RV Dealer Near Galveston, TX | Motor Home Specialist
Looking for a Galveston RV dealer with real Class A and diesel coach selection? Most buyers make the run up I-45 to Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado. We're the #1 volume-selling motor home dealer in the world, and the lot sits about 295 miles north of the island. Gulf Coast families have been making the trip up for the inventory and pricing they can't find in southeast Texas.
We don't price at MSRP. Every new and used RV starts at a real discount, posted up front on the unit and online. No prep fees, no freight fees stacked on at closing. Sales staff is salaried, not commissioned, so nobody pushes you toward a bigger payment than the one you came in for.
The route from Galveston is one of the simplest drives in Texas. Cross the Galveston Causeway and run I-45 north straight through Houston, up to Corsicana. From there, I-20 west around south Dallas and I-35W south brings you into Alvarado. About four and a half hours.
Most Galveston buyers make 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 trip home 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.
Galveston buyers can shop the full lineup of RVs for sale online and pick out a few favorites before the drive. 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 Galveston RV dealer customers handle financing and the trade appraisal online before they ever leave the island, which makes the trip up faster on the back end.
Once you've got the rig home, Galveston is one of the better RV bases on the Gulf. Galveston Island State Park sits right on the beach with full hookups. Brazos Bend State Park is an easy run northwest for inland camping with alligators and dark skies. Sea Rim State Park east near Port Arthur gives you another Gulf option. Closer to home, the Strand, Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier, and Bishop's Palace handle weekends without leaving the island.
Motor Home Specialist also serves the broader Gulf Coast region, including Houston. For the full statewide picture, see our Texas RV dealer page.

Galveston RV Dealer FAQs
How far is Motor Home Specialist from Galveston?
About 295 miles, four and a half hours. Run I-45 north over the causeway and through Houston to Corsicana, then I-20 west around south Dallas and I-35W south to Alvarado.
Is the drive worth it for an RV?
On bigger coaches and diesel pushers, the savings from our discount pricing usually run thousands more than the cost of the trip. The selection is also far deeper than anything closer to home, which is why Gulf Coast buyers keep making the run.
Where can I camp with my RV on Galveston Island?
Galveston Island State Park is the main beachfront option, with full hookups and direct beach access. The island also has several private RV parks along Seawall Boulevard and on the bay side, including Jamaica Beach RV Resort and Bayou Shores. Most accept big rigs and offer monthly rates for snowbirds.
Can I stay overnight at the dealership?
Yes, after you've bought. Our onsite campground has covered pads and full hookups for buyers picking up a new RV. With Galveston four and a half hours away, most families spend the first night in their new rig and start the drive home rested.
Does MHSRV stock both new and used RVs?
Yes. New and used RVs are mixed together on the Alvarado lot. Online inventory refreshes daily, so you can see what's actually there before driving up.

No MSRP, no prep fees, no freight fees. Every RV gets a real discount up front, posted on the unit and online.
