Shopping Tips for Coleman Lantern LT

Before you decide to put down serious money on any travel trailer, take some time to think about your purchase. How often do you plan to use your new RV? How many people will come along on each trip? Are there features you can't live without?

With your notes in hand, keep the following tips in mind:

Research before buying. Understand what each model offers and needs, especially when it comes to towing. You don't want to buy a camper you can't even move. Our towing guide can help with that.
Read reviews (both good and bad). These provide real insights into how the product performs in the outdoors.
Consider a used model. Many locations offer recently refurbished models that offer all the great benefits of a new RV at a fraction of the price.
Consider the total cost of ownership. You aren't just buying an RV. You're also paying for maintenance and upkeep.
Think about financing. Financing gives you the flexibility to make payments on your new RV over time.
