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?

I plan to do one of two things with my old rig:
1: Trade it in for next to nothing. When I plan to trade it in, my overall costs are cheaper than a hotel for the length I owned it, and the number of days camped.
2: Haul it to PPL, pay them the $500 to have them detail it, and set the price to NADA low. I would say $5000 for my 2011 TT. Yes, I am selling it for less than half of what I paid for it... but if I amortized the number of nights (320) I've used the rig for, it has been relatively cheap.
I don't care to deal with craigslist cheats or ebay scammers.
As for Camping World, since they pay for this forum, I will always consider them as a source for my next RV, and definitely patronize them. They have some interesting entry level class "B"s and class "C"s which, after a little bit of polish, would be pretty reliable and inexpensive units.
