads of RV he had already looked at.
He was quick to reply when we had a question. Warned us away from bad deals and RV.
In the end we have an amazing 2016 Class A Triumph 31C.
People think it is brand new. He helped us greatly. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
Thanks from the whole family.
Rickey Family
Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you’re getting familiar with your camper. I look forward towards hearing about your future adventures. Al
