Boise RV Dealer Guide: An Honest Look at Every Dealership in the Treasure Valley

Last Updated: February 2026 | Methodology: On-the-ground research, public inventory data, and direct conversations with Treasure Valley RV buyers and dealerships

What This Guide Is (And Why We Wrote It Honestly)

Here’s what most people do when they decide to buy an RV in Boise: they Google “RV dealers near me,” they get a list of ten dealerships, and then they spend the next two weekends driving from lot to lot on Chinden Blvd and Garrity Blvd trying to figure out who’s worth their time.

That’s easily 10-15 hours of windshield time you’ll never get back. 

We built this guide to fix that problem, not by telling you which dealer is “the best,” but by giving you enough honest, specific information to narrow your list before you ever leave the house.

A note about our approach: We believe every dealership in the Treasure Valley earns their spot in this guide. Each one serves a different type of buyer, carries different brands, and offers a different experience. Our job isn’t to pick winners and losers. It’s to help you find your right fit, and to help dealers connect with the customers who are actually looking for what they offer.

That’s how everybody wins.

How We Evaluated Every Dealer in the Valley

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: most “best RV dealer” articles online are either paid placements or thin listicles written by someone who’s never set foot in Boise. We think you deserve better than that.

Here’s exactly what we looked at for every dealership in this guide:

Inventory Scope: Do they carry new, used, or both? What classes and brands? A dealer who specializes in Class A diesel pushers is solving a completely different problem than one focused on lightweight travel trailers.

Service Capabilities: How many service bays do they operate? Can they handle warranty work? Do they service brands they didn’t sell? This is the question most first-time buyers forget to ask, and it’s arguably the most important one.

Brands & Specialization: Some dealers carry 15 brands. Some carry one or two. Neither approach is wrong it depends on whether you want to comparison-shop under one roof or work with someone who knows a single product line inside and out.

Buying Experience & Transparency: Do they publish pricing online? What’s the financing process? What do actual buyers say in reviews, not the five-star reviews, but the three-star ones that tell you what the experience is really like?

Location & Accessibility: Where are they in the valley, and does that matter for your service visits down the road?

Matchmaking Quiz for Boise RV Dealers at a Glance

To match yourself with our RV Dealer Quiz see our Best RV Dealers Compared page.

The High-Volume Dealers

These are the dealerships with the biggest lots, the deepest inventory, and the most service infrastructure. If you want to walk a dozen floorplans in a single Saturday, start here.

  • Bish’s RV – Meridian

    The one-sentence version: Bish’s is the highest-volume dedicated RV dealer in the Treasure Valley, with deep inventory across towable and motorized classes and a service department built to match.

    What makes Bish’s worth your time is the sheer selection. When you’re trying to decide between a Grand Design Reflection and a Keystone Montana, being able to walk both floorplans back-to-back on the same lot saves you a weekend of driving. Their service department handles warranty work across their brand portfolio, which matters more than most buyers realize because your relationship with a dealer doesn’t end at the sale, it starts there.

    The trade-off with any high-volume dealer is that the experience can feel more transactional. If you want someone to spend three hours walking you through your first RV purchase, set that expectation upfront. The good salespeople here will do exactly that.

    Bretz RV & Marine – Nampa (+ Boise)

    The one-sentence version: Bretz combines RV and marine sales under one roof er… well.. two roofs actually. They have a location on the Garrity Blvd corridor, with a large used inventory fed by trade-ins from both sides of the business, and they also have one in Boise.

    The Bretz advantage for RV buyers is their trade-in volume. Because they’re taking in boats, RVs, and sometimes powersports equipment, their used RV selection turns over frequently. If you’re shopping pre-owned and you don’t find what you want today, it’s worth checking back in two weeks.

    Their Nampa location on Garrity Blvd puts you in the heart of the western Treasure Valley dealer corridor. If you’re planning a multi-lot Saturday, you can pair this stop with other Nampa and Caldwell dealers without backtracking.

    Dennis Dillon RV – Boise

    The one-sentence version: Dennis Dillon is the legacy Boise auto group name, and their RV division carries the weight of that reputation full-service, established, and integrated with a larger dealership ecosystem.

    The Dennis Dillon difference is institutional stability. They’ve been selling vehicles in this valley for decades. For RV buyers, that translates to a service department that isn’t going anywhere, financing through an established F&I team, and the general peace of mind that comes with buying from a name your neighbors recognize. Their inventory skews toward the major national brands.

The Specialists

  • These dealers don’t try to be everything to everyone – and that’s exactly why certain buyers should go to them first.

    Airstream Adventures Boise – Caldwell

    The one-sentence version: If you’re buying an Airstream, this is the only conversation you need to have in Caldwell. Yes, their location is in Caldwell not Boise.

    We’ll be direct: if you already know you want an Airstream, going to a multi-brand dealer and asking about Airstreams is like going to a general practitioner for a heart condition. You’ll get an answer, but it won’t be the best one. Airstream Adventures lives and breathes a single product line. Their staff can tell you the difference between model years, which floorplans hold value best, and which accessories are actually worth the money. That depth of knowledge is something you cannot replicate at a general dealer.

    The trade-off is obvious: if you’re not sure you want an Airstream, this isn’t your first stop. Start at a high-volume dealer, narrow your options, and come here once you’ve decided.

    Legacy Powersports & RV – La Grande, OR

    The one-sentence version: Legacy serves the buyer who wants an RV and toys to tow behind it, like ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides alongside travel trailers and fifth wheels. WAIT… OREGON? Yep. Many Boise area RVers take the trek to La Grande and you know why? That’s where Northwood Manufacturing is!

     

     

    Besides everyone knows Idaho is a state where people don’t just RV, they RV to a basecamp and then ride. If that’s your lifestyle, Legacy is built for you. The ability to finance an RV and a UTV together, service both under one roof, and work with a sales team that understands the full adventure package is genuinely valuable and makes it worth the trip to Oregon.

    Uncharted Recreation – Meridian

    The one-sentence version: Uncharted caters to the overland and adventure crowd the buyers who want something different from a standard travel trailer.

    If you’ve been watching overlanding content on YouTube and you’re ready to buy something that can handle Forest Service roads and BLM dispersed camping near Kuna or Bruneau, Uncharted is speaking your language. They carry rigs and equipment that the big-box RV dealers typically don’t stock.

The National Chain

Camping World – Meridian + Caldwell

The one-sentence version: Camping World gives you the national brand experience with large inventory, Good Sam membership perks, and a service warranty network that follows you across state lines.

Here’s the honest take on Camping World: the online reviews are polarized, and that’s true of every Camping World location nationwide, not just Meridian and Caldwell. Some buyers have excellent experiences. Some don’t. The difference is often which salesperson and service advisor you work with.

What Camping World offers that local dealers can’t is a national service network. If you’re planning to full-time or spend months on the road, being able to get warranty work done in Phoenix or Portland without being told “we only service units we sold” has real value. That’s a meaningful advantage for a specific type of buyer.

The Boutique & Used Specialists

These dealers tend to run leaner operations with smaller lots — but that often means more personal attention and better deals on pre-owned units.

Leisureland RV – Meridian

A consignment and used RV operation that’s worth checking if you’re shopping pre-owned. The inventory changes frequently, so bookmark their page and check back regularly. Used RV pricing in Boise is competitive, and consignment lots like Leisureland sometimes surface rigs at below-market prices because private sellers want a quick sale.

Happy Camper RV Sales – Caldwell + Garden City + Boise (HQ)

Focused on used inventory at accessible price points. If you’re a first-time buyer who doesn’t want to spend $60,000 learning whether you actually enjoy RVing, starting with a quality used rig from a dealer like Happy Camper is a smart financial move. You can always upgrade later once you know what features matter to you. It’s veteran-owned as well!

Bobby Combs RV – Caldwell

A regional dealer with a presence in the Treasure Valley. They’re focused on providing a family friendly experience day in and day out. Check the full profile for current inventory focus and service capabilities.

Choosing the Right RV for Idaho

This section isn’t about telling you which RV is “the best.” It’s about telling you which questions to ask based on where you’ll actually be driving in Idaho because the terrain here punishes the wrong choice.

The question nobody asks at the dealership (but should): “Can this rig handle the grade from Horseshoe Bend to Banks on Highway 55?”

Idaho is not Iowa. You’re not pulling a fifth wheel across flat interstate for 300 miles. You’re climbing mountain passes, navigating two-lane highways with 6% grades, and dealing with elevation changes that affect your engine, your brakes, and your tire pressure. The rig you buy needs to match the roads you’ll actually drive.

Here’s the framework:

If you’re mostly doing highway travel (I-84 corridor to Portland, I-15 south to Utah, I-90 to Montana): You have the most flexibility. Class A motorhomes, large fifth wheels, and heavy travel trailers all work on interstate highways. Your primary concern is towing capacity and fuel economy, not maneuverability.

If you’re heading into the mountains (Sawtooths via Highway 21, McCall via Highway 55, Sun Valley via Highway 75): You need to think about weight-to-power ratio, tongue weight, and braking capacity on descents. The White Bird Grade on US-95 drops 3,000 feet in 10 miles. A travel trailer that felt fine on I-84 will test your tow vehicle and your nerves on that descent.

If you want to boondock on BLM land (Bruneau, Kuna area, Owyhee County): You’re looking at shorter, more maneuverable rigs with dry camping capability  good battery banks, solar, and water capacity. This is where Class B vans and smaller travel trailers shine.

New vs. Used: The Honest Math

This is the section most dealer guides won’t write, because it doesn’t make anyone more money. But you asked, so here it is.

The case for buying new in Boise: You get full manufacturer warranty. You get to choose your floorplan and options. You build a relationship with a local dealer’s service department from day one. And in Idaho, you’re paying 6% sales tax on the purchase regardless of whether it’s new or used, so there’s no tax advantage to buying used from a dealer.

The case for buying used in Boise: RVs depreciate aggressively a three-year-old travel trailer often sells for 30-40% less than its original MSRP with minimal wear. At Boise’s used dealers and consignment lots, you can find rigs that have been used for a handful of trips and are essentially new.

The case for buying out of state (Elkhart, IN or Salt Lake City, UT): Some buyers drive to Elkhart, Indiana where most RVs are manufactured, or Salt Lake City for larger selection and lower prices. Here’s what they don’t always account for: Idaho requires you to pay sales tax when you title the vehicle here regardless of where you bought it. You’ll also need to factor in transport costs (fuel, campground stays, and the 1,500+ mile drive from Elkhart), plus the fact that your warranty service will need to be handled locally. If the dealer who sold you the rig is 1,500 miles away, you’re relying on a Boise dealer to service a unit they didn’t sell and not all dealers can prioritize those customers equally.

The bottom line: For most Treasure Valley buyers, buying locally (new or used) wins when you factor in the total cost of ownership, including the service relationship. The upfront price difference from an out-of-state purchase often evaporates when you need warranty work.

Maintenance, Winterization & Towing Safety

The Boise Winterization Reality

If you’ve lived through a Treasure Valley inversion, you know: temperatures can stay below freezing for weeks in January and February. Listen, winter of 2026 IS NOT NORMAL. These has been more spring than winter and if this is your first time being here in the winter please don’t think this is how it’ll be every year. Your RV’s plumbing doesn’t care that it’s “only” 25 degrees, water lines freeze at 32, and a burst pipe in your fresh water system costs $500–$2,000 to repair.

Winterization isn’t optional in Boise. It’s the cost of ownership.

The basics: blow out your water lines with compressed air, add RV-specific antifreeze to your plumbing system, disconnect and drain your water heater, and remove your batteries for indoor storage (cold temperatures kill lead-acid batteries over a winter).

Most dealers on our list offer winterization service, typically for $100–$200. It’s worth it if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself.

Come spring, the reverse process, called dewinterization, is equally important. Skipping it means you’re drinking antifreeze-flavored water on your first trip and potentially damaging your water pump.

Towing Safety on Idaho Roads

We dedicated an entire guide to this because it’s that important. Idaho’s terrain makes towing here fundamentally different from towing in most other states.

The critical points: know your tow vehicle’s actual payload capacity (not the marketing number, the real one from the door jamb or passthrough sticker). Understand how altitude affects your engine’s power output (you lose approximately 3% of power per 1,000 feet of elevation). And practice your mountain descent braking technique before you need it on the Horseshoe Bend hill with your family in the truck.

When Something Breaks

It will. Every RV owner eventually needs a part, a repair, or a mobile tech who can come to their campsite. The Treasure Valley has several RV parts suppliers and repair shops beyond the dealer service departments.

Local RV parts stores and suppliers: Boise RV Parts Stores

Storage, Dump Sites & RV Parks

RV Storage in the Treasure Valley

Here’s a reality of RVing in Boise that surprises newcomers: many HOAs and city ordinances restrict RV parking on residential streets and driveways. You’ll likely need off-site storage, and the Treasure Valley market for it is tight, especially for covered storage during the winter months.

Book your storage spot early, ideally before you buy the RV. Prices range from $75–$250+/month depending on whether you’re getting an open gravel lot or an enclosed, climate-controlled bay.

Dump Stations

Knowing where to dump your tanks before or after a trip saves you the hassle of relying on campground facilities. The Treasure Valley has several public dump stations, including some free options.

Complete local dump station directory: RV Dump Sites

RV Parks & Home Base Camping

Whether you need a spot for the night before heading into the Sawtooths or you want a seasonal “home base” site in the valley, the local RV park options range from basic pull-through spots to full-resort amenities.

Registration, Taxes & Smart Buyer Strategies

Idaho RV Registration: The Ada/Canyon County Walkthrough

Registering an RV in Idaho is straightforward but has a few details that trip people up:

Sales tax: Idaho charges 6% sales tax on RV purchases. This applies whether you buy from a dealer (who collects it at sale) or from a private party (you’ll pay at the DMV when you title it). There is no sales tax credit for trading in your old RV in Idaho, unlike some states, your trade-in value doesn’t reduce your taxable amount.

Title and registration: You’ll visit the Ada County or Canyon County DMV (depending on your address) with your signed title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance. Fees vary based on the RV’s age and weight. Expect to pay $50–$150 in registration and title fees beyond the sales tax.

Out-of-state purchases: If you bought in Oregon (no sales tax state), you’ll owe the full 6% when you title in Idaho. If you bought in a state where you already paid sales tax, Idaho gives you a credit for the tax paid, but only up to 6%. If you paid more (like in Washington), you don’t get a refund of the difference.

Consignment & Trade-Ins

If you’re selling your current RV, you have three options in Boise:

Private sale: highest return, most work. You handle photos, listings, tire-kickers, test drives, and paperwork.

Dealer trade-in: most convenient, lowest return. Dealers need margin on used units, so expect to receive wholesale value (typically 60–75% of retail, depending on condition and demand).

Consignment: the middle ground. Dealers like Leisureland RV will put your rig on their lot and sell it for a percentage. You get closer to retail value than a trade-in, but it takes longer and you’re paying a commission (typically 10–15%).

The honest advice: if your RV is worth less than $15,000, a trade-in is usually the right move because the convenience outweighs the price difference. Above $25,000, consignment or private sale starts making significantly more financial sense.

The Questions Everyone Asks

What's the best RV for boondocking on BLM land near Kuna?

For dispersed camping on BLM land in the Kuna, Bruneau, and Owyhee County areas, you want a rig that’s self-contained (no hookups available), maneuverable on gravel roads, and equipped for dry camping. Class B campervans and small travel trailers (under 25 feet) with solar panels and lithium battery banks are the most practical choices. Talk to Uncharted Recreation if you’re serious about overland and off-grid capability, it’s their speciality.

How do I find mobile RV repair in Eagle, Meridian, or Star?

Mobile RV technicians are in high demand in the Treasure Valley, especially during summer. Start by checking our parts and service directory for mobile techs. Pro tip: establish a relationship with a mobile tech before you desperately need one. The techs who are booked solid in July are the ones who’ve earned repeat customers by being reliable and those repeat customers get priority.

Do any Boise RV dealers offer delivery?

Several dealers in the valley will deliver a purchased RV to your home or storage location, though policies vary. Ask about delivery during the sales process it’s often negotiable, especially on higher-priced units.

Can I negotiate RV prices at Boise dealerships?

Yes. RV pricing is almost always negotiable, and any dealer who tells you otherwise is either a rare fixed-price operation or isn’t being straight with you. The key is knowing what you’re negotiating on: MSRP sticker price has built-in margin, but the real conversation is about the out-the-door number that includes prep fees, documentation fees, and any dealer-installed accessories. Ask for the OTD price in writing before you commit.

What are typical dealership hours in the Treasure Valley?

Most Boise-area RV dealers are open Monday through Saturday, with Sunday hours varying. Service departments often have shorter hours than sales floors. If you’re planning a service appointment, call ahead, some shops close at noon on Saturdays. Check individual dealer profiles for current hours.

Is it worth joining Good Sam or an RV club?

If you buy from Camping World, you’ll likely get a Good Sam membership as part of the deal. The discount at Camping World stores and the campground discount network can save frequent campers $200–$500 per year. For occasional weekend warriors, the math is tighter. Passport America and Harvest Hosts are worth looking at as well for different types of camping discounts.
