Preparing to Buy Your Next Boat/RV

Buying a boat or RV is a big commitment! Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to trade in your current unit, here's a few tips to help you prepare to buy.

6+ Months Out

1. Find a local dealer and research units on the dealer's website.

2. Consider the size, type and use for your new boat or RV. Consider renting a unit of that type to see if it fits your needs.

3. Attend a boat or RV show in your area.

4. Prequalify for a loan and get an insurance quote to help you understand your budget.

2-6 Months Out

• While there's a lot of information online, visiting your dealership is the best way to view and ask questions about units within your budget.

• If you're trading in an older RV or boat, ask the dealer about trade-in requirements and savings.

• Once you narrow down your desired unit, talk to your financing representative about potential loans. Ask about the timeline for filling out a credit application.

Less than 60 Days Out

• Once you've selected your unit and have completed your conversation with your sales representative, they will set a delivery date. Work with the dealer for titling and registration.

• If you have not yet filled out out a full credit application with Priority One, do so now. Your loan representative will provide you with the most competitive offer from our lenders.

• Consider additional protections, like an extended service plan, to keep you protected from day one.

• Secure insurance.

Lastly, take your new purchase home and enjoy!
