NADA is NOT accurate at all. The problem is, NADA asks for options and equipment and then you ADD those prices to the RV. The RV price guides already take into account almost all those options as they were usually standard or on all models. You will be lucky to get over 100k for your RV. The actual price range is 85k to 95k (retail) for your clean RV. Doug
Bingo! If you couldn't buy your RV without 2 AC units, then its not an option. If you couldn't buy it without an awning, then the awning is not an option. Both would be included in the base price.
Now, if your RV came standard with a 8 cu ft 2 door refrigerator and you had it upgraded to a 10 cu ft 4 door refrigerator, then THAT would be an option. But, by and large, most of the items that people check on NADA as "options" are not options. They came on the unit standard and should not be checked.
I purchased my Wanderlodge back in the spring and I looked a lot of other motorhomes (all Wanderlodge) and it was amazing how many would try to inflate the value by claiming that a 2 door base level refrigerator was an option (just as one example).
