New & Used RV Dealership & Sales in Lakeland, FL

The I-4 corridor's RV store

Lakeland sits on I-4 between Tampa and Orlando, which makes it one of the easiest places in Central Florida to reach from either side. Buyers from Brandon, Plant City and the rest of Hillsborough County can be on the lot without fighting downtown Tampa traffic, and families in Polk County have a full-line dealer close to home. The Gerzeny's finance team lists the Lakeland store as its home base for Tampa, Orlando and Central Florida shoppers.

Gerzeny's RV World has been family owned since 1977, and Lakeland is one of four Gerzeny's stores in Florida. The lot here is built around the RVs Central Florida buyers ask for most: travel trailers, Class C motorhomes and a strong group of Class B camper vans. When we checked inventory in October 2026, Lakeland had more Class B vans than our Bradenton or Fort Myers stores, plus a healthy mix of used units.

Travel trailers and campers for sale in Lakeland

Travel trailers are the largest category in Lakeland. For Central Florida families they make a lot of sense: you can camp at the Gulf beaches one weekend and the springs north of Orlando the next, unhitch at the site, and explore in the vehicle you already drive. Start with travel trailers for sale in Lakeland or the wider list of campers in Lakeland. Shoppers who want a specific brand can go straight to Forest River RVs in Lakeland or Coachmen RVs in Lakeland.

Weight is the first filter we apply with trailer buyers. A half-ton pickup and a midsize SUV are very different tow vehicles, and the trailer's GVWR, not its dry weight, is the honest number to compare with your tow rating. Leave a margin, especially if you will carry water, a generator or bikes. Our tow guides go through the numbers step by step.

Fifth wheels and toy haulers

Fifth wheels are a smaller part of this lot, but they are here for buyers who want a private front bedroom and the stable towing a bed-mounted hitch provides. See Forest River fifth wheels in Lakeland or every fifth wheel at this store. If your weekends involve dirt bikes, side-by-sides or a golf cart for the campground, check toy haulers in Lakeland.

Camper vans and Class C motorhomes in Lakeland

Class C motorhomes are the second largest group here. They are the practical middle ground between a van and a big coach: a cab-over bed or storage area, a dedicated rear bedroom in many layouts, a dinette that converts to another bed, and a size most people get comfortable driving after a day or two. Browse motorhomes for sale in Lakeland, every Class C at this store, or the Sprinter-based Coachmen Prism Elite.

Lakeland is also a good stop for Class B camper vans. Look at the Winnebago Ekko, the Coachmen Class B lineup and the broader Winnebago selection in Lakeland. Pre-owned vans from builders like Leisure Travel Vans show up here from time to time, so check the Lakeland used inventory often if that is what you want.

Three buyers we see often in Lakeland

If none of those sounds like you, that is fine. Tell the sales team where you camp, how many people sleep inside and what you drive today, and they can narrow the list from there. Class A buyers should also browse the group-wide Class A inventory, since most of it sits at our other stores.

New and used RVs: what Lakeland buyers should weigh

Lakeland carries a meaningful share of pre-owned units next to its new inventory. A new RV gives you full manufacturer warranty coverage and today's floor plans. A used RV saves money because the first owner took the early depreciation, but its value depends almost entirely on how it was stored and maintained.

On any used RV, ask for service records, open every cabinet, and smell for mustiness that can signal past water intrusion. Look at the ceiling around roof vents for staining, run the generator under load, extend and retract every slide twice, and check the date codes on the tires. If something seems off, ask the dealership to explain it before you negotiate on price.

Browse new RVs in Lakeland and used RVs in Lakeland, then check group specials, overstock deals and the deal of the week. The full new RV inventory also shows Gerzeny's guaranteed price match program, which requires a valid dealer-signed purchase agreement on an identically equipped unit with the same model and chassis year.

Financing and trade-ins in Lakeland

Fill out the Lakeland RV finance application before your visit and the finance office can start on your file before you arrive. Gerzeny's works with a network of lenders and explains add-ons like GAP coverage and extended service contracts so you can decide which ones are worth it for you. You can also use the monthly payment search on the Gerzeny's homepage to match RVs to a budget before you ever talk to a salesperson.

Our advice on payments is simple. Set a monthly number and a total price, and hold both. Stretching a loan to the longest available term can put a nicer RV within reach, but you will pay more interest and you may owe more than the RV is worth for longer. A bigger down payment or a solid trade-in shortens that window.

Speaking of trades, the trade-in and consignment page lets you send photos and details for a valuation Gerzeny's aims to return within 24 hours. You can trade toward a new unit, take a cash offer, or consign it with professional marketing, showings and on-site storage. Read more on the financing page and RV protection plans.

Central Florida RV care: service, parts and what to watch

Polk County summers bring the same challenges as the coast, and plenty of RVs here sit parked for weeks during the hottest months. Long, hot storage is when problems start. Keep an eye on these.

• Sealant and roof membranes crack under constant sun. Inspect them in spring and fall and after hail or heavy storms.
• Rooftop AC units need clean filters and clear coils. Test them a week before a trip, not the morning you leave.
• Moisture inside builds up when the RV is closed. Use a dehumidifier or vent covers and leave cabinet doors open in storage.
• Batteries drain on their own. Use a battery maintainer or disconnect switch so you are not buying new batteries every year.
• Tires age from heat and UV even when the tread looks new. Cover them and read the date codes each season.

The Lakeland service and parts department is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. It handles oil changes, tire rotations and brake checks along with plumbing, electrical, HVAC and structural repairs, warranty service and preventive maintenance plans. Check RV service specials before booking. Body and collision work, including fiberglass and roof repair, is done at the Gerzeny's body shop in Nokomis.

Mistakes we help Lakeland buyers avoid

• Buying a trailer at the very edge of the truck's tow rating, then hauling it on I-4 in summer heat.
• Choosing a floor plan without testing the bed and bathroom for everyone who will use them.
• Forgetting storage. Many Polk County neighborhoods restrict RV parking, so line up a spot first.
• Focusing on the monthly payment and ignoring insurance, storage and campground costs.
• Skipping the walkthrough recording at delivery.

Serving Tampa, Hillsborough County and all of Central Florida

Lakeland customers come from Polk County first, but a large share drive in from Tampa and Hillsborough County, and some come from St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte and Cape Coral when a specific unit is parked here. You can search every Gerzeny's lot at once in the full RV inventory and see new and used RVs for sale in Lakeland on their own page. Store details for all four locations are on the locations page.
