For Colorado families planning outdoor adventures, choosing the right recreational vehicle can be a complex decision involving sleeping capacity, towing compatibility, and long-term ownership costs. The Great Outdoors RV, a dealership in Greeley, Colorado, is drawing attention to its pre-owned inventory of used RVs in Colorado, including bunkhouse campers and travel trailers, to help buyers compare options before making a purchase.
The dealership’s listings feature a range of models with varying lengths, weights, and layouts. For smaller groups or couples, the 2023 Sunset Park RV Sunray 109 offers a compact 12-foot option with a listed weight of 1,320 pounds, sleeping space for two, and an outdoor kitchen. Larger families may consider models like the 2024 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 261BHSW, which measures 30 feet and sleeps up to 10 people, or the 2025 Keystone RV Coleman Lantern 28BHS, a 33-foot trailer with sleeping space for eight.
Bunkhouse campers are particularly appealing for families because they provide dedicated sleeping areas, eliminating the need to convert dining or lounge spaces into beds each night. The inventory includes models such as the 2025 Coachmen Clipper 3K Series 17CBH, a 20-foot trailer that sleeps five, and the 2022 Forest River Ozark 1530VBKX, a 22-foot model sleeping four. The 2025 Venture Sonic Lite SL169VUD, also 22 feet, sleeps six and adds a slide-out and outdoor kitchen for extra convenience.
Beyond sleeping capacity, buyers should evaluate floor plans in person to assess kitchen and bathroom access, storage, and overall livability. When comparing camper trailers in Colorado, experts advise looking beyond the sticker price. Towing requirements, trailer dimensions, condition, and maintenance history all affect whether an RV is a practical choice. The tow vehicle must be rated for the trailer’s loaded weight, tongue weight, and hitch setup, and buyers should account for passengers, water, and gear rather than relying solely on dry-weight figures.
A thorough inspection of any used RV should cover the roof, seals, tires, brakes, plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances, as well as signs of water intrusion. Service records and the operation of slide-outs and awnings are also worth reviewing. Storage space at home and ongoing costs such as insurance, registration, maintenance, and campground fees should factor into the ownership budget.
The Great Outdoors RV, which has operated since 2005 and moved to West Greeley in 2020, offers more than sales. Its service department provides maintenance, inspections, roof repairs, winterization, and slide-out repairs, while parts and accessories support routine upkeep. According to owner Jeremy Heberer, the dealership’s focus has been on quality RVs, reliable service, and a positive buying experience, with the West Greeley move expanding inventory and support for RV owners. The business is locally owned and operated and serves Northern Colorado and beyond from its location at 11521 21st Street in Greeley.
