On average, many RVers trade in their units every three years, just as you might a car. The driving force behind this is the more you RV, the more you understand your needs. By walking through campgrounds and talking with others about their RVs, you will be exposed to new trends, features and designs introduced each year. Therefore, as time passes, the desire to upgrade becomes greater.

At CrossRoads, we have designed our product lines to handle the array of features and amenities that customer may want. In our case, we believe quality should never be compromised (see construction section). Therefore, we recommend considering the balance you need with features, space utilization and price.

Some other considerations when it is time to upgrade are the following:

• Keeping your RV in the best condition will increase your trade-in value.
• It is important that repairs of your RV are corrected by a professional versus an inexperienced or low quality mechanic. Using your dealer is always the best way to reassure a glowing maintenance record at the time of trade-in.
• Consider what about your current RV could be improved in your next purchase. What pet peeves developed regarding space, quality and features that needs to be addressed?
• It is best to determine the trade-in value for your current unit before pricing a new one. This allows you to set a budget and a baseline for what you can afford and how much room you have to negotiate with your dealer.
• Take your time to shop around and understand the operations of a RV at a deeper level. This will help you decide on an unit that will bring you the greatest satisfaction and longevity.
• Be sure to have a final inspection of your current unit completed to help you determine it's overall condition for setting a trade-in value.
• Utilize our Buyers Checklist to help you evaluate your best purchase.
• When comparing units and brands against one another, be sure to compare apples to apples. Make sure the price reflects the same features and options you select.
