Why Buying a Well-Travelled Motorhome is A Smart Move

Many people hesitate when it comes to high-mileage vehicles for road trips. However, opting for an ex-rental motorhome or campervan with more kilometres can be a wise and budget-friendly decision, offering many benefits that make them worth the investment. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or new to the lifestyle, let’s explore the advantages of choosing a used motorhome and bust some common myths along the way!

1. Proven Reliability

Our motorhomes for sale have already demonstrated their reliability by navigating diverse terrains across Australia, from city roads to the rugged Outback. At Cruisin RV Sales, our ex-rental vehicles are serviced regularly to ensure they stay road-ready, and each vehicle undergoes a thorough reconditioning process before being sold. When you choose an ex-rental motorhome, you’re investing in a vehicle that has been well-maintained and designed to last.

2. Excellent Value For Money

Well-Travelled motorhomes have usually already undergone the steepest depreciation. This means that any further loss in value will likely be more gradual, which is an advantage if you decide to resell.  Our motorhomes and campervans come at a significantly lower price point compared to new models. This means you can get more features and space for your budget. For instance, at Cruisin’ RV Sales, for a fraction of the cost of a new one, you’ll find these models:

• Avida Motorhomes: Fully equipped kitchen (with a 190L 3-way fridge and freezer, a 3-burner stove, a grill and a microwave), an ensuite bathroom with a separate shower and toilet, and up to 3 comfortable double beds (sleeps up to 6 people).

• Fiat Ducato Motorhomes: Fully equipped kitchen (with a 95L 3-way fridge and freezer, a 3-burner stove, a grill and a microwave), a shower and toilet, and a permanent rear double bed.

• Toyota Hiace Campervans: Well-equipped kitchen (with a 60L 2-way fridge and freezer, a 2-burner stove, and a microwave), and up to 2 comfortable double beds (sleeps up to 4 people).

Ex-rental motorhomes and campervans can often save you 30-50%. For example, choosing an ex-rental Avida model can free up funds for customisation or even an extended cross-country road trip.

At Cruisin RV Sales, we make it easy for you to experience the lifestyle with our Try Before You Buy program: Rent a motorhome, and if you decide to buy, we’ll refund the rental cost.

3. Free Warranties

4. Well-Maintained Vehicles

All our vehicles undergo routine inspections and maintenance between rentals. Each motorhome for sale at Cruisin RV Sales has passed a comprehensive 150-checkpoint inspection, ensuring components like brakes, tyres, and engines are in top condition. We also provide the service history and a gas certificate for added transparency. A well-maintained ex-rental motorhome can often be in better shape than a privately owned vehicle with fewer kilometres.

At Cruisin’ RV Sales, we always look for upgrades to enhance the everyday comfort and functionality of our motorhomes and campervans.

5. Built for the Long Haul

Our rental fleet is built to a higher standard than typical consumer models, designed to endure thousands of kilometres and still perform exceptionally well. This means that even after covering a lot of ground, these motorhomes can continue to provide a dependable and comfortable experience for years.

When you buy from Cruisin RV Sales, you get a vehicle that has proven itself across Australia’s varied landscapes. This level of durability means greater peace of mind for you as the new owner!

6. Detailed Maintenance History

One of the biggest advantages of purchasing an ex-rental motorhome is access to a service history. At Cruisin RV Sales, we provide comprehensive maintenance records for each vehicle, including past upgrades and repairs. This transparency helps you make a confident purchase, knowing exactly what kind of care the motorhome has received.

7. Practical Experience Included

Finally, buying an ex-rental with high mileage can give you practical insights into the roadworthiness and travel readiness of the vehicle. Used motorhomes have gained practical experience navigating Australia’s unique landscapes. Whether it’s the forests of Tasmania, the coastal roads along the Great Ocean Road, or the dusty trails of the Outback, these vehicles have proven their resilience. With a tried-and-tested vehicle, you can confidently plan your own extended road trips.

Buying a high-mileage motorhome from a trusted source like Cruisin RV Sales doesn’t mean compromising on quality. With benefits such as cost savings, proven reliability, regular maintenance, and the opportunity for customisation, these vehicles are an ideal choice for travel enthusiasts looking to explore Australia!
