Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.
I had also looked on the NADA site and the price there says $12K to $15K. One of the local dealers I spoke to who does consignment also said that is what he would ask for it (depending on condition once he saw it). On the plus side for consignment, it gets the 5er off the RV parks lot quickly which saves the MIL space rental fees or a storage fee.
My MIL will be talking to the park people this week to see what they allow or would support in regards to posting a for sale sign on it and on their bulletin board.
I certainly want to get as much as we can for the rig so she can have that money for future needs. However, my experience with selling cars & trucks as a private sale is you get a lot of looky Lous' and of course there is always the risk of somebody trying to beat the system with bad checks/credit. Maybe selling RV's is a bit different (I've sold a few of our travel trailers in the past and that went moderately well).
