Local Dealer Consignment 

Local Recreational Vehicle dealers may offer a program to place your vehicle on their lot for sale. If you decide to consign your unit with a local dealer or any consignment lot take time to visit the lot. Learn exactly how your vehicle is being displayed and marketed. Your vehicle may be in direct competition with the "new" and "used" units owned the dealer. Since the dealer will usually make more selling his own inventory, yours may not be sold at all. Locating a dealer that  only sells consignments and has a proven track record is to your benefit. A dealer that handles autos, trucks, boats and recreational vehicles, may be less likely to have the buyers or the knowledge it takes to get the best price for you.

Local Newspaper Advertising

Local newspaper classifieds is a means of advertising familiar to many people.  Whether you are selling a bike or a motor home, many sellers will think of the classified ads in their local newspapers first as opposed to selling online. Results of this kind of advertising can vary greatly. Newspaper ads can be expensive without any guarantee that the unit will sell  Also, bargain hunters use local ads to find vehicles that are being sold far below market price.

For Sale Sign

The easiest and least expensive way to advertise is to find a busy parking lot or roadside, place a "For Sale" sign in the window with your phone number. You may get a serious buyer this way, but you are sure to attract tire kickers who may not even be interested in purchasing a Recreational Vehicle. This could waste a lot of your time and even be dangerous.

Internet Advertising

Internet online advertising reaches thousands of potential buyers throughout the country and you will get some inquiries this way. However, very few of these potential buyers are likely to travel across the country to look at one vehicle, so it may take you much longer to actually sell your vehicle. 

On most of the popular internet sites, we have observed a decrease in the percentage of ads that are being run by individuals. More and more of the ads on popular sites are by dealers advertising units they own. We believe that the problem of getting potential buyers to travel a long way to look at one vehicle and thus the lack of results is the primary reason for this trend.

Knowledgeable appraiser, friendly staff. I did not expect to sell it so fast. Great job !

Able to get to the public better than me trying to sell it on my own. Thank you for selling our motor home at a higher price than the book quoted.

Thanks you for the fast sale of my Cardinal 5th wheel. I knew it was a good bargain but I did not expect it to be sold so fast. Thanks again.
