Rob and Romeo (Rob's dog) departed the Howard RV Center in Wilmington, NC on their maiden journey after an amazing purchase experience and orientation on their 2025 Leisure Wonder RTB. After an overnight at the dealership to play with the RV, Rob & Romeo began their maiden journey home but not without taking this time to show our appreciation to this World-class organization by writing this review. Howard RV Center is indeed a First-class company in all aspects. The entire staff are friendly, down to earth, professional, courteous, and caring. Triple E, the manufacturer of these Leisure Travel Vans are undoubtedly the best in the business creating the highest quality motorhomes in the entire industry. A big thanks to Rob's salesman Dan Hilton and the rest of the wonderful staff and owner: Theresa & Tom who pet sit Romeo on and off; Matt for the orientation; and owner Mr. Howard.
These guys doing an amazing job getting your rig taken care of. Even Bill, the gentleman who is a filling in this week while some are on vacation has done an amazing job getting my service handled! So even when they're on vacation they are still running like a well oil machine! They are a family-owned company and certainly treat you as if you are family. I drive over an hour and a half when I have other dealerships to choose from because of the service that I received from Howard's team. Keep up the good work guys and thanks again for letting me put my rig in such a good hands!
Theresa did a great job with our camper sale and the whole team were very accommodating and easy to work with. We had a few up fits that were added on and Wyndy and the service team were spot on with scheduling and getting the camper ready for us. The general manager Bill did a great job as well for our closing and was there for any questions that were needed answered . My wife and I would highly recommend Howard RV Center for buying your next RV/Camper and any repairs that you might need done on your used camper.
The team at Howard RV Center is amazing. My wife and I just purchased a Pleasure Way RV from them and it was the best experience we have had purchasing a camper. They went out of their way to make the process easy and addressed all of our questions and concerns along the way. The level of communication and customer service across the entire team is second to none. When we are in need of our next RV we know exactly where we are going back to. Thank you John, Steve, Bill, and Tyler for making the process easy and the pickup day special! Highly recommended!
Wendy and O.J. in the service dept extremely helpful and responsive to my needs. Pricing very fair and service turnaround very quick. Have used them before and will do so in the future. Highly recommend over other service providers in the area.

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 Howard RV Center 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 Howard RV Center 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 Howard RV Center for any available service history. Regular maintenance records — oil changes, roof resealing, slide service — signal a well-cared-for unit.

Typical Loan Terms
