New & Used RV Dealership & Sales in Decatur, AL

Visit the Decatur store

A towable RV specialist on the Tennessee River

Decatur sits on the Tennessee River in Morgan County, a short drive from Athens, Hartselle, Madison and Huntsville. That location makes the Johnston RV Center Decatur store an easy stop for most of North Alabama. Johnston describes itself as a small family business, and the Decatur store keeps sales, service and parts at the same address, so your questions after the sale go to the same place you bought the RV.

The Decatur lot is built almost entirely around towables. When we checked inventory for this page in October 2026, travel trailers made up the large majority of what was on the ground, followed by fifth wheels, toy haulers and a smaller group of destination trailers. New units far outnumbered used ones. If you are shopping for something you pull behind a truck or SUV, Decatur gives you a wide range of floor plans to compare in a single visit.

Travel trailers for sale in Decatur, AL

• Forest River Rockwood. The Rockwood Mini Lite, Rockwood Ultra Lite and Rockwood Geo Pro cover lightweight to mid-size trailers. See Rockwood RVs in Decatur.
• Forest River Cherokee. The Grey Wolf, Wolf Pup and Alpha Wolf lines give you a lot of layouts at family-friendly price points. Browse Cherokee RVs in Decatur. Johnston describes itself as “Alabama's #1 dealer of America's best-selling camper brand, Cherokee.”
• Other towables on the lot. Look at No Boundaries for off-grid weekends, Vibe for modern family layouts, and Prime Time Avenger or the full Prime Time lineup in Decatur.

When a family asks us where to start, we ask three things first. Where will you camp most, who sleeps where, and what are you towing with? A couple heading to Point Mallard or Joe Wheeler State Park for long weekends needs a different trailer than a family of five planning two weeks in the Smokies. Answer those on paper, and the list of real candidates gets short fast.

Fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers

Fifth wheels are the second largest group in Decatur. They need a pickup with a hitch in the bed, but they tow with less sway and give you a raised front bedroom, more storage and residential-style kitchens. Compare the Riverstone, Sandpiper, Rockwood Signature, Cherokee Arctic Wolf, Cedar Creek and Impression lines, or browse fifth wheels for sale in Decatur.

If you ride dirt bikes or side-by-sides, or just want a garage that turns into a patio, see toy haulers in Decatur, including the Forest River XLR line. People who plan to park a camper at a lake lot or seasonal site for months should look at destination trailers in Decatur such as the Cherokee Timberwolf, Cedar Creek Cottage and Lost Pines. They are built to be lived in, not towed every weekend.

Which RV type fits how you camp

RV Warranty Forever: what it covers and what you must do

Johnston RV Center includes the RV Warranty Forever program at no cost with every new and qualifying pre-owned towable and motorized RV. Coverage lasts as long as you own the RV, with 100% parts and labor on covered components and no deductible. Covered systems include brakes, suspension, the water system, kitchen appliances, the LP gas and heating systems, and the coach air conditioning.

The coverage only stays in force if you keep your side of the agreement. Here is how that works in practice.

RV service and parts in Decatur

The Johnston RV service and parts center works on all RV makes and models. Routine work includes re-packing wheel bearings, generator service, chassis lubrication, roof sealant inspection, slide-out maintenance and awning adjustment. The shop also repairs solar systems, house electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roof AC units, refrigerators and water heaters, and it installs upgrades such as lithium batteries, inverters, backup cameras and Starlink setups.

North Alabama gets enough hard freezes that winterization is not optional. The service team offers complete winterization and spring de-winterization, along with pre-purchase inspections, annual safety checks, insurance inspections and warranty inspections. Service hours in Decatur are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:30 AM to noon. Parts are open later, until 6:00 PM on weekdays and 5:00 PM on Saturday.

Ownership habits that save money

• Inspect roof sealant every spring and fall. Water damage is one of the costliest repairs an RV can need, and it usually starts as a small gap.
• Have wheel bearings serviced on schedule, especially if you tow long distances on I-65 or I-565.
• Winterize before the first hard freeze, and de-winterize properly in spring so lines and fittings are not stressed.
• Keep batteries on a maintainer and tires covered while the RV is parked.
• Keep every service receipt. They protect your Warranty Forever coverage and help resale value.

Financing, trade-ins and consignment

The Johnston RV finance department handles financing at the dealership for travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes and toy haulers. The site lists repayment schedules of up to 15 to 20 years, and depending on your loan amount you can roll parts, service and extended protection into the loan. You can apply for financing online before your visit.

A longer term lowers the payment, but it also raises the total interest you pay, and it can leave you owing more than the RV is worth for several years. Our advice is to set a total budget first, put down what you comfortably can, and choose the shortest term that keeps the payment in a range you will not worry about. Ask to see the total cost of the loan, not just the monthly figure.

Already own an RV? The trade-in and consignment page gives you three options. Trade it toward your next RV with a quote within 24 hours, take a cash offer without buying anything, or consign it so Johnston handles the photos, marketing, showings and storage at its facility. Bring service records and your loan payoff details to the inspection.
