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?

Look on RVT and RVTrader for your rig. Average out the asking prices after throwing out the high and the low, knock off 20 percent and put it on Craigslist in February. Lots of pictures. Show your kids or grandkids (or borrow some cute ones from the neighbors) running around the outside.
Good advice but I can only find one of the model and year over at RV trader, and thats a private seller with his asking price reduced to $32K. From what I can tell comparable sized different floorplans are being listed by some dealers in the mid 30's, thats listing which usually has some float.
Smaller scale but we had a purchased new Keystone 2013 Hybrid we paid $18 K for in 2012. I sold it privately in 2015 after 3 seasons of use.
Paid 18K in real numbers, Black book was $15.4K high and $11K low in 15. Highest trade offered, and I was playing with multiple dealers all over the place, was $9K. I sold it after listing it on Ebay in 2 days for $12K and was glad to get it. I had it on both RV trader and RVT for a month, cost $150 each, never got a hit. We had it on Craigslist also, nothing but low ballers, tire kickers, and scammers.
I was so happy I delivered it halfway to the buyer who was from Little Rock, met him in Lexington KY. I would probably still be sitting on it today if I would have tried for the high number. Unfortunately in a lot of cases they are not worth what many think they are.
