Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about buying, financing, shipping and owning an RV from a nationwide online dealer.

Category 01

Buying & Inventory

How our 5,000+ unit online RV inventory works and what to expect when you buy.

What kinds of RVs does Caravan AVM sell?

We carry new and used RVs of every type — travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes, toy haulers, pop-up campers, truck campers and small campers. With more than 5,000 units in inventory from brands like Grand Design, Jayco, Winnebago, Thor, Forest River, Heartland, Coachmen, Dutchmen, CrossRoads and East to West, there is a rig for every budget and every kind of trip.

Is Caravan AVM a 100% online dealership?

Yes. We are a fully online RV dealer with no physical showroom to visit. That lower-overhead model is how we keep prices competitive and deliver door-to-door to all 50 states. You browse, pre-qualify, buy and take delivery entirely online, with a real team a phone call away at every step.

How do I know the condition of a used RV I can't see in person?

Every unit is inspected before it is listed and again before it ships. Each listing includes detailed photos, year, make, model and condition notes so you know exactly what you are getting. If you want more detail on a specific rig, call us at 1 (888) 626-7576 and we will walk you through it.

Can I reserve or place a hold on an RV?

Absolutely. Because we sell nationwide, popular units move quickly. Placing your order or a deposit takes the RV off the market and reserves it in your name while we finalize paperwork and schedule delivery.

Are there any hidden fees or dealer add-ons?

No. We believe in transparent, no-hidden-fees pricing. The only cost beyond the listed vehicle price is shipping to your location, which is calculated per order and added to your down payment. There are no surprise documentation, prep or destination fees waiting at the end.

What if I'm not sure which type of RV is right for me?

Tell us how you camp — how many people travel with you, what you tow with, where you like to go and your budget — and we will match you with the right category and floorplans. Our team helps first-time buyers and seasoned RVers alike choose confidently.

Category 02

Financing & Payments

Simple, transparent financing with 10% down and rates as low as 8.99% APR.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Financing is available with just 10% down site-wide. On top of that, you cover shipping to your location — that combined amount is your total up-front cost, and there is nothing hidden beyond it.

What interest rate and terms can I get?

Qualified buyers get rates as low as 8.99% APR with terms up to 240 months (20 years). Longer terms keep monthly payments low, while shorter terms save on total interest — we help you find the balance that fits your budget.

Will checking my financing hurt my credit score?

No. You can pre-qualify in minutes with no impact to your credit. Our soft-pull pre-qualification shows you the rate and payment you can expect before any hard inquiry, so you can shop with real numbers and zero risk to your score.

How does financing work for RVs under $5,000?

Vehicles priced under $5,000 are sold on a 0% interest installment plan instead of traditional financing. You pay in 12 monthly payments with $0 down — no interest and no large up-front lump sum. It is the easiest way to get into an affordable rig.

How long does pre-qualification take?

Just a few minutes. Fill out a short form online and you will see your estimated rate, term and monthly payment quickly — all with no impact to your credit.

Can I put more than 10% down or pay off my loan early?

Yes. Ten percent is the minimum down payment, but you are welcome to put more down to lower your monthly payment. Our financing has no prepayment penalty, so you can pay ahead or pay off the balance early whenever you like.

Do I need perfect credit to get approved?

Not at all. We work with a range of credit profiles and lenders. The best way to see what you qualify for is to pre-qualify online — it takes minutes, does not affect your credit, and gives you a real answer.

Category 03

Shipping & Delivery

Fully insured, door-to-door delivery to all 50 states — the only cost beyond the price.

Do you deliver to my state?

Yes. We offer door-to-door delivery to all 50 states. Wherever you are, we bring your RV straight to you — no need to travel to a lot or arrange your own transport.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is based on your delivery location — the distance to your ZIP code — and is calculated for each individual order. It is the only additional cost beyond the vehicle price, and it is simply added to your down payment so everything is settled up front.

Is my RV insured during transport?

Yes. Every delivery is handled by fully insured, professional transport. Your RV is covered from the moment it leaves our care until it arrives safely at your door.

How long does delivery take?

Timing depends on your distance and the delivery schedule, but most orders arrive within a couple of weeks of finalizing paperwork. We give you an estimated window when you order and keep you updated along the way.

What happens when my RV arrives?

Your RV is delivered directly to the address you provide. We coordinate the drop-off time with you in advance so you can be there to receive it, look it over and take the keys.

Can shipping be added to my financing?

Shipping is added to your down payment rather than rolled into the loan, so it is paid as part of your up-front cost. This keeps your financed balance tied to the vehicle price and your monthly payment predictable.

Category 04

Selling & Trade-In

Thinking about your current rig? Here's how selling or trading in works with us.

Can I trade in my current RV?

Yes. Send us details and photos of your current RV — year, make, model, mileage or usage, and condition — and we will give you a fair value estimate you can apply toward your next purchase.

How do you determine my trade-in value?

Value is based on the year, make, model, condition, mileage and current market demand for your unit. We aim for fair, transparent offers with no lowball surprises, and we explain how we arrived at the number.

Can I sell my RV to Caravan AVM without buying one?

In many cases, yes. If you simply want to sell, reach out at hello@caravanavm.com with the details and photos and we will let you know what we can offer.

Does a trade-in lower my down payment?

It can. Trade-in value is applied toward your purchase, which can reduce the amount you finance and, in turn, your 10% down payment. We will show you exactly how it affects your numbers before you commit.

After the Sale & Service

What to expect once your RV is in your driveway — support, warranty and service.

What support do I get after my RV is delivered?

Our team stays with you after delivery. Whether you have questions about your unit, your paperwork, your title and registration or how something works, you can reach us Mon–Sat 9AM–7PM CT at 1 (888) 626-7576 or hello@caravanavm.com.

Do the RVs come with a warranty?

New units carry the manufacturer's warranty, and many used units are eligible for extended service-plan coverage. Ask us about the specific warranty or protection options available for the rig you are considering.

How do I handle title and registration for an online purchase?

We provide all the documentation you need to title and register your RV in your home state, and we walk you through the process. Requirements vary by state, so we help you confirm the steps for your location.

What if something isn't right when my RV arrives?

Every unit is inspected before it ships, but if you notice an issue at delivery, contact us right away. We stand behind what we sell and will work with you to make it right.

Where do I go for maintenance and repairs?

Because we deliver nationwide, routine maintenance and repairs can be handled by a certified RV service center near you. We are happy to point you toward reputable options and advise on keeping your RV in top shape.

How do I get in touch with a real person?

Call 1 (888) 626-7576 or email hello@caravanavm.com. Our hours are Mon–Sat 9AM–7PM CT, with Sunday available by appointment. You will always reach a knowledgeable member of our team.
