Bobby Combs RV Centers, a dealership with six locations across Arizona, Idaho, and Oregon, provides context on how RV consignment serves as one component in the ongoing cycle of RV ownership. As owners' travel preferences evolve, whether through changes in family size, retirement plans, or shifts between weekend getaways and longer-term travel, many consider options for transitioning out of their current vehicle. The dealership facilitates such transitions through its inventory of new and used RVs alongside services that include RV consignment, allowing owners to place their vehicles for sale within the dealership's network.
RV consignment operates as a structured arrangement where owners place their recreational vehicles with the dealership for resale. This approach integrates with the broader operations at Bobby Combs RV Centers, where the focus remains on maintaining a selection of quality RVs from manufacturers such as Jayco, Forest River, Thor, and Keystone RV. The presence of consignment supports the flow of inventory, as previously owned units join the used RV offerings available at the locations. Owners who opt for consignment benefit from the dealership's exposure to potential buyers browsing the new and used selections, while the dealership handles aspects of the listing and sales process consistent with its standard practices.
Complementing consignment, the dealership manages a range of used RVs that reflect prior ownership cycles. These units often arrive through various transition methods and undergo preparation to meet standards before being made available. Parts and service departments at each location play a role in this preparation, addressing maintenance and repairs to ensure vehicles are road-ready. This support extends across the ownership period, from initial acquisition through ongoing use and eventual resale considerations.
Trade-in options also form part of how owners navigate changes in their RV needs. When individuals seek to upgrade to a different type, such as moving from a travel trailer to a fifth wheel or from a Class C to a larger Class A, the possibility of applying value from an existing unit toward a new one arises within the dealership's framework. Such transitions occur as lifestyles adjust, with factors like desired amenities, towing capacity, or living space influencing decisions.
Bobby Combs, Owner of Bobby Combs RV Centers, observed that shifts in how families use RVs often prompt evaluation of current setups. "As travel patterns change over the years, owners naturally assess whether their vehicle still aligns with their current lifestyle, whether that involves shorter trips or extended periods away," Bobby Combs said. He added, "The condition of the RV and its suitability for the next phase of use become key considerations when owners explore resale avenues, including consignment arrangements that allow the vehicle to reach a wider audience through established dealership channels."
The RV ownership lifecycle encompasses multiple stages, beginning with selection of a suitable model based on intended use. Over time, needs may shift due to factors such as children growing older, retirement enabling more frequent travel, or a preference for different features like increased storage or updated floorplans. These evolutions frequently lead to decisions about retaining, upgrading, or parting with the current RV. Dealerships like Bobby Combs RV Centers contribute to this process by offering avenues for both acquisition and disposition of vehicles, including the consignment pathway that places owner-held RVs into circulation alongside new and pre-owned stock.
Parts and service departments further support owners throughout these stages. Regular maintenance ensures reliability during active use, while any necessary repairs or updates prior to resale help maintain vehicle condition. With locations in Mesa and Yuma in Arizona, Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, and Caldwell in Idaho, and Coburg in Oregon, the dealership provides regional access to these resources.
Bobby Combs RV Centers operates six dealerships in Arizona, Idaho, and Oregon, offering new and used RVs from leading manufacturers including Jayco, Forest River, Thor, and Keystone RV. The inventory covers various types such as Class A motorhomes, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, truck campers, pop-up tent trailers, and destination trailers. Services encompass RV consignment, financing options, and dedicated parts and service departments to address maintenance and repair needs.
