Used RVs are a good buy for those who are looking for a recreational vehicle at a discount price. They can get many of the features and accessories that they consider a priority without paying a brand new price. For those who are selling used RVs there will always be a market. There are a few ways that you can sell your RV, but you should know the important guidelines before you approach this task of selling used RVs in order for you to get the best deal on the sale as well.

The most common way that used RVs are sold is through private sellers. They may list in the classified ads in the paper, they can put an ad online, they can sell to a friend or acquaintance, or they can even just put a “for sale” sign in the window. There are advantages to selling used RVs this way. You avoid paying any dealer fees or getting a reduced price by selling to a dealer and you also have complete control over the advertisement and the sale.

For those who choose to sell their used RVs this way, there are some precautions you should take as well as some steps to increase your likelihood of selling. Make sure that you offer your RV for a fair price. You can check the Kelly RV Blue Book or at nadaguides.com to find the fair price for your RV. Once you decide on a price you will want to find a place to list it. You can find any number of RV trader magazines, online RV selling sites and also the classifieds in the paper selling used RVs. Be aware of all the fees and listing guidelines that the classifieds you choose offer. You may even want to list in more than one source.

Once you find a buyer, allow them to drive the RV, or even take it for an overnight outing before they buy-with a refundable deposit of course. You can even offer to have the RV checked out by a mechanic of their choice who is experienced in used RVs. Do not hand over the keys until the title, registration, and all of the paperwork has been filled out and transferred and until you have a valid check or cash in hand. Be aware that some people pass fraudulent money orders, so be cautious.

If you decide to go the dealer route for selling used RVs, you have a couple of options. You can sell it to them and have them sell it, or you can consign it. This means that you will pay them a fee and they will advertise and sell your RV for you and then pay you. The advantage of selling used RVs this way is that you don’t have to deal with buyers, worry about them getting financing, or even advertise. Make sure that you trust the dealer and that you are aware of any additional fees or costs that may be tacked on.
