Sale By Owner or Trade-In? Value?
We have decided to downsize from 36ft Pace Arrow to smaller Coach. Went to Dealer yesterday and the amount they were willing to give us was extremely low. They also mentioned Fleetwood is no longer ...

This is a tough one.
It is going to depend a LOT on the area you are in.
In Florida, for example, there is a GLUT of new and used units and prices are WAY down......in general.
I've heard that is not the case "up north" in some areas.
I suggest that you shop around in your area; both physically and online searches. When you determine what the common asking price for a similar unit IS, retail, then you can better figure what you can expect the value is for a private sale or trade.
And you mentioned detailing and cleaning.
That is on YOU. A consignment shop is not going to do anything to it unless you pay them. And a unit that LOOKS bad might be next to impossible to sell. I certainly quickly bypassed several that looked ratty on the outside when I was shopping.
