Johnston RV Center in Cullman is a family-run RV dealership at 273 Schwaiger Rd that sells new and used travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers. Financing, trade-ins, consignment, service and parts are all handled at the store, and qualifying RVs include the RV Warranty Forever program at no added cost.
Cullman sits on I-65 roughly halfway between Birmingham and Huntsville, which makes the Johnston RV Center Cullman store one of the easier RV lots to reach from either metro. Buyers from Gardendale and north Birmingham can come up the interstate, and families from Jasper, Oneonta, Arab and Hartselle are within a reasonable drive on state highways. It is also the closer of the two Johnston stores for anyone heading to Smith Lake for the weekend.
When we reviewed inventory in October 2026, the Cullman lot carried slightly more travel trailers than the Decatur store and a larger share of used units. Fifth wheels were the second biggest group, followed by toy haulers and destination trailers. The one motorized unit in the Johnston inventory at that time was also parked here. As always, stock moves weekly, so treat the chart as a snapshot and click through for current units.

If you are shopping travel trailers in Cullman County, you can see a lot of them here in one afternoon. Begin with travel trailers for sale in Cullman and the broader Forest River campers and travel trailers in Cullman page. Brand shoppers can go straight to Rockwood, Cherokee, Shasta or Prime Time Avenger in Cullman. Johnston describes itself as “Alabama's #1 dealer of America's best-selling camper brand, Cherokee.”
Size is where most trailer decisions are won or lost. Short, light trailers such as the Rockwood Mini Lite or Cherokee Wolf Pup are easy to back into older state park sites and suit a wider range of tow vehicles. Mid-length bunkhouses are the family sweet spot. Longer rear-living or two-bedroom layouts feel like a small apartment, but they need a capable truck and a driver who is comfortable with them. Check the campgrounds you like best before you pick a length, because older sites often have tighter limits.
Fifth wheels are the second largest group in Cullman. The bed-mounted hitch puts more weight over the truck's rear axle, which makes them steadier to tow, and the raised front gives you a private bedroom without sacrificing living space. Compare Riverstone, Sandpiper, Arctic Wolf and Crusader, or browse every fifth wheel for sale in Cullman.
Toy haulers turn the back of the RV into a garage for dirt bikes, ATVs or a golf cart, and the ramp door often doubles as a patio. See toy haulers in Cullman and the XLR and Cherokee Black Label lines. If you plan to leave a camper at one site for months, destination trailers in Cullman give you house-style furniture and full-size appliances. For motorized options, check motorhomes in Cullman, which can include used Class C units like the Tiffin Wayfarer.
Cullman keeps a larger used selection than the Decatur store, so it is a good place to compare both in one visit. Neither choice is always right.
On any used RV, push on the floor around the entry door, bathroom and kitchen for soft spots. Look at ceiling panels near roof vents for staining, check the date codes on the tires, run the furnace, AC and water heater, and extend every slide. Ask for service records. Browse used RVs in Cullman and new RVs in Cullman, and check RVs under $20,000 and the deal of the week if budget is tight.
Every new and qualifying pre-owned RV from Johnston includes RV Warranty Forever, which covers 100% of parts and labor on listed components for as long as you own the RV. The catch is simple but strict: complete the annual maintenance in your agreement at a professional repair facility, report it within 30 days of your purchase anniversary, and get repairs authorized before work starts. The Cullman service department can handle that annual visit for you.
The Johnston service and parts center works on all makes and models. In Cullman County, the jobs that matter most are roof sealant inspections, wheel bearing service, winterization before the first hard freeze and de-winterization in spring. The shop also repairs plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigerators and water heaters, performs pre-purchase and insurance inspections, and installs solar, lithium batteries, inverters, backup cameras and Starlink. Service is open weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday mornings until noon.
Financing is handled in-house by the Johnston RV finance team, which serves both Cullman and Decatur. The dealership lists repayment schedules of up to 15 to 20 years and lets you bundle parts, service and extended protection into the loan depending on the amount. Start with the online credit application so the team can review options before you arrive.
Before you sign, ask for the out-the-door price and the total cost of the loan. Stretching to the longest term can make a bigger RV look affordable while costing you more in interest, and an RV can lose value faster than a long loan balance drops in the early years. A solid down payment or a trade helps keep that gap small.
If you are selling or trading, the trade-in and consignment page offers a trade quote within 24 hours, a cash offer with no purchase required, or consignment with professional photos, marketing, showings and storage at the dealership. The site also lists tax advantages on a new purchase as a benefit of trading in, so ask how that applies to your deal.
Cullman customers come from across Cullman County and from Gardendale, Birmingham, Jasper, Oneonta, Arab, Albertville and Hartselle. Many Huntsville, Madison and Athens buyers make the drive too when a specific unit is parked here. Every unit from both stores appears in the full RV inventory, and you can browse new and used RVs for sale in Cullman on their own page. Store details for both locations are on the locations page.
Pick a few floor plans online, call ahead so they are ready to walk through, and bring everyone who will be sleeping in the RV.
