We are so fortunate to have found Petite Auto and RV! Ed is the nicest most helpful person we have come across in a long time. He really knows his stuff and is willing to take the time to help you out. After talking with him on the phone we felt like we were part of the family. Thank you so much Ed. 🙏🏻

The guys at petite were awesome. It was my first time buying an rv and they took the time to show me how to work every little switch and control in the rv. If i wasn't happy with anything, they went above and beyond to fix it. Very nice family business and i appreciated them going out of their way to make me comfortable. Highly reccomended.

We had a great experience working with Joe at Petite. Joe shared his history of how he came to be a part of this dealership that had been owned by his family. His appreciation for family was something that made me feel comfortable in our discussions about purchasing a van from him. It was difficult because I live in New York. He took the time to do the most thorough video inspection with me. That made quite an impression. Trust in this relationship was cinched at that point. He has kept in touch every step of the way, informing me of any changes in plan or details. I would highly recommend this group in this family dealership to anyone looking for a van.

You have to be patient because they are meticulous and determined to make sure everything is good and that you are very happy with their work. I highly recommend Ed and his family at Petite Auto & RV.

RV Buyer's Guide – Petite Auto & RV Center

Buying an RV is a big decision. Use this guide to shop Petite Auto & RV Center's inventory with confidence.

  1. 1

    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 Petite Auto & RV Center listing to model monthly costs.

  2. 2

    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 Petite Auto & RV Center which type fits your camping style.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Review service records

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