Why don't you put it in an ad on Craigslist in Charlotte and some of the cities in North Carolina. Yes, it's going to be a pain in the rear to weed out SPAMMERS, but it will also get you into the market you are wanting to hit.
The last two RVs we have sold have been to people that have driven 6-7 hours to get here. Our last RV, I talked to him about 5-6 times, told him we would have to have cash. We took the RV to a local campground and he and his family met us there. They brought sleeping bags to sleep in. We let them stay in the RV overnight so they did not have to get a hotel room and could "try it out" for comfort. We parked our truck under the hitch so it could not be moved. Everything went well, they met us at a local bank and money exchanged hands, the title was signed over to him and notarized by a bank employee, I had typed out a Bill of Sale, we went back to the campground and moved our truck and they were on their way.
I'm not sure if this would work for you, but it sure worked for us. I did check him out before we met him and his family. I called the local Sheriff's Office where he was from, I googled him, and did some other background information. He had me take pictures of different things on the RV so he was sure we had it and were not scamming him.
Just use your head and if anything doesn't feel right, call it off.
