Redmond, Oregon: Finding the right recreational vehicle shouldn't feel like choosing between what you want and what you can afford. Yet many buyers across Central Oregon face that exact dilemma when shopping for their next adventure-ready rig.
Big Country RV addresses this challenge through strategic inventory management across two locations in Bend and Redmond. The family-owned operation maintains relationships with manufacturers like Forest River, Keystone RV, and Thor Motor Coach to stock diverse options that match different budgets and travel styles.
Oregon's RV Market Strength
Oregon ranks second nationally for RV spending per capita and holds a top-five position for ownership rates Emergency Assistance Plus ConsumerAffairs. This market strength reflects the state's outdoor recreation culture and 300-plus annual days of sunshine in Central Oregon.
The region's proximity to Mt. Bachelor, the Deschutes River, and Cascade Lakes creates year-round opportunities for families seeking weekend getaways or extended adventures. When buyers search for RVs for sale in Oregon, they're often planning trips to these local destinations before considering cross-country travel.
Model Selection Meets Regional Needs
Travel trailers remain popular among Central Oregon buyers who value towing flexibility and campsite maneuverability. Fifth wheels attract couples seeking spacious living areas for extended stays. Class A and Class C motorhomes appeal to families prioritizing self-contained mobility.
Big Country RV maintains inventory across these categories, with particular attention to models suited for mountain terrain and variable weather conditions. Specifications matter when navigating Highway 97 or accessing remote camping areas throughout the Deschutes National Forest.

The Pre-Owned Advantage
Used RV values show stability with predictable seasonal patterns. March 2025 RV Sales Report: Final 2024 Numbers & Market Trends. Smart buyers recognize opportunities when shopping among Oregon used RV dealers who maintain quality pre-owned inventory.
Depreciation hits hardest during a vehicle's initial years. Pre-owned models often include previous owner upgrades like solar panels, upgraded suspension systems, or entertainment packages—additions that would cost thousands when purchased new.
Big Country RV inspects each pre-owned unit before listing. This process identifies maintenance needs and verifies that systems function properly, from water heaters to slideout mechanisms.
Service Infrastructure Matters
Ownership extends beyond the initial purchase. Access to parts, service technicians familiar with multiple manufacturers, and warranty support affect long-term satisfaction.
The dealership's Bend location at 63500 N Highway 97 serves customers throughout Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties. This positioning provides convenient access whether buyers need routine maintenance or unexpected repairs during travel season.
Financing Considerations
Interest rates influence purchasing decisions. RV Sales and Shipments: 2024 Report and What to Expect in 2025, particularly for buyers balancing monthly payments against other household expenses. Big Country RV works with lending institutions familiar with recreational vehicle financing structures.
Down payment amounts, credit profiles, and loan terms vary significantly between new and used purchases. The dealership's finance team explains these differences clearly, helping buyers understand total ownership costs rather than focusing solely on sticker prices.
Making Informed Decisions
Smart buyers research manufacturer reputations, compare floor plans across similar models, and test multiple units before committing. Big Country RV encourages this thorough approach rather than rushing decisions.
Staff members share insights about model-specific considerations—which floor plans maximize storage, how different chassis handle mountain passes, or which manufacturers offer better warranty coverage. This information helps buyers avoid expensive mistakes.
Regional buyers face unique decisions. Will the RV primarily access developed campgrounds with full hookups, or venture into dispersed camping areas requiring self-sufficiency? Does the tow vehicle have adequate capacity, or will buyers need to upgrade their truck simultaneously?
These questions require honest answers before signing paperwork. The dealership's experience across Central Oregon's diverse camping environments informs practical recommendations tailored to individual usage patterns.
