The Factory Direct Alternative to Berryland Campers | Save Thousands
If you live in the Gulf South, you know Berryland Campers. With massive locations in Ponchatoula and Holden, Louisiana, they are a staple for New Orleans and Baton Rouge area RVers. They offer a huge selection, but there is one cost they simply can't avoid: Logistics.
Because almost every travel trailer and fifth wheel is built right here in Northern Indiana, a dealer in Louisiana has to pay a premium to get that inventory to their lot. Those thousands of dollars in freight fees are hidden directly in your sticker price. At Wana RV, we cut the journey out of the equation.

Why Louisiana Buyers Look North to Wana RV
1. Eliminate the $2,000+ "Distance Tax"
Shipping an RV from the manufacturing plants in Indiana to Louisiana is a nearly 800-mile trip. At current transport rates, that adds roughly $1,700 to $3,000 in freight charges alone. When you buy from Berryland, you are paying for that fuel and driver. When you buy from Wana RV, that cost is zero. We are so close to the factories that we have no freight fees to pass on to you.
2. Better Selection of the Brands You Love
Berryland carries a wide net, but we go deep. If you are specifically looking for Forest River Rockwood, Palomino Puma, or Keystone models, we have a direct line to the factory. Because we are local, we often get the newest floorplans and "just-off-the-line" units before they ever begin their journey south.
3. The "Vacation Pickup" Strategy
Many of our Louisiana and Mississippi customers realize that they can save enough money on the purchase price to fund their entire first year of camping. They drive up to Shipshewana, pick up their new rig, and enjoy a "maiden voyage" through the Midwest or the Ozarks on their way back home. You get the same RV, a free vacation, and you still come home with thousands of dollars in savings.
4. No High-Volume "Sales Games"
At massive regional dealerships, the goal is often high-volume turnover. At Wana RV, we are a family-owned operation. We don’t have a massive corporate marketing budget or hundreds of employees to support, which means we can keep our margins low and our service personal. We provide a low-pressure environment where the price we quote is the price you pay.
Get Your "Second Opinion" Quote
Before you sign the papers in Ponchatoula or Holden, give us a chance to show you the "Source-Direct" price. We regularly save Southern buyers enough to make the trip to Indiana the best financial decision they’ve ever made for their hobby.
