Price Guides
Please note the following about motor home blue books as compared to automobile guides:
- Price guide values for automobiles are determined by analyzing a vast amount of actual used car sales data.
- Price guide values for used motorhomes are generally determined by discounting the original manufacturers suggested retail price by a percentage and therefore, are not accurate. If you are not careful, many options will be double counted because they are already included in the original manufacturers suggested retail. PPL does not recommend relying on book values.
This means price guides may not even be close to current market value. Also, many options are included in the original manufacturers suggested retail price so it is difficult to know which, if any, options should be added.
Kelley Price Guides not available online. However, you may purchase these guides from PPL (Please be aware that these guides are likely to be inaccurate). The prices below are for a single recent issue and not for an annual subscription.
