New & Used RV Dealership & Sales in Nokomis, FL

Why RV shoppers in Sarasota County start in Nokomis

Nokomis sits on US 41 between Venice and Sarasota, which puts the store within easy reach of most of Sarasota County. Gerzeny's RV World has been family owned since 1977, and the Nokomis store is home to the group's RV body shop. That matters more than it sounds. When the people who sell your RV work in the same building as the people who fix it, questions about a slide-out, a roof seam or a warranty claim get answered by walking across the lot instead of waiting on a callback.

When we reviewed the inventory for this page in October 2026, Nokomis carried the largest selection of the four Gerzeny's stores. It also had more Class A and Class B motorhomes than Bradenton, Fort Myers or Lakeland. Stock changes every week, so use the chart below as a snapshot of how the lot is balanced and click through for the units that are on the ground today.

Motorhomes for sale in Nokomis

Class C motorhomes are the largest motorized group on this lot. They are built on a van or truck chassis with a bunk over the cab, and they suit couples and small families who want a real bed, a bathroom and a kitchen without driving something the size of a city bus. If you want a heavier chassis and more cargo capacity, compare the Super C motorhomes. If you want something that slips into a beach parking lot in Venice, look at B+ models, which drop the cab bunk for a lower profile. You can browse every Class C motorhome in Nokomis on one page.

Class B camper vans

Nokomis has the deepest selection of Class B camper vans in the Gerzeny's group. A camper van is the RV people actually use every week. It fits a standard parking space, plenty of owners drive it as a second vehicle, and a night at Myakka River State Park becomes a spur-of-the-moment plan instead of a weekend project. Compare the Travato van and the Sprinter-based View on our Winnebago View and Travato page, see the Coachmen Class B lineup in Nokomis, and look at Leisure Travel Vans and Pleasure-Way, two more van builders we carry.

One honest note on vans: the bathroom is small, the galley is small, and storage is tight. Couples who travel light love them. Families of four usually feel cramped by day three. Sit in one with the bed made up and the bathroom door closed before you decide.

Class A coaches

For long winters on the road or full-time travel, a Class A gives you the most living space, the biggest holding tanks and basement storage you can actually load. Gas coaches cost less to buy and are simpler to service. Diesel pushers generally ride quieter, handle hills better and tow a heavier car, but they cost more up front and at service time. Browse Class A motorhomes in Nokomis or filter the group's diesel inventory. If you like the idea of a Class C with a little more polish, the Forest River Sunseeker and the Coachmen Prism Elite are both worth a walk-through here.

Travel trailers, fifth wheels and toy haulers in Nokomis

Travel trailers are the largest single category in Nokomis, and they are where most first-time buyers land. You keep the truck or SUV you already own, the trailer stays at the campsite while you drive to the beach, and the purchase price usually sits well below a comparable motorhome. Start with travel trailers for sale in Nokomis, then narrow by length and weight. Lighter units such as the inTech Sol are built for smaller tow vehicles.

Fifth wheels need a pickup with a hitch mounted in the bed, but they tow with less sway and give you a split-level layout with a private bedroom up front. They are a favorite with snowbirds who park at one resort for weeks. See Forest River fifth wheels and travel trailers in Nokomis, the Forest River Cardinal, or every fifth wheel at this store. If you haul motorcycles, a golf cart or kayaks, toy haulers in Nokomis add a rear ramp door and a garage that doubles as a patio.

Which RV type fits how you travel

New or used RV: how to decide at the Nokomis store

Nokomis keeps a solid used inventory next to its new units, so it is a good place to compare the two in the same afternoon. A new RV gives you the full manufacturer warranty, current floor plans and first owner records. A used RV lets the first owner absorb the steepest part of depreciation, and a well-kept unit a few years old can be the smartest money on the lot.

If you shop used, inspect for the things Florida is hard on. Press on the floor around the shower, toilet and entry door for soft spots. Look down the sidewalls in low light for ripples, which can point to delamination. Check every roof seam and the sealant around vents. Run the air conditioner for at least fifteen minutes. Read the four-digit date code on each tire, because sun ages rubber long before the tread wears out.

Browse new RVs in Nokomis and used RVs in Nokomis, then check the group RV specials, overstock deals and the deal of the week. Gerzeny's also advertises a guaranteed price match on new units; it requires a valid dealer-signed purchase agreement on an identically equipped unit with the same model and chassis year, so bring that paperwork with you.

Owning an RV on the Gulf Coast: maintenance that matters here

Florida is easy on RVers in winter and hard on RVs all year. Most of the expensive repairs we see trace back to water, heat or sun, and almost all of them are cheaper to prevent than to fix. Here is the short list we give new owners in Sarasota County.

• Roof and seals. Inspect roof sealant, seams and window seals at least twice a year and after any big storm. A small gap lets water into the wall, and you will not see the damage until the floor goes soft.
• Air conditioning. Clean the filters monthly during heavy use and run the unit before every trip. If the AC struggles in July, it will not keep up with a full family inside.
• Humidity during storage. A closed-up RV gets damp fast. Crack a roof vent with a cover, run a dehumidifier, and leave cabinets open.
• Tires and batteries. Cover tires when parked, keep them at the pressure on the sidewall, and keep batteries on a maintainer so they are not dead in October.
• Hurricane season. The Atlantic season runs June 1 through November 30. Decide ahead of time where the RV will be stored and whether you plan to drive it out if a storm threatens.

The Gerzeny's service department handles routine work like oil changes, tire rotations and brake checks, plus plumbing, electrical, HVAC and structural repairs, warranty service and preventive maintenance plans. Check current RV service specials before you book. Collision, paint, fiberglass, roof and storm damage go to the RV body shop, which operates only at the Nokomis store, writes estimates at no charge and works with insurance claims on all makes and models. For coverage beyond the factory warranty, see protection plans for your RV.

Financing, trade-ins and consignment in Nokomis

You can start the Nokomis RV finance application online before you visit, which gives the finance office a head start on paperwork. The Gerzeny's team works with a network of lenders and will walk you through options such as GAP coverage and extended service contracts. More detail is on the main RV financing page.

A piece of advice from the finance side of the desk: decide on a total price you are comfortable with, not just a monthly payment. RV loans can run longer than car loans, and a long term lowers the payment while raising the total interest you pay. A larger down payment also keeps you from owing more than the RV is worth in the first few years, which matters if your plans change.

If you already own an RV, the trade-in and consignment page lays out three paths. You can trade toward another unit, accept a cash offer without buying anything, or consign it so Gerzeny's markets it, handles showings and stores it on site while it sells. Submit photos and details online and the dealership aims to return a valuation within 24 hours. Bring maintenance records, both sets of keys and your loan payoff information to the appraisal.

RV buying mistakes we try to talk people out of

After decades of selling RVs on the Gulf Coast, the same handful of regrets come up again and again. Every one of them is avoidable.

• Buying for the trip you take once. Pick the RV for the trips you will take ten times a year. A cross-country dream rig is a burden if you mostly camp an hour from home.
• Trusting dry weight. Load up water, propane and gear and a trailer can gain a thousand pounds or more. Shop by GVWR and your tow rating.
• Skipping the sit test. Lie on the bed, sit on the toilet, cook a pretend breakfast. Floor plans that look great online can feel very different in person.
• Ignoring where it will live. Check HOA rules, driveway length and storage costs in Venice, North Port or wherever you call home before you sign.
• Rushing the walkthrough. Take video during the delivery orientation. You will not remember the water heater bypass valve in three months.
• Stretching the budget for features. A second AC or a residential fridge can be worth it in Florida. A third TV usually is not.
