New & Used RV Dealership & Sales near Hartselle, AL

Two stores serving Hartselle

Hartselle sits between both Johnston stores

Few towns are as well placed for RV shopping as Hartselle. The city sits along US-31 and I-65 in Morgan County, with our Decatur store a short drive north and our Cullman store to the south. That means you can see the full Johnston inventory without a long trip, and you can split a visit across both lots in a single day if your shortlist covers both. Store details are on our Decatur RV dealership page and Cullman RV dealership page.

Johnston describes itself as a small family business, and both stores keep sales, service and parts under one roof. In October 2026 the combined inventory was built mainly around towables, with travel trailers far ahead of fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers.

Decatur or Cullman: which store to visit first

The two lots carry similar brands, but the mix differs. This is how they compared when we checked inventory for this page.

If you are comparing a travel trailer with a fifth wheel, Decatur lets you walk more fifth wheels in one stop. If price is the priority, Cullman's larger used selection is a good starting point. Either way, call ahead so the units on your list are ready.

If you lean toward a used camper, inspect it the way our service team would. Press on the floor near the entry door, bathroom and kitchen for soft spots, look at the ceiling around roof vents for staining, run the AC, furnace, water heater and refrigerator, extend every slide twice and read the date code on each tire. Ask for service records. A used RV with a documented maintenance history is usually worth more than a cheaper one with none, and new units come with full factory coverage from day one.

Travel trailers and campers near Hartselle

Travel trailers are the largest category across both stores. Start with travel trailers near Hartselle or the full RVs near Hartselle page, then narrow by brand.

For most Hartselle families, the right trailer is the one that matches their usual weekend. If your trips are a night or two at Point Mallard in Decatur or a lake campground within an hour, a mid-size trailer that hitches and sets up fast will earn its keep. If you are planning longer trips, prioritize storage, tank sizes and a bed you will actually sleep well in.

Fifth wheels, toy haulers and motorhomes

Couples who travel for weeks at a time often prefer fifth wheels near Hartselle such as Riverstone, Sandpiper and Arctic Wolf. Riders can browse toy haulers near Hartselle, including XLR models. Motorized units are scarce in this inventory, but motorhomes near Hartselle lists anything currently available, and destination trailers suit buyers who want a camper parked at one site all season.

A year of RV ownership in North Alabama

North Alabama gets hot summers and real winter freezes, so RV care follows the calendar. This is the rhythm we recommend to Hartselle owners.

The Johnston service and parts center handles all of it, including winterization and de-winterization, roof sealant inspections, wheel bearing and generator service, slide-out and awning work, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigerator and water heater repairs, inspections, and upgrades such as solar, lithium batteries, backup cameras and Starlink. It works on all makes and models, and service runs weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday mornings until noon.

RV Warranty Forever for Hartselle owners

Every new and qualifying pre-owned RV from Johnston comes with RV Warranty Forever at no added cost. It covers 100% of parts and labor on listed components, with no deductible, for as long as you own the RV. Covered systems include brakes, suspension, the water system, kitchen appliances, LP gas, heating and the coach air conditioner.

To keep it active, complete the annual maintenance in your agreement at a professional repair facility, report it within 30 days of your purchase anniversary, and get any covered repair authorized before work starts. Owner-performed maintenance does not qualify. With both service departments so close, most Hartselle owners simply book the annual visit at whichever store is more convenient.

Financing and trade-ins

The Johnston finance department works at the dealership and lists repayment schedules of up to 15 to 20 years, with the option to bundle parts, service and extended protection into the loan depending on the amount. Start with the online credit application so options are ready when you arrive.

Our advice is the same for every buyer: settle on a total price first, then the payment. A longer term makes the monthly number smaller but adds interest, and it can leave you owing more than the RV is worth for years. A solid down payment or trade keeps that gap small.

Selling or trading? The trade-in and consignment page offers a quote within 24 hours, a cash offer with no purchase required, or consignment where Johnston handles photos, marketing, showings and storage. Check RV specials, clearance units and the deal of the week before you settle on a budget.
