CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ – Buying a recreational vehicle should feel like the start of something exciting—not a maze of conflicting advice, unclear pricing, and post-purchase surprises. For buyers across New Jersey, the search for reliable guidance lands many families at Driftwood RV Center, the Cape May Court House dealership that has helped customers enter the RV lifestyle since 1972.
What Buyers Actually Need From an RV Dealer
An RV purchase involves more than picking a floor plan.
According to the RV Industry Association, 9.6 million U.S. households plan to buy an RV within the next five years. Yet the buying experience at many lots ends the moment paperwork is signed. Buyers then spend months locating service centers, negotiating trade-in values elsewhere, or learning their unit's systems through trial and error.
Three friction points come up repeatedly among first-time and returning buyers:
-
Finding a model that fits both travel style and household budget
-
Accessing consistent, qualified maintenance after purchase
-
Getting an accurate, fair trade-in value on an existing unit
A dealership built to address all three is a different experience from one built only to close sales.
A Full-Service RV Dealer Built Around the Whole Journey
Driftwood RV Center operates as a full-service RV dealer, which means inventory, service, and trade-in support exist within the same operation.
The inventory includes travel trailers, fifth wheels, 30-foot travel trailers, and two-bedroom destination trailers, with new and used units arriving consistently. Stock updates daily, giving buyers tracking specific models or price points a real-time advantage.
For buyers who want year-round browsing access, an indoor showroom eliminates the seasonal limitations of outdoor-only lots.
RV Sales and Service Under One Roof
Most buyers separate the purchase decision from the service decision—often discovering too late that the two are deeply connected. Driftwood RV Center brings RV sales and service together under one operation, so buyers are not starting from scratch when maintenance needs arise.

The campground orientation stay is a standout program. New buyers spend time at a campground with their unit before driving independently—a practical bridge between signing paperwork and actually living in the RV.
The on-site repair team handles routine maintenance and more involved service work. Mobile technicians extend that reach beyond the lot, an advantage for buyers who need service where they are rather than where the dealership is.
Reading the Market Before Committing
The North American RV market was valued at $19.83 billion in 2024, according to Mordor Intelligence, with projections pointing to $29.11 billion by 2029. Within that growth story, 2024 also saw a 6.9% decline in new RV sales and a softening of used RV values—conditions that favor buyers willing to act before demand reverses.
RV vacations consistently run 27% to 62% less expensive per day than traditional air-and-hotel trips, according to RVIA research. That affordability gap drives continued demand, and dealerships carrying diverse inventory across price categories are better positioned to match buyers where they are financially.
Recognition Earned, Not Purchased
Driftwood RV Center in Cape May Court House earned the Best of The Press Award for Best RV Dealership—recognition driven by buyer satisfaction in Cape May County. For a family-owned operation, that distinction reflects something a marketing budget cannot produce: consistent delivery on what was promised.
The dealership serves buyers across Cape May County and New Jersey, with an approach rooted in five decades of family ownership. Buyers ready to explore inventory, discuss financing, or schedule a service appointment can reach the team directly.
