MOTORHOME sales questions.

We are getting ready to put our motorhome on the market. Interested in what people suggest for determining sales price? Also, does anyone know if you can get a copy of the original build sheet/sales sheet from the manufacturer. Thanks for any help.

  • Yes, as a previous poster mentioned, when you do list it, take very good pictures.....lots of them.....with lots of light (you don't want someone to think your RV is 'dark' inside).

    As for Craigslist, it may be a good start for your research, although RVTrader.com will be better. Bear in mind the prices you see are 'asking' prices, not selling prices. Too bad the publications don't list what units actually sold for, and not just what sellers are asking.
  • We used NADA to get an idea We actually listed in in RV Trader. Then got calls from several dealers who were looking to add to the used fleet. Of course low balled. We ended up actually selling it locally on www.Nextdoor.com, a neighborhood app that our city uses to connect neighbors.
  • I've sold 2 MH's on Craiglist fairly quickly. The trick is to price them to sell. I will search for ads for the exact same year make and model of my coach and see what they are selling for. From there you need to know what you will accept. Priced too high and it will sit. Clean it up nice, and take good pictures. Nothing bothers me more looking at RV ads where the owner has towels, dirty clothes, food and dishes etc sitting around. It looks un-kept and gives me the impression they don't care - and I'm probably right.
