Ohio RV & Camper Shoppers: Fly or Drive to MHSRV
Ohio is a long way from a Motor Home Specialist lot, so most buyers here treat the purchase as a planned trip, not a Saturday errand. The flagship, with the widest selection, is in Alvarado, Texas. A second store sits in Montgomery, Alabama, the closer drive for southern Ohio. We are the #1 volume-selling motor home dealer in the world, and the pricing is what pulls Ohioans this far.
Sticker shock runs the other way here. Each RV lists a real, discounted price online, set well under MSRP, and there are no prep or freight fees bolted on at signing. The floor staff works off salary, not commission, and the company has stayed family-run.
Distance shapes the trip. Most Ohio buyers fly into DFW and let the team collect them for the short run to Alvarado, which beats a two-day drive each way. Southern Ohio, closer to Cincinnati, sometimes drives to Montgomery instead. Whichever way you come, the Texas store keeps a free onsite RV park for a night's rest before the drive home.
Do the choosing before you book a flight. Each listing carries real photos of that exact unit, often video and a virtual walk-through, and the price in plain sight, so the RV is settled before you leave Ohio.
Both stores stock the range. Towable campers, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers, share the lot with the driveables, Class A, diesel pushers, Class C and B+, and Super C. Shop new or used from the major brands, and the used rows shift as trades roll in.
Sort the money from Ohio ahead of time. Send a trade-in for a number and file a financing request online, and the paperwork is largely finished by the time you arrive.
Ohio gives a new rig plenty to do. Hocking Hills draws the biggest crowds with its gorges and waterfalls, the Lake Erie shore around Geneva opens up the north, Salt Fork spreads across the state's largest park, and Mohican runs along its namesake river. More sit on our Ohio RV parks page, and reviews from Ohio owners are worth a read.

Ohio RV Buyer FAQs
Is Motor Home Specialist an Ohio RV dealer?
It is not. MHSRV operates out of Texas, plus a store in Montgomery, Alabama, so Ohio buyers are shopping an out-of-state dealer, not a lot down the road.
Where can I find RVs and campers for sale near Ohio?
The deepest inventory is at the Alvarado, Texas flagship, which posts every unit online. Southern Ohio buyers who prefer a shorter drive can also shop the Montgomery, Alabama store.
Is it better to drive or fly from Ohio?
For most of the state, flying into DFW and getting picked up is easier than a two-day drive. Southern Ohio sometimes drives to Montgomery, since it is the nearer of the two stores.
What types of motorhomes does Motor Home Specialist sell?
You will see the full spread: Class A, diesel pushers, Class C and B+, and Super C, plus towable campers such as travel trailers and fifth wheels.
Does MHSRV carry used RVs and campers?
It does. Used coaches and trailers sit right in with the new inventory, each priced below MSRP, and the selection turns as trades come and go.
Why travel from Ohio instead of buying local?
Two reasons, mostly: the selection runs larger than a single local lot, and the up-front, below-MSRP pricing tends to cover the cost of getting there.
Do I have to take delivery in person?
Yes. There is no shipping or drop-off. You come to the store, look the RV over, go through the orientation, and drive it home yourself.
Where can I camp with an RV in Ohio?
Hocking Hills, the Lake Erie shore around Geneva, Salt Fork, and Mohican are all popular stops for Ohio RVers.
