Holiday World of Alvarado
Texas RV dealer with new and used units, service center, and financing, rated 4.6 from over 1,100 reviews.
Selling an RV is its own kind of shopping trip, just in reverse. Alvarado has two dealerships that buy RVs, and they are both big names on the I-35W corridor south of Fort Worth. Between them they carry financing, service and trade options, so you can walk in with a title and walk out with a check or a trade. Here is how to sort out which one fits your rig.

Holiday World of Alvarado sits at 4.6 stars across 1,157 reviews and handles new and used units, travel trailers and Class A motorhomes, plus financing, service and trade. Camping World - Alvarado runs 4.4 stars over 1,982 reviews and covers a wider spread: used, motorhome, travel trailer, camper van, toy hauler, pop-up, Airstream, Class A and consignment, with financing, service and parts. Both buy, and both will talk trade. If your rig is a camper van or a toy hauler, Camping World is the more natural first call. For a Class A or a straight trade against a new trailer, Holiday World is worth the stop. Average rating across the two is 4.5.
Know what you have. Pull the title, the loan payoff if there is one, and the maintenance records, because a dealership will ask. Clean it out and clean it up; a unit that smells like last summer's campfire gets priced accordingly. Get your own financing pre-approval from your bank or credit union before you talk numbers, even if you plan to use the dealership's financing, so you have a benchmark. Expect an offer below private-party value since the dealer carries the resale risk. If the number disappoints, consignment through Camping World is the middle path: they sell it, you keep more than a wholesale offer, and you wait.
Alvarado is a short run down I-35W from Burleson and Joshua, and an easy reach from Mansfield and Cleburne. That means your buyer pool is bigger than the town itself, which helps if you decide to sell privately instead. Off-season is the friendlier time to sell, since dealers are restocking for spring and have room to deal. Call ahead and ask who handles used purchases and what they need to see; a 20 minute conversation saves a wasted afternoon. And if you are trading rather than selling outright, do the walk-through on the new unit before you sign anything, same as you would buying used.
Two. Holiday World of Alvarado and Camping World - Alvarado both buy, and both also offer trade and financing. There are five more dealerships nearby if neither one has the right fit for your rig.
The two average 4.5 stars. Holiday World sits at 4.6 across 1,157 reviews, and Camping World at 4.4 across 1,982. Read a few recent reviews on the service side, since that is where most complaints show up.
Yes. Both dealerships list trade among their features. Trading usually nets less than a private sale but skips the listing, the showings and the tire-kickers, and it can cut the sales tax on the new unit depending on how the paperwork is written.
The title, any loan payoff information, maintenance records and both sets of keys. A clean unit helps. Call first and ask who handles used purchases so you are not waiting on the wrong person, and get your own financing pre-approval before you talk trade numbers.
