The Truth About Hidden RV Fees – What Other Dealers Won’t Tell You

Don’t Get Surprised at Sign Out – Know What You’re Really Paying 

Buying an RV should be an exciting and enjoyable experience, but too many dealerships turn it into a stressful and costly one.

Many RV dealers advertise what seems like an amazing price, only to hit you with hidden fees when you’re ready to sign the paperwork. These unexpected charges can add thousands to your final cost.

At Butler RV Center, we believe in honesty, transparency, and upfront pricing – no gimmicks, no surprises, just the true price you deserve.

Common Hidden Fees at Other Dealerships

While shopping, you may encounter dealers that lure you in with a low price but then add on unnecessary charges at signing. Here’s what to watch out for:

• Destination Fees – Dealers charge you for shipping, even though they already factor this into their costs.
• Freight Charges – Some dealers add extra freight fees even though delivery from the manufacturer is already covered.
• Prep & Ready Fees – Getting your RV cleaned, inspected, and ready to use should be standard, not an extra charge. Your new RV should have be inspected by a certified technician to make sure everything is ready for camping.
• Walkthrough & Orientation Fees – You shouldn’t have to pay to learn how to use your new RV!
• Finance-Only Pricing Tricks – Some dealers advertise low prices but charge more if you pay cash or find your own financing. 
• Title & Documentation Fees – Some dealers pad these fees with extra charges that don’t benefit you.

That's it! No surprises, no pressure, just the real deal.

Protect Yourself from Hidden Fees – What Every Buyer Should Do

Before signing any deal at another RV dealership, always ask for an out-the-door buyer’s order. This document should include:

✔ Sale Price – The actual price of the RV.
✔ All Added Fees – Freight, prep, orientation, and documentation fees (watch for unnecessary charges!).
✔ Sales Tax & Registration Fees – These should match what your local government requires.

If a dealer refuses to provide this information upfront, it’s a red flag that they’re hiding something.
