He connected me with the Regional Manager in my area who connected me with the Business Manager at my local Camping World. They gave me a great deal on my trade-in and I purchased a brand new 2012 Heartland Prowler 5th Wheel, listed at $32K, but I got it for $16K.

Great story! Glad you shared it and congratulations on getting such a good deal.
For used prices I suggest the PPLMotorhomes site. They sell hundreds of RVs on consignment and if you look around their site, there's a listing of recent sales and prices. Since these are real world prices I think they give you a good idea of what to ask for a camper.
When I sold a travel trailer through them I just trusted the salesperson to tell me what it would sell for. Three weeks later it was sold. Then, when I bought our Hitchhiker I got it through them. I think we got a terrific deal.
