Welcome to Smart RV World

At Smart RV World our goal is to enhance your RVing experience, help you save money RVing, and even profit from your RV.

Many RVers choose the lifestyle believing that it will be less expensive than hotels, flights, car rentals and restaurants.  However, this isn’t always the case or easy to accomplish; leaving the RVer disenchanted with their RV and the RVing experience.

At Smart RV World, we walk you through all stages of RV ownership from buying and selling, to making money with your RV, to saving money on the road, and do it yourself tips.  Being a smart RVer also means being smart with your money.

The Folks Behind Smart RV World

The creators of Smart RV World (Don and Sarah) are retired RV Dealers with large RV Rental departments at each of our dealerships. With over 40 years in the business, we draw from the experiences of hundreds of renters and customers each year and pass this knowledge on to our readers.

Would it be an exaggeration to say that we have seen everything? Probably not. Renters represent a great cross-section of the RVing world. The level of experience of the renter also spans the spectrum of RVers. We know the questions that RVers want answered and we know what can go wrong and how to make sure that everything goes right!

Life on the road is fun and exciting for a 3 day weekend or a two-week cross-country trip. Experience is the greatest teacher and because of ours, we want you to learn from and be enlightened by our stories and advice. Let’s have some fun together on this journey.

Making Money with Your RV

An RV is the original “tiny house” or “rolling Real Estate” as Don likes to call it. If you think of your RV in these terms, a whole new world of potential income opens up. Whether its buying well so that you sell well, or having your RV earn you money with a rental, as an Air BnB or turning it into a mobile office. Let your house on wheels pay for itself.  Ready to sell your RV?  We offer free RV listings reaching a nationwide audience of RVers just like you!

Safety Equals Savings

Benjamin Franklin said, “an ounce of save money rvingprevention is worth a pound of cure”. How true this is for the RVer. Preventing problems on the road, at home, and at the campsite means thinking ahead and pre-planning to avoid potential problems. Even though we taught hundreds of people each year how to safely operate an RV, it was up to us to keep the RV safe for travel.

Planning Keeps Money in Your Pocket

Planning is the first rule to saving money while RVing. If you are new to the lifestyle and just thinking about buying an RV then you are ahead of the curve for saving money.  From choosing a destination and campground to packing the right supplies – being prepared will go a long way to reducing your stress costs once you hit the open road. Does that mean that we recommend planning every second of every day? NO – but it does mean that you need to prepare based on your personality and travel style. We can help with this.
