Most of the action clusters around the bigger stores. Long View RV Superstores has the largest footprint by far with over a thousand reviews and a mix that runs from travel trailers to toy haulers and consignment units. Hemlock Hill RV Sales & Services is another volume player, leaning toward new travel trailers and pop-ups with financing and trade options on site. Dave's RV Center in the smaller corner punches above its weight with a 4.8 rating across 131 reviews, and it handles both motorhomes and travel trailers. If you are hunting a specific floor plan, call ahead. Eleven dealers sounds like a lot until you realize not every one stocks the same brands.
Six of the eleven dealers offer financing, but get pre-approved with your own bank or credit union first. It gives you a number to compare against and keeps the conversation on the trailer, not the payment. Ask about the service department's backlog, especially at the larger stores. A busy shop can mean a long wait for warranty work in spring. On any used unit, hire an independent inspector. I walked away from a fifth wheel that looked clean until the inspector found soft spots in the rear wall. The walk-through at delivery matters too. Test every appliance and fill the tanks before you tow it home.
Nine of the eleven dealers list used inventory, and that is where the value sits if you are flexible on layout. Used travel trailers often come with the first owner's upgrades already installed, and you skip the initial depreciation hit. New makes sense if you want a specific bunkhouse or a warranty that starts on day one. Pop-ups show up at four dealers, so if you want canvas and a low tow weight, you have options. Toy haulers are scarcer at two dealers. Shop in late fall or winter if you can. The selection narrows but the sales pressure drops, and you get more attention from the service writer.
There are 11 dealerships in the state that carry travel trailers or fifth wheels. Nine of them also list used inventory, and six offer financing.
Dave's RV Center has the highest rating at 4.8 from 131 reviews. Long View RV Superstores has the most reviews by a wide margin, over 1,100, with a 4.5 rating.
That depends on the trailer's weight and your vehicle. Check with the DMV before you buy. The dealer can tell you the dry weight and hitch weight, but confirming the rules is your job.
Used gives you more trailer for the money and nine of the eleven dealers stock it. New gets you a full warranty and the exact floor plan you want. Either way, get an inspection before you sign.
