RV Dealer Near Corpus Christi, TX | Motor Home Specialist
Coastal Bend buyers searching for a Corpus Christi RV dealer with the biggest motorhome lineup in Texas head I-37 north to Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado, about 395 miles up. We're the #1 volume-selling motor home dealer in the world, and South Texas families have been making the drive north for the inventory and pricing they can't find by the coast.
We don't price at MSRP. Every new and used RV starts at a real discount, posted on the unit and online. No prep fees, no freight fees stacked on at closing. Sales staff is salaried, not commissioned, so the help you get is honest help.
The route from Corpus is simple. Take I-37 north 140 miles into San Antonio, switch to I-35 north through New Braunfels, San Marcos, Austin, Waco, and Hillsboro, then I-35W south brings you into Alvarado. About 5 hours and 30 minutes, with the I-37 to I-35 handoff in San Antonio as the natural break point.
At that distance, almost every Corpus Christi buyer makes it a two-day trip. Drive up Friday, walk the lot, pick out a rig. After the walk-through, you spend the night in your new RV at our onsite campground. Saturday morning, you start the run back down I-37 in something you actually slept in.
The brand lineup is one of the biggest in the country: American Coach, Entegra Coach, Newmar, Tiffin, Fleetwood, Coachmen, Dynamax, Foretravel, Forest River, Holiday Rambler, Jayco, and Winnebago, plus the full Thor Motor Coach lineup. Every major type sits on the ground too: Class A, Class B, Class C and B+, Super C, diesel pushers, fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, and bunk models.
Corpus Christi buyers can shop the full lineup of RVs for sale online and pick out a few favorites before the drive north. Inventory updates daily with photos, options, and real sale prices. New RVs and used RVs sit side by side on the lot, so you can compare them straight across. A lot of Corpus Christi RV dealer customers handle financing and the trade appraisal online before leaving the coast, which keeps the back end of the trip short.
Once you've got the rig home, Corpus Christi is parked next to some of the best Gulf Coast RV country in the state. Padre Island National Seashore stretches 70 miles down the coast with primitive beach camping and full-hookup sites at Malaquite Campground. Mustang Island State Park sits just east of Corpus with beachfront RV sites. Goose Island State Park up the coast near Rockport has shaded sites under ancient live oaks. Lake Corpus Christi State Park gives you an inland freshwater option, and Choke Canyon State Park works for longer bass-fishing weekends. Closer to town, the USS Lexington, the Texas State Aquarium, and the Selena Memorial keep weekends in town easy.
Motor Home Specialist also serves the broader South Texas region, including San Antonio. For the full statewide picture, see our Texas RV dealer page.
