The Truth About RV Deposits: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Before you drop a deposit on that RV or camper van, watch this video.

Seriously — it could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of frustration.


In this eye-opening video, Chris from IntoRV breaks down:

The difference between refundable and non-refundable deposits

• Why some dealerships push non-refundable deposits (and why that’s risky)

• When a deposit makes sense — and when you should walk away

• What to expect if you’re ordering a custom build or buying off the lot



Dealerships Use Deposits to Lock You In — Don’t Fall for It


Non-refundable deposits are often used to:

• Pressure you into a deal before you’ve had time to compare

• Keep you from shopping around for better rates or options

• Anchor you to their financing, even if it’s not in your best interest


At IntoRV, we believe that if a deal’s good, it shouldn’t require pressure tactics.



What’s Reasonable — And What’s Not


In the video, Chris explains:

• When a refundable deposit is fair (hint: rare or custom orders)

• What to watch for in dealer policies

• How to protect yourself with a clear paper trail and realistic timelines



Our Advice? Know the Terms Before You Pay


Don’t just hand over your money because a dealer says, “This unit won’t last.”

Watch the video, know your rights, and work with a financing partner who has your best interests at heart.
