Welcome back to RV Hour, the official RV lifestyle podcast hosted by Larry McNamara, CEO of Giant Recreation World. In Episode 151, we’re diving into two topics every RV owner and future buyer needs to understand — how the Priority RV Network works and what smart RV buyers should know before trading in or upgrading in 2026.
Whether you’re shopping for your first RV, looking to upgrade your travel trailer, or thinking about trading in your current camper, this episode is packed with insider information from the RV industry.
Larry is joined by Nicole Schantz to talk about the Priority RV Network, one of the most valuable benefits available to RV owners. If you’ve ever worried about getting service while traveling across the country, this network may completely change how you think about RV ownership.
What You’ll Learn in Episode 151
Priority RV Network – What It Is and Why It Matters
Nicole Schantz explains how the Priority RV Network helps RV owners receive service while traveling across the United States.
Instead of waiting weeks for service while you’re on the road, participating dealers across the country work together to help traveling RVers get back on the road faster.
If you plan to travel extensively, this is one of the most valuable benefits you can have as an RV owner.
2026 RV Trade-In & Buying Tips You Need to Hear
If you’re planning to upgrade your RV in 2026, here are three important tips discussed on this episode:
1. Know Your Trade Value Before You
Shop
Many RV owners underestimate how much their current RV may be
worth. Trade-in values can help significantly reduce the cost of
upgrading to a newer model.
2. Look Beyond Just the
Price
A lower price doesn’t always mean the best value. Warranty
coverage, dealership support, and long-term service availability
are just as important as the purchase price.
3. Shop With a Dealer That Supports You After the
Sale
Buying an RV is just the beginning of the journey. Service support,
parts availability, and nationwide dealer networks can make a huge
difference in your ownership experience.
