New & Used RV Dealership & Sales near Huntsville, AL

Two stores serving Huntsville

Why Huntsville RV buyers head west to Decatur

Johnston RV Center does not have a store in Huntsville. For most buyers in the Rocket City, the Decatur store is the closest stop, reached by heading west on I-565 past Madison. The Cullman store sits farther south on I-65 and is worth the drive when the floor plan you want is parked there. See the Decatur RV dealership page and Cullman RV dealership page for store details.

Johnston describes itself as a small family business, with sales, service and parts at both stores. Across the two lots, the October 2026 inventory was built mainly around towables. Travel trailers made up the large majority, followed by fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers, and new units well outnumbered used ones.

Size the trailer to your typical weekend. Many Huntsville families camp within an hour of home, and a trailer that hitches, backs in and levels quickly gets used far more than a long rig. If you plan a few big trips a year, put more weight on tank sizes, storage and a bed you will sleep well in.

Layout deserves as much attention as length. Families with young kids usually want a bunkhouse so the children have their own space and the adults are not sleeping on a converted dinette. Couples often prefer a rear bath or a front bedroom with walk-around space. Sit in the dinette, lie on every bed and stand in the shower before you decide, because a floor plan that looks great online can feel very different in person.

Fifth wheels, toy haulers and motorhomes

Couples planning longer trips often prefer fifth wheels near Huntsville from Riverstone, Sandpiper, Arctic Wolf and Cedar Creek. Riders can browse toy haulers near Huntsville, including XLR models. Motorized units are rare in this inventory, but motorhomes near Huntsville lists anything available now.

Match the RV to the trips Huntsville buyers take

North Alabama puts a lot of good camping within reach of Huntsville, and each kind of trip points to a different RV.

New or used: what Huntsville buyers should weigh

Most of the Johnston inventory is new, but both stores carry pre-owned units, so you can compare the two on one visit.

Browse new RVs, used RVs or used units in Decatur. On any pre-owned camper, ask for service records and look for soft floors near the door and bathroom, staining around roof vents and slides that drag. If budget leads, start with RVs under $20,000 and the deal of the week.

RV Warranty Forever for Huntsville owners

Every new and qualifying pre-owned RV from Johnston includes 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.

Many Huntsville owners book the annual visit with the Decatur service department so the repair order and reporting are handled in one place.

Service, financing and trade-ins

The Johnston service and parts center works on all RV makes and models. It handles wheel bearing and generator service, roof sealant inspections, slide-out and awning work, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigerator and water heater repair, winterization and de-winterization, pre-purchase and insurance inspections, and upgrades such as 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.

The finance department 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. Compare offers by total cost, not just the payment, and put enough down that you are not owing more than the RV is worth for years.

Mistakes Huntsville buyers can avoid

Most RV regrets come from a few avoidable decisions. These are the ones we help Huntsville buyers sidestep.

• Driving to Decatur without calling first to confirm the unit is still on the lot.
• Choosing a trailer at the very edge of your tow rating, then feeling every grade and crosswind.
• Shopping by sleeping capacity without checking where each person actually sleeps.
• Forgetting storage. Many Huntsville neighborhoods restrict RV parking, so line up a spot first.
• Skipping the annual maintenance that keeps Warranty Forever active.
• Not recording the delivery walkthrough. Pet owners can also start with the pet-friendly RV list.
