We sold our Majestic 27G 2010 last year as we were going to stop RVing in the US. We live in Europe. Our problem was wanting to use it up to the last day before flying and having no US home to sell it from (just an Rv mail address). So we came to a consignment deal with Camping World Oregon and they sold it within 2 months. Part of the deal was that at the end of 3 months they would give us a trade price (very low if not sold) We were concerned but it worked out. The annoying thing however was they at first put their advert up with wrong information on the vehicle and never added on the advert all the extras that we had added for a better vehicle.Never a reply from them on our complaints. We just saw the advert changed online.
If using a dealer make sure you are sat beside him when he looks up the real trade price for what it is worth and what the trade price he should be able to sell it at to the public! In our case they had someone there from another dealership ready to take it straight away off their hands should be go for the low guaranteed price! We were not impressed with the Camping World communication during the process, but if you live in the US you would be able to chase them up better. The first thing we knew that it was sold was when a US cheque turned up in the post in Europe, instead of them putting the money into our US bank account.
With the cost of flights from Europe, storage and insurance it was the best way for us to go, but if we had lived in the US we would have tried to sell privatly at a realistiic price i.e. a good bargain for someone compared to dealers prices.
Personally it is a great shame you can not advertise private vehicle here on a forum ... hey who owns Camping World though!
At the end we had a wonderful time in the US traveling for up to 3 months at a time and have now written a book for other Europeans or anyone who does not live there on how to do it.
