Resale Diesel or Gas

Thinking of a MH as a financial instrument is a fundamental error IMO. These are a toy and should be bought with mad money. Nobody needs one.

Exactly.

Could not agree more.

Thats the deal. You price it right it will sell but if you are real proud of it price wise plan on having it for awhile.

Higher resale on a diesel is a myth. it's 150k+ more money to buy a new diesel. A clean older Dp can be had for 45k. A gas in the same condition and age can be bought for 20k that's a 25k difference. You won't need a calculator to figure out who lost the most money.

The other point about pricing, from someone who hits the RV for sale web sites every day; price it $100 below a major dollar amount. I.E. if you want to sell your rig for $40,000, make the price $39,900. This will drop it below an upper limit price filter.

many people who might be looking are new to the rV world and cost $$$ is an issue. a cheaper gas MH might have a larger potential market out there.

I would think there's a market for both.......just do look at all the RV's for sale online and on the lots. I've sold 3 motor homes myself.........1 gas, 2 diesels.
Gas I sold in a couple of weeks
1 Diesel I sold in a couple of days
Other diesel I sold in about a month
All boils down to being priced fair........and someone out there wanting you coach.
If you're over priced, you won't sell either a Gas or Diesel rig.
