Dans Vans
Custom van conversions in Belgrade, MT with a 4.9 rating from 11 reviews.
Belgrade sits just north of Bozeman, on the way to some of Montana's best truck camper country. Two dealerships here sell truck campers, and one more is a short drive away. The average rating across the two is 4.7, so you're not picking from the bottom of the barrel. I've bought two RVs and walked away from a third, so I know how much a good dealer matters when you're spending your weekends in the backcountry.

Belgrade RV dealer selling new and used motorhomes and trailers, with financing, parts, service and consignment on site.
Within a short drive of Belgrade. A lot of buyers cross a county line or two for the right unit, or a better price.
Bozeman RV dealer selling new and used motorhomes, travel trailers and fifth wheels, with service, parts and consignment.
Dans Vans earns a 4.9 from 11 reviews and carries camper vans and truck campers. It's a smaller operation, so you may get more attention. RV Center Montana has a 4.4 from 70 reviews and offers new and used motorhomes, travel trailers, truck campers, consignment, and buys. They also have financing, service, and parts on site. That range means you can compare a few types in one stop, but expect a busier floor. Both are worth a call before you drive over.
Truck campers are simple, but they take a beating. Look at the tie-downs and turnbuckles for rust or bending. Check the roof and seams for water stains, especially around vents and the cabover. Run the jacks up and down. Open every cabinet and sniff for mildew. If the camper has a wet bath, test the water pump and look for soft spots in the floor. Ask for a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows truck campers, not just RVs. And before you talk price, get pre-approved by your own bank or credit union so you know your number. Then see if the dealer can beat it.
Both dealerships list used inventory, and RV Center Montana also takes consignments and buys rigs outright. That means you might find a private-seller camper on their lot with a dealer's paperwork behind it. Consignment units can be priced firm because the owner set the number, so don't assume there's much room. Ask how long it's been sitting and who did the maintenance. If you're buying used, the walk-through at delivery is your last chance to catch problems. Video everything and make sure every system works before you hand over the check.
Two dealerships in Belgrade sell truck campers. One more is nearby, so you have three options within a short drive. That's enough to compare floorplans and condition before you commit.
The average rating across the two Belgrade dealerships is 4.7 out of 5. Dans Vans leads with a 4.9 from 11 reviews, while RV Center Montana holds a 4.4 from 70 reviews.
One of the two dealerships offers financing on site. RV Center Montana lists financing among its services. Even so, it pays to get pre-approved by your own bank first so you can compare rates.
Ask either dealership for a recommendation, or call an independent RV service shop in the Bozeman area. A pre-purchase inspection by someone who knows truck campers is worth the cost, especially on a used unit with unknown history.
