New & Used RV Dealership & Sales near Madison, AL

Two stores serving Madison

Madison is a short trip from our Decatur store

Johnston RV Center does not have a store in Madison, but the city sits along I-565 between Huntsville and Decatur, which puts our Decatur store a short drive west. That makes it one of the easiest RV trips in the area. The Cullman store is farther south on I-65 and is worth the extra miles when the unit you want is parked there. Store details are on our Decatur RV dealership page and Cullman RV dealership page.

Johnston describes itself as a small family business, with sales, service and parts at each store. In October 2026 the combined inventory leaned heavily toward towables, with travel trailers far ahead of fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers, and new units outnumbering used ones.

A tip we share with a lot of Madison families: buy for the trips you take most, not the one you dream about. If your weekends are a night or two within an hour of home, a mid-size trailer that hitches and sets up quickly will see much more use than a long rig. If longer trips are the plan, weigh storage, tank sizes and a comfortable bed more heavily than tow weight.

Your hitch setup matters as much as the trailer. Set the brake controller for the loaded weight, and ask whether the trailer you like calls for a weight distribution hitch, which levels the tow vehicle and steadies the trailer in crosswinds on I-565 and I-65. Before your first long trip, practice backing and turning in an empty lot so the first campsite does not become a lesson in front of an audience.

Fifth wheels, toy haulers and destination trailers

A year of RV care for Madison owners

North Alabama has hot summers and real winter freezes, so RV maintenance follows the calendar. This is the rhythm that keeps repair bills low.

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

RV Warranty Forever for Madison 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.

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 covered repairs authorized before work starts. Owner-performed maintenance does not qualify. With the Decatur service department so close to Madison, most owners simply book the annual visit there.

New, used, financing and trade-ins

Both stores carry pre-owned units next to new inventory. A new RV gives you current floor plans, full factory coverage and Warranty Forever from day one. A used RV costs less, but its condition depends on how it was stored, so check floors, roof seams, slides, appliances and tire date codes, and ask for service records. Browse new RVs, used RVs and RVs under $20,000.

The finance department lists repayment schedules of up to 15 to 20 years and lets you roll parts, service and extended protection into the loan depending on the amount. Start with the online credit application. Settle on a total price first, then the payment, since longer terms add interest.

If you own an RV now, the trade-in and consignment page offers a quote within 24 hours, a cash offer with no purchase required, or consignment with photos, marketing, showings and storage handled by Johnston. Check specials, clearance and the deal of the week too.
