What are the best ways to sell a used 5th wheel?
RVTrader is the 600 lb gorilla as far as traffic goes. IMO, the site is dated as far as searches go and gives a lot of false hits when searching for =specific= models. Listing times are limited and, if you're not lucky (like me) and your listing goes on for > 1 year, you have to re-list for a new fee. Attitude of CS leaves a lot to be desired, too.
RVT.com, however, is =very= friendly and has a "run 'til it sells" policy. Almost NO false positives when doing specific searches, in my experience. Unfortunately, traffic there is about 1/10 of Trader's.
Craigslist is also a good option, but it's very caveat emptor for both buyers and sellers. While CL is meant to be a local "classified" listing, there are a couple web sites that can search CL nationwide (also Canada and Mexico). The one I favor is called Searchtempest.com. There's a learning curve for it, but the search functions are pretty straight forward and you can tailor your results using "-xyz" or "+xyy" strings to weed out specific things or add specific things. There are other, newer, options, too, like Offerup and some others I've heard of, but can't remember off the top of my head.
Parking it on a corner with a sign on it can work, as is a consignment to a dealer.
