Showing my RV to prospective buyers
We want to try selling our 2006 Four Winds Class A ourselves, but have some concerns about showing it to prospective buyers. There are plenty of articles about advertising and setting your sales price...

In any private party "Craigslist" type transaction I start gathering information about people from the first point of contact. Type their name, email address and/or phone# into Google to see what comes up. Very quickly you can start to establish if their story adds up or not.
I have no problem asking people for their driver's license and asking a bunch of questions about their "story".
When I'm purchasing things I readily offer this information and my background to sellers to put them at ease. I've been a business owner and licensed through our local contractor's board for 15+ years and have a healthy "footprint". Anyone without any verifiable history I'd be leery of.
In most of the larger scale transactions I've done I just get a gut feeling for people. Once we all check each other out it's like we're old friends. But you have to do the work up front to be sure they are for real.
For buying/selling a class A I might just give the 5-10% on each end and let a dealer/consignment place deal with it.
