You've done the research and decided a new RV is on your list this year. Great! Forest River makes a good choice due to their quality and value. The problem, if you can call it that, is Forest River makes so many different kinds of motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels and toy haulers, you might have trouble deciding exactly which one is right for you. Luckily, our handy buying guide can help you sort things out.

Perhaps the most important aspect of buying a new Forest River RV is working with a reputable dealer. Every major city has at least one RV dealer that offers new Forest River motor homes and travel trailers for sale at prices to suit every budget. Use the search feature on our main page to locate the Forest River dealer nearest you or to request a quote right now. The dealer's knowledgeable sales staff can answer all the questions you have about buying a new Forest River RV. In fact, you can rely on the highly trained staff at your RV dealership to help you with all aspects of buying a new Forest River travel trailer or fifth wheel.

Before you start shopping for a new Forest River RV, you need to determine what type of RV is right for you. Recreational vehicles basically fall into two categories: motorized and towable. Forest River makes both types of RVs. You can get information on all RV types simply by visiting RV dealers and looking at a lot of units. You can also log on to industry websites, such as RVIA.org, or follow these links in order to help decide which type of RV is right for you.

Visiting RV dealerships will not only help you get a good understanding of what's involved with owning a motorhome or travel trailer, but you'll also get a good idea of prices. Budget is a major consideration when it comes to buying a new RV. Experts recommend that you consider how often you'll be using your new RV when you create your budget. As a rule of thumb, the more often you'll use it, the more you should consider spending. It doesn't make sense to spend top dollar on an RV if you're only planning to use it once or twice a year. Because Forest River makes such a wide variety of travel trailers, you can be sure to find one that fits your budget.

Forest River offers over 30 models of motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, lightweight trailers and tent trailers (also called "pop-ups"), which can make finding the right one difficult. In order to narrow your choices, consider how many people will be sleeping in the vehicle. Will you be doing a lot of cooking in it? Do you need space to haul ATVs, bikes, jetskis or other toys? Is gas mileage a consideration? These questions will help you figure out which particular model will best serve your needs.

Once you've narrowed your choice to a handful of models, start looking at individual units with an eye for livability. Take time to move through the RV the way you would on a typical day. Does the floor plan accommodate your needs? Flop down on the bed. Is it comfortable? Can you close the door when you're inside the bathroom? Can you fit comfortably inside the shower?

You should be able to find a Forest River trailer that meets your personal livability test. That's because Forest River offers a huge array of floor plans, interior decor options, slide-out configurations, and amenities.

Finally, you should always spend the night in your chosen RV before buying it. This is standard practice in the RV industry, so don't be shy about asking your dealer about doing so. After all, buying a new motorhome or travel trailer is a major investment, and you'll be spending a lot of time living in your new RV. Taking it for a "test sleep" before buying is good insurance.

Buying a new RV can be a wonderful experience. Just remember to work with a reputable dealer in your local area, do your own research on RV types, and perform a rigorous livability analysis on your top three models.
