You may experience a little bit more difficulty finding small travel trailers for sale. This is because they are not that expensive buy in the first place and a lot of people will hold onto them once they have paid them off rather than sell them. Also people don’t have much need to sell them because they can easily store them in their garage rather than having to pay to store them in a storage facility. If you are having a hard time finding small travel trailers for sale, here are several good places you can look for them:
Online- One place where I would look for small travel trailers is online. I definitely would try using Craigslist. Because they are a free classified section, a lot of people use them for selling inexpensive items. This would be a good place to start looking for small cheap travel trailers for sale.
Cheap Classifieds- Another place you could try looking is in the “cheap classifieds”. The newspaper is an expensive classified listing, but there are also other places to sell that only cost six or seven dollars to put an ad in. These can be called the thrifty nickel, or the American classifieds, or a myriad of other names. This is just a free classified paper that you can pick up at any grocery store.
Referrals- Also, I think it is a good idea to talk to relatives, friends, and family members. It may be possible for you to get a really good deal on one, simply by buying it from a family member. Small children are not a high priority to sell. People may hold on to them for years just waiting for someone to ask if they can buy it. You will be doing them a favor when you buy their travel trailer.
Advertise You Interest- The last thing you can do to help you find a small travel trailer is put an ad in the newspaper yourself or put an ad on Craigslist. For example, your ad could say “Looking for a travel trailer, will pay cash, must be under $1000.” you’ll be surprised at how effectively this works in getting people to call you. The important thing to keep in consideration is that most of the travel trailers that are for sale aren’t listed. By putting a and out looking for them, you are going to get calls from people who really want to sell, but just haven’t gotten around to it sooner.
