Motor Home Specialist
Huge RV selection in Alvarado with strong reviews for helpful staff.
Alvarado sits right on I-35W south of Fort Worth, which makes it an easy stop for anyone shopping camper vans in the metroplex. Two dealerships here carry them, and both average 4.5 stars across a combined pile of reviews. That is a small field, so the drive between them is short and you can see both in an afternoon.
Huge RV selection in Alvarado with strong reviews for helpful staff.
Alvarado RV dealer selling new and used RVs, with financing, service, parts and trade-ins.
Motor Home Specialist is the bigger name on this stretch, with 4.6 stars across 3,754 reviews and a stock list that runs from camper vans to Class A motorhomes, toy haulers and pop-ups. Camping World - Alvarado sits at 4.4 stars over 1,982 reviews and adds consignment and a we-buy-your-RV option to the mix. Both offer financing. Both have service and parts departments, which matters more than most shoppers think when you are buying a van you plan to camp in. Ask how long a service appointment takes before you sign anything.
The counts show plenty of overlap: two dealers each with used, motorhome, travel trailer, camper van, toy hauler, pop-up and Class A inventory. Teardrop and Airstream each show up at one dealer, and consignment and buy-your-RV at one. That means your camper van shortlist will probably be similar at both stores, so compare condition and miles rather than just the badge on the lot. If you want a pop-up or a Class A alongside the van, either place can show you one. Truck campers and park models are not represented here at all.
Camper vans live hard lives. Get an independent pre-purchase inspection before you commit, even on a low-mile unit, and pay attention to the roof, the water system and any aftermarket electrical work. Get financing pre-approved at your own bank first so the dealer has to beat a real number. Do the full walk-through at delivery with the water and power hooked up, and test every switch and appliance. Late fall and winter tend to be slower at dealerships, which can help your negotiating position. And check the service department's backlog before you buy.
There are 2 camper van dealers in Alvarado. Both are located along the I-35W corridor, so you can visit them in a single trip without much driving between stops.
The two Alvarado dealers average 4.5 stars. Motor Home Specialist holds a 4.6 across 3,754 reviews, and Camping World - Alvarado sits at 4.4 across 1,982 reviews, so both have plenty of feedback to read.
Yes, both offer financing. It still pays to get pre-approved at your own bank or credit union before you shop, so you know your rate and can compare it against what the dealership quotes you.
Camping World - Alvarado lists consignment and buys among its services, so selling or consigning is an option there. Motor Home Specialist does not list those services, so call ahead if that is part of your plan.
