How to Contact an RV Dealer for a Custom Build: The Ultimate Guide

Share Button

To contact an RV dealer for a custom build, you should reach out to an authorized retailer like Zoomers RV via their website contact form or by calling their specialized sales department. Mentioning your specific floor plan needs and brand preferences—such as Alliance RV or Forest River—allows experts to provide an accurate, no-fee quote tailored to your family’s travel goals.


Why a Custom RV Build is the Smart Choice for Your Family

When you decide to invest in an RV, you aren’t just buying a vehicle; you’re choosing the backdrop for your family’s most cherished memories. Sometimes, the units currently sitting on a lot don’t quite check every box. Maybe you need the extra solar capacity of a “boondocking” package, or perhaps you want a specific interior decor that matches your style.

At Zoomers RV, we believe you shouldn’t have to settle. We’ve grown from a single trailer in Wabash, Indiana, to a multi-state leader with locations in Wabash, IN, Ina, IL, and Lamoni, IA, because we listen to what families actually need. Custom ordering allows you to get the exact features you want without paying for those you don’t.

How to Start the Custom Build Process

The process of “building your own” is more straightforward than most people think. It starts with a conversation and ends with a rig that is uniquely yours.

Step 1: Research the Brands and Floor Plans

Before you contact us, it helps to have a general idea of which “family” of RVs fits your towing capacity and lifestyle. We carry the industry’s most trusted names, including:

  • Alliance RV: Known for their “Customer-Driven” features in the Paradigm and Avenue lines.
  • Forest River: Featuring popular, versatile units like the Rockwood and Cherokee.
  • Jayco: Famous for the Jay Flight, the most popular travel trailer on the market for years.
  • Keystone RV: Offering innovative designs in their luxury fifth wheels and travel trailers.

Step 2: Connect with a Zoomers RV Specialist

Once you have a brand in mind, the best way to move forward is to reach out directly. You can:

  1. Use our Online “Build Your Own” Tool: Visit our website to see available options for your favorite brands.
  2. Call Our Regional Hubs: Speak with a local expert who understands the specific needs of Midwest campers.
  3. Visit in Person: Stop by our Wabash, Ina, or Lamoni locations for a “no-pressure” walk-through of similar models.

Step 3: Compare “Apples to Apples”

One of our core philosophies is encouraging our customers to Compare Apples to Apples. When you get a quote for a custom build from us, it is a transparent, bottom-line price. While other dealers might draw you in with a low base price only to add “prep fees,” “destination charges,” or “document fees” later, Zoomers RV maintains a strict No Extra Fees policy.


Technical Specifications to Consider for Your Build

When you contact us for a custom inquiry, our team will walk you through technical specs that can significantly impact your camping experience.

Luxury and Structural Upgrades

  • Performance Running Gear: Many Alliance RV models offer upgraded axles and G-rated tires that are often optional on other brands.
  • Four-Season Protection: If you plan on camping in the Iowa or Illinois winters, ask about heated tanks and increased R-value insulation packages.

Tech and Power Options

  • Solar Packages: We can facilitate factory-installed solar arrays and lithium battery prep for families who want to go off-grid.
  • Tech Hubs: Specify if you need pre-wiring for Winegard Wi-Fi extenders or additional camera systems for 360-degree towing safety.

You don’t have to live in Indiana to get the lowest prices in the country. We have built our reputation on being “The RV’er’s Friend” across the entire United States.

  • Door-to-Door Service: We offer Nationwide Delivery, bringing your custom-built rig directly to your driveway, no matter where you live.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a custom build cost more than an in-stock unit?

Not necessarily, and often you save money by not paying for unwanted features.

While an in-stock unit might have manufacturer rebates, a custom build ensures you aren’t paying for “dealer-added” accessories you don’t need. At Zoomers RV, we guarantee the lowest prices in the country regardless of whether the unit is on our lot or being built at the factory.

How long does a custom RV build take?

Build times vary by manufacturer but typically range from 8 to 16 weeks.

Factors like parts availability and production schedules for brands like Forest River or Keystone can shift the timeline. When you contact us, we provide the most current lead times provided directly by the factory.

Can I choose any floor plan for a custom order?

Yes, as long as the manufacturer is currently producing that model year.

If a floor plan like the Rockwood Geo Pro or the Alliance Paradigm is in active production, we can order it with your specific options. If a model has been discontinued, our team can help you find the closest “next-gen” equivalent.

Are there hidden fees for delivery?

No. We provide a transparent delivery quote upfront.

Following our “No Extra Fees” policy, your delivery quote is straightforward. We don’t hide costs in the fine print. We want you to be able to compare our final price “Apples to Apples” against any other dealer in the nation.
