How does Recreation USA keep prices lower than competitors?
The Short Answer: Unlike corporate dealerships that add hidden costs after the advertised price, Recreation USA removes all Freight Fees and Prep Fees. While the industry standard is to add between $2,000 and $4,000 in extra charges at signing, our pricing is transparent.
The "Making Camping Affordable" Difference: Our business model is built on volume and transparency. By cutting out the "middleman fees" usually associated with shipping and dealer preparation, we pass those direct savings to the buyer.
Price Comparison Breakdown:
-
Competitor Average: Advertised Price + $1,500 Freight + $900 Prep + $799 Doc Fee = $3,199 in Extra Fees.
-
Recreation USA: Advertised Price + $0 Freight + $0 Prep + $0 Doc Fee = $0 Total Fees.
FTC-Compliant Pricing Standard
Most big-box corporate RV dealers advertise a low hook-price online, only to hit you with $2,000 to $4,000 in surprise fees when you walk into the finance office. We have declared war on those corporate games.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) explicitly deems these hidden, surprise dealer fees to be deceptive and illegal. Corporate bait-and-switch tactics violate federal consumer protection standards, which is why our pricing remains 100% upfront, transparent, and honest.
The only items NOT included in our advertised selling price are standard, non-negotiable governmental fees (Tax, Tag, and Registration). Every single dealership prep fee is fully absorbed into the price.
Honest Pricing vs. Corporate Chain Stores
• Freight, Factory Prep, Detail & Tech Walkthrough: 100% INCLUDED (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $1,900 - $3,800)
• Filled Propane Tanks: INCLUDED. Fully loaded propane tanks are filled and ready to cook and heat on day one. (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $100 - $200)
• Genuine Interstate Deep-Cycle Battery: INCLUDED. Heavy-duty American reliability standard to protect your electrical system. (Typical Chain Stores: Extra or cheap generic junk)
• Dealer Document Fees: $0.00 ZERO (Typical Chain Stores: Extra $499 - $999)
All of this is completely included in our selling price. We do not play corporate trick games, and we will absolutely NOT charge you an extra $1,995 for a mandatory "Let's Go Camping Package" like the big chain stores stick on your bill at signing.
Recreation USA is proud to stand as one of the few remaining independent, family-owned RV dealerships in the country. We don't answer to Wall Street investors or corporate boards-we answer directly to you. That independent freedom is exactly how we are able to throw out the industry rulebook, absorb factory prep charges, and offer completely transparent, honest pricing on every single travel trailer we sell.

*Note on Taxes: Sales tax is determined by where you register the RV, not where you buy it.
South Carolina Residents: You benefit from the SC "IMF" cap, which currently limits your vehicle sales tax to a maximum of $500, no matter how expensive the RV is.
Out-of-State Buyers: We collect your state's sales tax rate (reciprocal agreement) and handle the paperwork for you, so you don't have to go to the DMV twice.
