I just sold my 2005 Phaeton myself. Years ago I sold my 2000 Discovery in one day, this time didnt go so well. My advice is everything must work as it was intended. People kept making appointments to see my coach and almost all of them gave me the sense they wanted to be looking at a new one, but were in the price range of mine. Also I saw someone else mention to look at other listings, this is a good idea as you will see some people will take photos of their coach with all kinds of clutter on the counter tops or elsewhere which gives potential buyers the sense you do not take care of it. When I took the photos of my outside I removed everything from the storage bays and cleaned them well, then took the photos in good light. We did the same for the inside but moved everything from the front to the back and took the photos of the front, then did the same for the back half. List all the improvements you have done and the date you did them. Another thing I did that I got a lot of positive comments on was I divided the mileage by how old the coach was to shown my average yearly miles, do this with the genset as well. If the tires are more than 4 years old I would consider replacing them, you may be able to get the cost back but even if you dont it will greatly help your efforts. Have maintenance records handy when showing. If you are not living in it while trying to sell it, then I would remove everything from the cabinets. The first thing people do when they get inside is open all the cabinets as they dream of ways to overload it.
Sorry if I rambled I wrote stuff as I thought of it from my experience which just happened last week.
