Burlmart, two years ago we sold our Roadtrek. It was super clean and I just didn't want to go through the Craigs List hassle. Security with Craigs List has proven to a problem too many times. I know a lot of folks on these forums (of which you and I have been long term members) swear by Craigs and have had a great experience with them. In any event, we took our Roadtrek down to Houston and put it on consignment with PPL. It was sold in less than four days. My experience with them was top drawer.

Paul, we spoke w/ PPL and were seriously considering the 6 hr. run (4.5 at google 70 mph speed). w/ 1 driver, we'd need to spend nite on their lot and rent an SUV to get dogs and us home. they figured a fairly quick sale between $15-18k, or $9k up front. a driver from houston costs $1k.
kinda disappointing for all the care it's had. but those are real numbers.
this is where the final decision to continue using MH comes in. i would love for one of our animal shelters to have a need for such a vehicle, but that's not the case. so, no RV, or r-pod v MH. our light use favors a TT and leaving aging MH potential upkeep issues behind.
if it were me driving, and if our 4runner could easily tow an rpod w/o a WDH on level terrain at 55 mph, i'd go for the change. OTOH, we took a long time in researching to pick our trail lite, and it has proven to be the optimal size and floorplan for us.
