The two biggest online places are rvtrader.com and rvt.com - when shopping I regularly check out both.
CL can work but it seems like there are a lot more tire kickers and scams.
Having bought and sold several RVs the way to make them move is to price it right. With something high end and new like you have I'd also be sure to have every piece of paperwork in order. Any service, warranty repairs, etc, etc. Things like that really help people feel better.
Every time I buy or sell something big like an auto or RV I feel like I have to turn into a detective to feel the people out. You can tell right away if their story adds up or not. Google phone numbers and email addresses to see if what they are telling you is true. If you really listen to people you can pick up on small things and check them out later. Do they talk about coaching their kids' soccer team and you Google their email address and find them on a fundraiser list for a soccer team? I've asked for people's driver's license and am happy to provide mine. Background checks are VERY cheap once you have someone's license. Thankfully, in today's electronic world it's hard for dirt bags to cover their tracks.
Consignment can work but you have to watch out for them sometimes too. I'd only go with one of the large places like the ones mentioned down in Texas. There was a problem with a consignment shop in my area (Oregon) a while back. I'm not sure how it all shook out but at a minimum it was a huge costly headache for some folks when the place went under.
