Power Words That Move RV Buyers To Call You …
At RVT.com, we’re passionate about giving you strategies to craft your RV ads so they’re both eye-catching and also hyper effective at generating quality leads.
Stand-out ads are “put together” with the right choice of words. It’s what can make an RV buyer “chomp at the bit” to contact you.
The Words You Choose Make All the Difference!
For more leads, write some color into your listings!
Word selection is the difference between someone simply learning the facts about your RV and someone who envisions himself perched in the captain’s chair as he rolls through the Blue Ridge Mountains, seeking solace from the city he’s left behind!
Descriptive language in your RV listings – does not – only – let your buyer know the dining space easily seats 6. It can speak to a buyer’s desire to be comfortable in their new home away from home.
Well-chosen words will paint a picture on the canvas of the reader’s mind.
Do this:
If your working hours are spent on an RV lot, then you are already attuned to many aspects of what customers want out of their RV living. Start there.
Or, maybe you yourself are an avid RVer. What moves YOU about the RV lifestyle? Jot down some of the emotions you feel when you think about hitting the road, on a new adventure as you navigate your way across this great land. Freedom? Joy? Excitement?
If You Need a Little Help …
Here are some phrases and wordings that might …
- Get those creative juices flowing.
- Give you a “leg up” into writing compelling RV ads that really make your phone ring.
Use This As Your Mini “Cheat Sheet!”
Consider using some of the phrases below as you develop your next batch of RV ads. (Yes, cutting & pasting from here is allowed!)

The truth is we are RV dealers not writers and we must work hard at creating good ADs….and we must do it over and over—that being said we appreciate anything that will make us more effective…Thanks for your assistance…

I hear you, Dan! I certainly don’t envy the volume of ads a dealer has to create! That’s exactly why we pulled together the new “RV Classified Ads Hack.” We’ll be emailing it out to dealers who request it after the Show in Vegas.
You’ll probably get a lot of use out of it. “The Hack” is full of scores and scores of different compelling words and RV lifestyle phrases plus some great calls-to-action as well.
You can use it as a springboard for creativity when you cut & paste (or massage and tinker with) the ideas allowing you to quickly build more effective ads. Hopefully it will make it a little easier to build ads that inspire families to – ahem – quit shopping and pick up the phone and give you a call!
I’ll add you to the list and make sure you receive this handy digital file after Vegas!
Thanks again Dave,
Chris

I really enjoyed this article. I am a Sales Professional for the largest retailer of RVs in the US. Marketing and Advertising, on a large scale, is provided by our Marketing Dept and Business Development Center. In this article, you mention the “RV Classified Ads Hack”. How would I obtain a copy of “The Hack”? On an individual level, I plan to implement some of these Phrases in my E-blasts and follow up letters/emails to my customer base. I am excited to see what happens! I will let you know how it works.
Thanks,

Hi Jerry:
Yes, I think you could do really well “cutting and pasting” some of the phrases and calls-to-action directly into your e-blasts. Can’t wait to watch and hear how it works for you! 😉
I will email you RVT.com’s RV Classified Ads HACK right away in a WORD document so it is easy for you to “borrow” and leverage any of the RV lifestyle wording and CTA tactics you like.
Thanks and please keep me posted!

This sort of content is what makes RVT stand out from RV ad sites. Could you please send me a copy of this in a word document so I can use it when making up ad’s.
March 12th, 2014 at 10:14 am
Scott: Sure will.
In my experience, your lead volumes will increase when you sprinkle RV lifestyle language in amongst the features of each RV. Additionally, calls-to-action truly DO drive those actions dealers need: more walk-ins, more phone-ins and more Internet leads.
Hope you enjoy the RV Classified Ads HACK! Thanks for requesting it. Always glad to help a dealer build better listings, so they generate more leads and sell more RVs!

Hi Maria:
I have sent you a copy of the RV Classified Ads Hack.
Research shows that serious buyers read virtually every word in the Description of a Classified Listing, so your Description and your wordings are quite important.
The way you word your Listing can mean the difference between a quick and profitable sale and a slower, less effective process.
Potentially thousands of buyers are going to open up your Listing, look at the photos of your RV and read through how you’ve described it. Will yours be a Listing that compels more buyers (as opposed to less buyers) to get in touch with you?
All the best making good use out of the RV Classified Ads Hack!
Chris
