Dave Arbogast RV Alternative | Why Buying at the Source Saves You More

The Wana RV vs. Dave Arbogast RV Comparison

Why Wana RV is the Strategic Choice Over the "Big Depot"

1. Eliminate the 150-Mile "Shipping Surcharge"

It doesn’t matter how big a dealership is; if they aren't in Shipshewana or Elkhart, they pay for freight. Even the relatively short trip to Troy, Ohio, adds $500 to $1,500 in transport fees depending on the unit size. At Wana RV, that cost is non-existent. We don't hide freight in our MSRP because we don't pay it.

2. Avoid the "Mega-Dealer" Overhead

Massive showrooms, sprawling lots, and huge advertising budgets aren't free—they are funded by the margin on every RV sold. Wana RV operates out of a single, efficient location at the source. Our low overhead allows us to maintain the thinnest margins in the industry, passing the savings directly to you.

3. Specialized Brand Focus: Rockwood & Puma

While big depots try to be everything to everyone, we specialize. We have an intimate, "neighborly" relationship with the Forest River Rockwood and Palomino Puma factories. We often see new floorplans and engineering updates before the out-of-state dealers even know they exist.

4. A Personalized, No-Pressure Experience

At a massive dealership, you are often dealing with a revolving door of sales staff hitting high-volume quotas. At Wana RV, you deal with a family-owned team that cares about your long-term satisfaction. We don't play games with "limited-time" offers or hidden prep fees in the finance office.
