Why Shreveport Residents Choose RV Depot

Shreveport sits about 234 miles from our Cleburne lot, right at three and a half hours by way of Interstate 20. That is a planned trip rather than an errand, so most people coming over from Shreveport call ahead and have their list ready before they get here.

With about 176,000 residents and an economy built on healthcare, petroleum and natural gas, manufacturing and the trades, Shreveport is full of working families who earn a steady paycheck and still get turned down by traditional lenders. That is exactly who we built this dealership for.

Here is the squeeze in Shreveport. Median rent runs about $987 a month, close to $11,850 a year, against a median household income near $48,699. That is right at a quarter of gross pay going to a landlord before a single other bill is paid.

Buying out of it is steeper than the sticker makes it look. The typical Shreveport home runs about $178,900, which is cheap by national standards and still better than three and a half times what a median household here earns in a year. Close to half of Shreveport households rent.

The reason people make the drive is simple. Rent in Caddo Parish keeps climbing and the math stopped working a while ago. An RV gives a family a place of their own with a monthly payment that often lands at or below what a local apartment costs, and it belongs to you at the end.

We finance in house, so we make the decision ourselves rather than mailing your file off and waiting. A credit report is where the conversation starts here, not where it ends.

Living in Shreveport, Louisiana: The City a Riverboat Captain Unblocked

Shreveport is the Caddo Parish seat and the commercial hub of the Ark-La-Tex, sitting on the Red River in the northwest corner of Louisiana. Roughly 176,000 people live here, which makes it one of the largest cities in the state. It exists because somebody cleared a hundred and sixty five miles of logjam out of a river.

The Great Raft

The Red River used to be blocked by the Great Raft, a natural debris jam running about 165 miles. Henry Miller Shreve cleared it in 1835 and opened the river to navigation, and the town went up on land bought from the Caddo confederacy.

Cotton and river shipping drove the early growth. During the Civil War Shreveport served as the Confederate state capital and the headquarters for Confederate forces west of the Mississippi.

Rails, Then Oil

The railroads arrived by 1900 and silt gradually cut into river commerce, which could have ended the story. Then oil was discovered in 1906 and the city boomed instead.

That boom set the shape of the place. Petroleum, natural gas, chemicals, iron and steel, cotton and lumber have been the products of this city ever since, and the Red River was improved in the 1970s to let barge traffic run up from the Gulf again.

What It Is Today

Shreveport is the commercial and industrial center for a three state corner, which is a different job than being a big city in one state. Healthcare is a large share of the payroll, and Barksdale Air Force Base sits about three miles southeast across the river.

The Red River runs through the middle of it, the riverfront has been rebuilt, and there is more going on here on a weekend than in most cities this size.

Long Term RV Parks Near Shreveport, Louisiana

Owning the RV is one half of the plan. Having a spot to park it is the other half, so here are long term and monthly friendly parks in the Shreveport area that were open and taking residents when this page was last reviewed. Rates, availability and age restrictions change constantly, so call ahead and confirm monthly pricing, hookups, rig length limits and whether they allow the year the unit was built.

Financing Built for Hardworking Families

Most dealerships send your application to an outside bank and wait. We do not. RV Depot finances in house, which means we look at your whole situation instead of one number on a report. Steady income, a workable down payment and a plan you can live with carry real weight here. If you have been denied somewhere else, that denial does not follow you through our door.

• In house financing with all credit situations welcome, including first time buyers with no credit history
• Approval decisions made by our own team, not an out of state lender
• Flexible down payment options, and we will tell you honestly what yours needs to be
• Fast answers, usually the same day you apply
• Payment structures built around a real budget instead of a best case scenario
• A path forward for buyers coming off a repossession, a bankruptcy or a rough couple of years

You can start your application online before you drive over, which saves you time once you are here. Paperwork is finished in person at the dealership, so plan on spending at least one day on the lot. That same day you get a personal walkthrough of your RV with a technician who shows you everything working before you head home.

400+ Quality Used RVs Under One Roof

Twenty acres, more than 400 units, and one of the largest pre owned RV inventories in Texas. That size is the whole point. You are not looking at three trailers and hoping one fits. You can stand in a dozen floorplans in an hour, compare a bunkhouse against a rear living layout, see what a fifth wheel feels like next to a travel trailer, and figure out what actually suits your family before you sign anything.

Once a unit is yours it goes through our shop before your pickup day, where the mechanical side gets checked over so the things that are not cosmetic are working. We would rather sell you the right unit once than the wrong unit today, especially when you are buying a place to live rather than a weekend toy.

Browse our current inventory or call and tell us your budget, your tow vehicle and how many people need to sleep in it. We will narrow 400 units down to the handful worth your drive from Shreveport.
