Congratulations! You've found a dealership that is different. We are and have been family owned & operated since 1986 when Rick & Judy Johnson opened out of a single wide mobile home on US 167 W in Ville Platte. Their two sons Gabe & Tyler now operate the dealership while the third generation learns by working during school breaks.

I'd give 6 stars if I could. This place was worth the drive for us. They are very transparent with any issues/concerns. We were able to drop our camper off for repairs on a Saturday and by Monday they had already started working on it! I called multiple places in Lake Charles and never got a response in that time period (much less even all call back ever). They did an amazing job on the repair and we had our camper back I less than a month! I was hoping to at least have it back by November and they surpassed my expectations! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for a better place. We will be back when we are ready for a new camper or ever need repairs!
If you are in the market for a new RV I highly recommend them . They go over and beyond to insure your total satisfaction . You will not find more professional service than what Gabe and Tyler will provide nor will you experience better warranty service anywhere .
Rick's is the place to get your RV. They go above and beyond to make sure you and your new RV are good to go. We drove over 6 hours to get our RV from them (only place that had the model we wanted) and I would do it again. 100 out of 10 would recommend Rick's RV to anyone looking for a RV.
I would highly recommend Rick's RV Sales if you are looking to buy an RV. They are a family owned business and take pride in what they do! We were looking to buy a particular style travel trailer and after much shopping and being given the run-around we found Rick's RV. Tyler was quick to respond and his prices beat everything we could find. He guided us through all of our questions being very patient with us. They offered financing and even beat what we could find. Being over 5 hours away was not a problem for them. They understood and when we got there, we were just blown away. They had the trailer prepped and ready for us to view, gave us time to look and discuss. We were fairly sure we were going to buy so we also brought our new trailer hitch, which they installed and gave us instruction on proper use. No questions asked, no run around, just good business. After we said 'Yes', Tyler then spent over an hour giving us a thorough run through of how everything worked. Once all the paperwork was done, we were ready to go, he then gave us a run through of the new trailer brake and camera we had installed. He made sure we were comfortable and knew what to do, keeping our safety in mind. We have never been so thoughtfully taken care of by a business. When we are ready to upgrade we are definitely going to be coming back to see them!!
Ricks went above and beyond today. We had a leaf spring break on our fifth wheel. We called several different RV repair shops and no one wanted help us. After calling Rick's, he assured us that they could help us.They found the parts and had us back on the road in a few hours. This is how customer service should be done. The cost for the repair was very reasonable. We highly recommend them for any of your RV needs.

Buying an RV is a big decision. Use this guide to shop Ricks RV Sales'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 Ricks RV Sales 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 Ricks RV Sales 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 Ricks RV Sales 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 Ricks RV Sales in Ville Platte, Louisiana.
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.
