We work with lenders for all credit tiers — from 580 and up. Higher scores get better rates, but we have programs for new buyers and credit-rebuilding situations too.

Most RV loans run 10 to 20 years depending on the unit price and lender program. Longer terms keep payments low but cost more in interest over the life of the loan.

Most RV financing requires 10–20% down, but qualified buyers can sometimes finance with less. Larger down payments lead to better rates and lower monthly payments.

Spring (March–May) or fall (September–October) for most owners on the Gulf Coast — that's pre-camping season and post-camping season. We recommend an annual once-over including roof sealant inspection, slide topper check, brake/bearing service on towables, generator service on motorhomes, and a full appliance test.

Yes. Each store has a walk-in parts counter for parts and accessories, and the team can special-order what isn't in stock.

If you buy a new RV from any Great American RV location (except Huntsville, AL, which is not a Priority RV Network member), you're automatically a Priority RV Network member. That means service-anywhere coverage at any Priority dealer nationwide — you go to the front of the service line wherever you travel.

Most RVs have one main GFCI outlet in the bathroom. When the bathroom outlets, kitchen outlet, or outside receptacle go dead at once, pressing the GFCI reset on that single bathroom outlet usually restores everything. If the reset won't hold, you likely have a moisture issue at one of the downstream outlets.

Three things, in order: (1) battery voltage (slides need 12V+ to retract; low batteries are the most common culprit), (2) leveling jacks (most slides are interlocked with the jacks — if you tried to retract before raising the jacks fully, the system inhibits the slide), (3) the slide override switch on the controller. If those don't fix it, give us a call.

Drain everything. Mix 1/4 cup household bleach per 15 gallons of tank capacity, top off the tank with fresh water, run the bleach mixture through every fixture until you smell it, then let it sit 4 hours. Drain, refill with fresh water, run that through every line twice. Done.

Toilet paper and waste residue stick to the sensor probes inside the tank. The fix is to fill the tank halfway with water + a sensor cleaner (Happy Camper, Unique, or similar), drive around for a few miles to slosh it, then dump. 90% of false-full readings clear with one cleaning cycle.
