Are there risks associated with shopping for RVs online?
Yes, there are risks associated. The most common being scam ads, which attempt to lure an unsuspecting buyer into sending money by placing a ridiculously low-priced unit and requesting money for a down payment be sent. Buyers think they are getting an amazing deal, but on the other end is a crook who takes the money and disappears. For buyers to protect themselves, never inquire on an RV that has a price too good to be true, because 99 percent of the time it is a scam. Also, use a reputable escrow service when you can’t do a deal face to face. An escrow service acts as a go between for the buyer and seller. The service holds your money until you have received and inspected the RV. If there was a problem, you could easily get your money back.
