Considering Consignment with Camping World, any experiences?
We are looking at selling our 5th wheel and moving to a class A, was thinking of putting with Camping World on consignment, was wondering the good, bad and ugly of doing so. Any stories?

They would be 5 hours north of me, not exactly convenient. Not sure where you got your numbers, but my dealer/friend looked it up and said NADA was 41,300, whse @ 28,500. I was expecting 40,000. Before you ask, he only handles small bumper pull trailers not 5'vers. Said he does not have the customer for a 40' 5. He did however handle the sale of my last to TT's as I moved up.
You have a 4yr old USED 40ft 5ver, pretty small market for such a large rig and the 5th hitch will limit your market even more.
NADA values are worthless since they tend to be over inflated and do not take into account current market conditions.
Your rig is only worth what a BUYER is willing to pay, sorry but that is how it goes with things like RVs.
Realistically, even selling it yourself you are going to be hard pressed to get near the Wholesale value of $28,500 and that is most likely going to take a long time..
Your going to have to price it to sell, not many people have $40K in cash in their back pockets for a used 4 yr old RV TRAILER so they WILL most likely have to take a loan.. I think convincing a bank to loan $40K for something valued closer to $28K is going to be a stretch.
Personally, since you are planning to buy a Class A, perhaps it might be in your best interests to use your 5vr as a trade in..
Yes, it will sting but you will be from under it quickly..
RVs are a depreciating "asset" and buying, selling, trading often WILL cost you dearly for those changes..
Great advice and sadly true. I took my numbers from black book and according to it, high retail on that rig is $38.7K and the low $29K, I split the difference saying $33K. That's what I would expect to put on it and move it. I agree, 40K is pushing it but then again that one buyer may be out there, you never know.
According to black book the retail on that rig @ 2013 was $69K. A savvy buyer will know the selling price in 2013 new should have been in the neighborhood of $52/$53K or less. And in actuality its more like 6 years old as 2013's were produced as early as 2011 and 2019's are already being made by some.
I wish the OP luck but pulling $40 K may be a tough time consuming nut. The way I see it thats 80% of the new price in 2013.
