Memorial Day isn’t just the unofficial start of summer—it’s the moment when Oregon’s RV season goes full throttle. Roads are drying out, campgrounds are filling up, and the open-air weekends you’ve been waiting for are finally here.
At ATRV, we know that timing is everything. If you’ve been thinking about buying or upgrading your RV, May is one of the smartest times of the year to make your move—and here’s why.

Why May Is a Hot Month for RV Buyers
The combination of rising temperatures and holiday energy brings a few distinct advantages for RV shoppers in Portland:
- Peak Inventory: Our lot is fully stocked after spring trade-ins
- Flexible Financing: Lenders are competing for pre-summer buyers
- Ready-for-Summer Units: Everything is prepped for quick departure
- Holiday Sales and Trade-In Incentives: Memorial Day brings real deals
If you wait until late June or July, you’ll be dealing with tighter inventory and more competition for well-priced units.
