Used RVs Temple TX: 400+ Affordable RVs and Trailers

If you are searching for used RVs Temple TX, travel trailers for sale near Temple, fifth wheels, bunkhouse floorplans or a toy hauler you can actually live in, you can walk the whole lot in one afternoon and compare them side by side. Everything is in one place, the prices are on the units, and our in house financing means your credit history is the start of the conversation instead of the end of it.

Why Temple Residents Choose RV Depot

Temple sits about 111 miles from our Cleburne lot, right at an hour and three quarters by way of Interstate 35, which makes a Saturday trip easy to pull off and still be home for dinner.

With about 98,000 residents and an economy built on healthcare, manufacturing, distribution and the railroad, Temple 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 Temple. Median rent runs about $1,231 a month, close to $14,800 a year, against a median household income near $68,204. That is more than a fifth of gross pay going out the door before a single other bill is covered.

Buying out of it is the harder part. The typical Temple home runs about $239,000, right at three and a half times what a median household here earns in a year, and close to half of Temple households rent rather than own.

The reason people make the drive is simple. Rent in Bell County 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 Temple, Texas: A Railroad Town That Became a Hospital Town

Temple sits in Bell County on Interstate 35, about sixty five miles north of Austin. Roughly 98,000 people live here. It started as a railroad camp and turned into one of the biggest medical centers between Dallas and Austin, which is an unusual path for a Texas town of this size.

The Santa Fe Built It

In 1880 a man named Jonathan E. Moore sold 187 acres to the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe for a construction camp. The railroad named the place after its chief engineer, Bernard Moore Temple, and the town incorporated in 1882.

The Santa Fe made Temple a division point and put its shops here, which brought several hundred families at once. By 1884 there were about 3,000 people, with churches, banks, newspapers and a waterworks already in place.

Then the Hospitals Came

The railroad built a hospital in 1891. King’s Daughters followed in 1897, Scott and White in 1904, and the Veterans Administration opened one here in 1942. That stack of institutions turned a rail town into a regional medical center.

Baylor Scott and White Health is now the largest employer in the area by a wide margin, and the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System sits right alongside it. A lot of Temple works in or around a hospital.

And It Still Makes Things

Temple is the world headquarters for both McLane Company, one of the largest food service distributors in the country, and Wilsonart International, which makes surfacing material. H-E-B runs a large operation here as well.

That mix of hospitals, distribution and manufacturing is steadier than most Central Texas towns get. For time off, Belton Lake and Stillhouse Hollow Lake are both a few minutes west, and the old downtown around the depot has been filling back in.

Long Term RV Parks Near Temple, TX

Having a spot to park it is the other half, so here are long term and monthly friendly parks in the Temple 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 Temple.
