Canadian Travel Trailer Sale Events: A CampMart Buyer’s Guide
Learn how to compare travel trailer promotions, prepare for a sale event and find the right towable RV for your next Canadian camping adventure.
Understanding Canadian Travel Trailer Sale Events
Travel trailer promotions can take place throughout the year. Available inventory, discounts and financing programs vary by location, trailer and promotion. Instead of waiting for one specific date, monitor current inventory and compare offers when you are ready to purchase.
Seasonal Travel Trailer Promotions
Dealerships may offer seasonal promotions during the spring, summer, fall or year-end periods. These events can feature select in-stock models, previous model-year inventory or limited-time manufacturer incentives. Promotional availability varies. Review the advertised details for the specific travel trailer and ask the CampMart team about applicable dates, conditions and inventory.
Dealership Open Houses and Sales Events
Dealership events provide an opportunity to walk through several trailers, compare floorplans and speak with RV specialists in person. Depending on the event, shoppers may be able to explore new arrivals, pre-owned units, Family bunkhouses, lightweight models and extended-stay layouts in one visit.
RV Shows and Regional Events
RV shows can help shoppers compare different trailer sizes, layouts and equipment. Event schedules, participating dealerships and available promotions change each year, so confirm current information through the event organizer before travelling. After visiting a show, compare the units you liked with current CampMart inventory, tow-vehicle requirements and available dealership support.
Clearance and Previous Model-Year Opportunities
Clearance promotions may include select trailers from a previous model year or units a dealership is preparing to move from current inventory. A previous model-year trailer can still offer the floorplan, features and comfort your family needs. Compare the unit’s equipment, condition, warranty coverage and current advertised price before making a decision.
How to Prepare Before a Travel Trailer Sale
Preparation can make it easier to compare trailers and recognize which offer provides the right value for your needs.
Set a Practical Purchase Budget
Your budget should leave room for the items needed to safely tow and use the trailer, such as a compatible hitch setup, brake controller where required, freshwater hose, wheel chocks and electrical accessories.
Review Your Tow Vehicle’s Ratings
Before comparing trailers, review your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity, payload rating, hitch rating and Gross Combined Weight Rating. Compare these limits with the trailer’s expected loaded weight and hitch weight. Passengers, cargo and accessories inside the tow vehicle also use part of its available payload. CampMart can help explain trailer specifications, but the vehicle owner is responsible for confirming that the final combination meets the vehicle, trailer and hitch manufacturers’ requirements.
Decide Which Floorplan Fits Your Camping Style
Think about how many people will regularly travel with you and how much time your group will spend inside the trailer.
- Family bunkhouses: Provide dedicated sleeping spaces for children or guests.
- Couples’ coaches: Prioritize comfortable living and sleeping areas for two travellers.
- Lightweight trailers: May work with properly equipped SUVs or light-duty trucks, depending on the vehicle and trailer ratings.
- Extended-stay layouts: Offer larger living areas, residential-style features and additional storage.
Create a Feature Checklist
Write down the features that matter most before visiting a sale event. This can help you compare trailers based on practical needs instead of appearance alone. Consider sleeping capacity, refrigerator size, kitchen storage, bathroom access, exterior compartments, holding-tank capacity, slide-outs and campsite setup.
Compare CampMart Travel Trailer Brands
CampMart carries travel trailers from brands such as Grand River, Starcraft, Deer Ridge, Valley Ridge, Avenir and Comfortline. These brands provide options for a range of Canadian camping styles, including compact couples’ trips, family bunkhouse adventures and comfortable extended stays.
Grand River
Grand River offers practical layouts for families, couples and extended-stay campers. Available models may include lightweight bunkhouses, couples’ coaches and larger destination-style floorplans.

Starcraft travel trailers include floorplans for different family sizes and camping needs, with options that may feature bunks, slide-outs, indoor kitchens and exterior campsite conveniences.

Avenir models provide compact and lightweight options for campers who value easier manoeuvrability and a manageable trailer size.
Comfortline
Comfortline offers spacious layouts designed for customers who prioritize interior room and extended-stay comfort. Features and availability vary by model. Compare the specifications of the individual trailer before choosing a brand or floorplan.
Multi-Season Travel Trailers for Extended-Season Camping
Some travel trailers offer multi-season features that may support extended-season camping during cooler spring and fall conditions. Depending on the model, available features may include upgraded insulation, an enclosed underbelly, holding-tank protection and an appropriately sized furnace. Multi-season equipment does not automatically make a trailer suitable for every temperature or weather condition. Confirm the specific model’s capabilities and follow the manufacturer’s instructions whenever freezing temperatures are possible.
RV Financing During a Travel Trailer Sale
CampMart works with Canadian lenders to help eligible customers explore available RV financing options.
Review the Complete Financing Terms
Financing rates, terms, down-payment requirements and approvals vary by applicant, lender, trailer and amount financed. Before accepting an agreement, review the amount financed, interest rate, term, payment schedule and total borrowing.
Payment Options for Qualified Applicants
Depending on the lender and application, available schedules may include monthly, bi-weekly or weekly payments. Certain lender programs may also offer no-down-payment options for qualified applicants.
Apply Before Visiting a Sale Event
Starting a financing application before visiting the dealership may help you better understand the options available based on your application.
Trade-In Options for Your Current RV
Customers looking to upgrade can ask CampMart about trade-in appraisal options for eligible RVs. A trade-in may help offset part of the purchase price of a new or pre-owned travel trailer. Appraised value will depend on the unit’s age, condition, features and current market demand. Bring accurate information about your current RV, including the year, make, model, condition, equipment and any available service records.
CampMart Pricing and Value
CampMart offers current advertised pricing and promotions on select new and pre-owned towable RVs. Eligible new RVs may be supported by CampMart’s best-price guarantee. Ask the CampMart team for current program details, eligible models and applicable conditions. Value also includes finding a trailer that fits your tow vehicle and camping plans, along with access to financing, parts and professional towable RV service.
Travel Trailer Service and Ownership Support
Regular towable RV maintenance can help identify worn components, seal concerns, water intrusion and equipment issues before they interrupt a camping trip. CampMart service technicians can assist with inspections, maintenance, repairs, winterization and de-winterization at participating locations. Service availability varies by location, trailer and required work. Contact CampMart before booking to confirm the services available for your unit.
