Buying an RV is a big decision. Use this guide to shop Colaw RV's inventory with confidence.
Set your budget first
RV prices range from under $10,000 for used travel trailers to $300,000+ for Class A diesel pushers. Know your number before you browse. Use SearchShop's payment estimator on any Colaw RV listing to model monthly costs.
Pick the right RV type
Travel trailers and fifth wheels need a capable tow vehicle. Class B and C motorhomes offer an easier entry point. Class A motorhomes give the most space. Ask the team at Colaw RV which type fits your camping style.
Inspect these on every unit
Check the roof for cracks or soft spots (signs of water damage). Open every slideout and look for seal wear. Run all appliances. Test the generator, AC, and water heater. Check the underbelly for rust or damage.
Know the weight ratings
Every RV has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading causes tire blowouts and frame damage. Compare the GVWR against your intended load before committing.
Review service records
Ask Colaw RV for any available service history. Regular maintenance records — oil changes, roof resealing, slide service — signal a well-cared-for unit.
RV loans are specialized. Knowing the basics helps you get the best deal when financing through Colaw RV in Carthage, Missouri.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years is typical for larger RVs. Shorter-term loans save on total interest.
Down Payment
10% to 20% is typical. A larger down payment reduces monthly costs and total interest paid.

My wife and I have been to just about every RV dealership in and around Joplin, and let me tell you, most of them are either nowhere to be found when you need help, or they pounce on you like you owe them rent money. And the second you tell them you’re paying cash? Suddenly you have to talk to a manager. Then the games begin, “Oh, that price is only if you finance,” even though their website says absolutely nothing about that. That’s when I usually turn right around and walk out. But Colaw RV? Whole different experience. My wife and I walked in and met Lance Norwood, and from the moment we shook his hand, the tone changed. We told him we just wanted to look around, no pressure, no hassle. Lance smiled and said, “No worries at all, just tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll point you in the right direction.” We gave him our needs and our budget, and he said, “Hop on the cart, I know exactly where to take you.” And he wasn’t kidding, he nailed it on the first RV he showed us. It was better than what we expected. We still looked at a few more just to be sure, but that first one was the home run. Lance is everything a sales associate should be, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and actually listening instead of pushing. No games. No pressure. No nonsense. Just genuine customer service, something most dealerships around here seem to have forgotten exists. While the others will hand you a popcorn, a bottle of water, and then spend an hour trying to squeeze every bit of personal information out of you before you even step inside an RV, Lance does things the right way. Look first. Decide second. Talk numbers last. Imagine that. If you’re in the RV market, whether it’s your first camper or you’re looking to upgrade, go see Lance Norwood at Colaw RV. You won’t be disappointed. When we upgrade to a larger unit in a few years (assuming the Mrs. gives her approval), we’re going straight back to him. Thanks, Lance. You were outstanding.
We had a phenomenal sales experience here. Lance Norwood was ready to help us when he knew we were arriving. He took us to the one we wanted to see right away, then offered others in a comparable budget. He knew what budget we wanted to stay in for our recreational needs and he didn't push to upsell us. He also made the sale process smooth and quick. The technician did a thorough walkthrough before we hooked up. They even gave us a gift card to utilize in their store. Everyone was helpful and friendly. We drove an hour to shop here and we weren't disappointed at all. Way more impressed with them than any places closer to us! Thank you Colaw! We'll be back when it's time for our upgrade!
Colaw Rv is amazing! By far the best price in the four states area that I found. Lance and Hailey were extremely professional, friendly and helpful! We will come back for all our rv/camper needs!
We like to shop Colaw. They don’t pressure you at all. Yesterday we went to look trying to figure out what kind of 5th wheel we wanted. Lance Norwood came out and asked us what we were looking for. I said not sure just trying to figure that out. He said go check them all out gave us his card and said to call him if we had any questions and he would be back to check on us. We found the perfect camper and Lance was very willing to answer all questions. He was a great no pressure sales guy. This is our 3rd camper that we have bought from Colaw.
Just bought a trailer from them (1991 Dutchman 30ft 5th wheel). They were honest, and it was a very smooth transaction. The guy they suggested I used to haul my 5th wheel was also fantastic. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
