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.)
Does our Concierge Buying and Selling service sound fair to you?

Thank goodness for Al!!! Al helped us on both ends: buying our first used RV, and then selling it two years later before moving. We had never done either before, and Al made it a breeze. He helped us figure out what kind of camper would work for us, and then helped us find one at a good price–even in a tough market. Just recently, he helped us market and sell our RV, and we had a great outcome. Al was very available and supportive throughout. Can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Al! Daina
Daina, Best wishes to you and Mich as you move forward. Thanks for the kind words! Al
Al provide the expertise, the judgment, and the experience I needed. Our camper sold and we are buying that fits our family both in layout and quality. It was an adventure I wouldn’t want to attempt without an “RV Realtor”. Thank you for the help!
Brian, it was a pleasure. Thanks for your trust, and enjoy your nearly new Grand Design trailer! Al
Al was great to work with. I was looking for a motorhome for me and my son. As a first time RV purchaser I was glad to have his knowledge. He helped me refine what I needed and gave me the confidence to negotiate. I ended up finding what I wanted and we’ve already took a trip. Thanks Al.
Deb,
Glad to hear all is working out. It was a pleasure helping you to move forward with this purchase.

After working for 40 years my plan is to RV around America for 2 or more years. Alan’s expertise and knowledge is well worth the fee. He helped me save thousands of dollars on the best way to set up life as a full time RVer. This expertise not only covered suggesting the right type of RV, but extended to the truck and services such as mail / internet/ vehicle registration and insurance options. Highly recommended
Thanks Steve, enjoy your travels! Al
If you are new to the RV game as we, Alan’s expertise and help were invaluable as we navigated the many considerations that go into purchasing an RV. He listened to our needs, gave meaningful advice when considering what RV to purchase, vetted prospective selections, and negotiated with the owners to get us the best deal. This is especially important in this seller’s market and our savings more than compensated for Alan’s very reasonable fee. There is so much inventory out there and getting the best quality for the best price was Alan’s main objective for us. At the end, we ended up purchasing a great Class A well within our budget and look forward to “hitting the road”! Thanks Alan for working with us!
Olav & Carol,
It was a pleasure! Best wishes in your future travels, and if you find yourself in western Wyoming, look me up.

Folks, allow me to recommend Alan’s concierge services. She Who Must Be Obeyed and I live in the Arctic and were looking for a 5th wheel for spending some time in America. Al refined our focus and worked hard to find the right rig, including contacting sellers and updating us. His contacts in the industry allowed also allowed us to back away from what initially appeared to be a good prospect but actually had delamination problems. In the end he negotiated a fair price for a good unit. I have not picked it up yet, but title is in hand and the seller is actually installing new tires I purchased.
Don’t hesitate. Al will treat your right and get you squared away.
Mike
Thanks for your kind words Mike, keep me in the loop when you pick up your “new to you” camper. Al
Alan, thanks so much for all the help selling my truck camper. The add you created for the camper was the reason it sold so fast.. Alan is very knowledgeable he makes the selling experience very painless. From the bill of sale to to the pay off at the bank he is there to help. Thanks a lot Alan it was a pleasure meeting you
Thanks Matt, best of luck in the future. Al
Came across Allen’s blog when trying to sell our 5th wheel. After much consideration we decided to secure his services and I am so glad we did! He vetted all the inquiries and only reached out to us with serious buyers. We sold it to the first person who came to look at it ….for asking price!
Couldn’t have done it without him!
I highly recommend him!
Thanks so much for your kind words RaeShel, glad it all worked out smoothly. Al
As first time RV buyers, our heads were spinning with the vast amount of information out there. We had a good idea of what we wanted but that still left so many options. Alan was very responsive to all of our questions and communications. Straight away he assisted with determining the best options to meet our needs. We were initially set to buy from a dealer with his guidance but ultimately found the perfect, gently used unit. He saved us a great deal of time and we avoided the high pressure sales! I feel sure we avoided some “first-timer mistakes”. He is a great resource and provides an excellent service ! Very happy we worked with him.
Happy Trails, Karen & Clyde
Karen & Clyde,
Enjoy that Momentum and all the adventures you’ll have in it!
Al
I couldn’t have sold my RV without Alan’s expert advice & knowledge. He talked me thru each step of the selling process. Thankfully, he screened each interested party and after only having to show the rv twice I had a buyer.. I highly recommend Alan’s services.
Thanks so much for your kind words Debra, enjoy life sans the camper! Al
If you’ve seen the Seven Samurai or Magnificent Seven, you’ll know what we mean by saying that to hire Alan was like having our very own gunfighter to help us deal with the bandits of the RV marketplace. His insider knowledge of the motorhome business and his skill in conducting the price negotiations for us saved many thousands of dollars and a lot of anxiety. Before that stage, he helped us clarify our thinking about the vehicle we needed, and his advice was invaluable at every step of the way. We plan to leave his name and website address on our review for the dealership where we purchased our Winnebago, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to any other first-time RV buyers. Warmly, Kathy and Michael
Mike and Kathy, thanks so much for your kind words. May you enjoy your camper for years to come and have many adventures! Al
Doing research for a new Fifth Wheel we came across Allen blog. After interview we decided on his concierge services. We were not quite ready to purchase ourselves but our friends were very much in need. They proceeded and Allen found what they wanted quickly. Shortly after our circumstances change we proceeded with very specific make and model. Amazing but with the lords apparent blessing Allen found an exceptional unit within days.
Short ending within THREE WEEKS he found two exceptional specific hard to find units for us and our friends. Allen works hard and is very much worth his fee.
Tim, thanks so much for your kind words. I trust you and your friends will enjoy your campers for years to come. Al
