Tips For How to Price your Used RV For Sale By Owner:When looking to sell your used RV for sale by owner the best place to start is finding a good asking price. Two free RV pricing guides are the Nada guide and the Kelley Blue book. Listing it for the recommended price may be a good idea at first to test the market. Usually, ones priced below average will sell faster. The average market price could more or less but it varies by area. It may be worth it to do some research on comparable RVs in your area and find out what they are asking for comparable RVs in local newspapers and magazines.
How to find out the approximate market value of your RV using the NADA 1) Visit NADA Guides dot com. (Link available on Recommended links page) 2) Click on Recreational Vehicles, then click on the type of vehicle you wish to sell. (i.e. Camper, Motor home, Trailer, 5th wheel, Travel Trailer). 3) Choose the manufacturer and the year manufactured. 4) Next pick the model number with the length and width. (This model number, in most cases can be found on a plate or sticker near the door. It should also be on the papers you received when you bought it.) 5) This will take you to a page with upgrades.

Why is using a dealership to sell your RV not a good idea Typical selling commissions on homes are 4-6%, but with RVs the commissions dealers make are often as high as 30-50%.
