How This Unit Beats Competing RV Dealers

Price Right RV doesn’t just move units—we set you up for adventure confidently. While General RV or Camping World may lead with inventory, we deliver setup support, tow guidance, and local expertise.

Other online dealers list rigs. We build journeys.

Why It’s Popular: Buyers praise its intelligent layout and solar package for extended cozy campsite stays.
Who It’s For: Couples or solo adventurers who want comfort without hauling big rigs.
Common Comparisons: Smaller than Keystone’s Bullet, lighter than Jayco’s Jay Feather, more camp-ready than comparable Grand Design trailers.

Why Buy from Price Right RV

  • All-in pricing—no surprise fees
  • Two Michigan showrooms: Dewitt & Sterling Heights
  • Factory-trained techs and full warranty service
  • Easy trade-in and financing options
