The Ultimate RV Buyer’s Guide

Buying an RV is more than just a purchase - it’s an invitation to a new lifestyle, filled with freedom, spontaneity, and unforgettable adventures. Whether you dream of quiet weekends at Ontario’s lakes, cross-country trips to the Rockies, or long southern getaways, the right RV can make all the difference. At Owasco RV Centre, we’ve been helping Canadians find their perfect home on wheels for over 50 years. As a family-owned dealership proudly located in Bowmanville, Ontario, we carry a diverse selection of trusted brands, including Jayco, Pleasure-Way, Roadtrek, Winnebago, Brinkley, and Entegra Coach - each one built to deliver comfort, reliability, and the thrill of travel.

Discovering Your Perfect Match

Every RVer travels differently - and that’s exactly what makes this lifestyle so special. Some travellers crave the spontaneity of hitching up and heading out for a weekend escape, while others prefer the all-in-one convenience of a luxury motorhome. At Owasco RV Centre, our mission is to help you find an RV that feels like it was made for you. Our experienced team will take the time to understand your goals, whether you’re a young family looking for your first trailer, a retired couple setting off on extended adventures, or a solo traveler chasing scenic routes across Canada.

As you explore, you’ll find that each of our brands offers something unique. Jayco is renowned for their towable models as well as their motorized - durable, family-friendly, and versatile.

Entegra Coach and Winnebago specialize in luxury motorhomes with premium finishes and technology. Meanwhile, Roadtrek and Pleasure-Way lead the pack in compact Class B motorhomes, perfect for adventurers who prefer mobility and efficiency. With such variety, you’re not just choosing a brand - you’re choosing a lifestyle.

Towable Freedom vs. Motorized Convenience

One of the biggest questions new RV buyers face is whether to choose a towable or a motorized RV. Each offers a distinct experience, and the right choice often comes down to how you like to travel.

Towable RVs - including travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers - provide flexibility and value. They allow you to unhitch your tow vehicle once you’ve set up camp, giving you the freedom to explore nearby towns, trails, and attractions without packing everything up. They’re ideal for families or weekend campers who want both comfort and mobility. At Owasco, you’ll find beautifully designed towables from Jayco and Brinkley, known for their smart layouts, high-quality construction, and attention to detail.

Motorized RVs, on the other hand, combine your living space and driving space into one seamless unit. Class A motorhomes bring luxury and space to the open road, complete with full kitchens, entertainment systems, and residential-style comfort. Class B camper vans, like those from Roadtrek and Winnebago, are nimble and easy to drive, perfect for couples or solo explorers who crave simplicity and adventure. Class C models, often built on truck or van chassis, strike a perfect middle ground - family-friendly, powerful, and feature-packed.

Whichever direction you lean, our experts will guide you through the pros and cons, help assess your vehicle’s towing capacity if needed, and match you to the perfect model from our extensive inventory.
