Many RV dealers are feeling the crunch of the economy. Sales are down for new RV’s and people are searching high and low for deals on used models. In all honesty, a used RV dealer is not your best source for an RV. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dealers Buy Low: Most dealers buy from auctions or other sources. The RV’s are then resold at a high markup.
2. Dealers Sell High: Don’t let the big signs proclaiming a sale fool you. Dealers are in business to make money. A 30-40% mark up is common.

Did you know that an ATV can be used for hunting, fishing, recreational riding, camping, plowing snow, gardening, farming … the list goes on and on. All you need to have is the right ATV accessories and your ATV can become anything you want!

For work, or for play, the right ATV accessories can make your next adventure or task much more enjoyable. There are many types of accessories available, but most share a similar purpose – to haul gear or riders comfortably, conveniently and safely. Gear grips, such as Rhino Grips, help to securely transport fishing poles, firearms, shovels while drop racks and cargo boxes fit larger gear that you may need haul such as 5 gallon buckets, tools or feed bags. ATV Rear Loungers are a great addition when riding with a passenger or needing to store helmets and riding gear. For those times when you want to venture far off the beaten path there are even ATV fuel packs that allow you to bring additional fuel on your ride. There are even heated seat covers and gear mitts to help keep you warm when riding or working during the winter months.
