Time so sell.........

well it has come to that time..... After 10+ years of service and family fun- We have to sell the ol' 5th wheel.

Due to a divorce -we also have to sell the camper. I tried Craigs List and some other sites -but very few hits- The more I think about it- the more I don't wanna deal with the public with all that goes with selling a unit (I had one guy come by and has never towed anything ever)-

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with selling back to a dealer on consignment?
I realize it may be less money, but it cuts out the selling privately hassle. Camping World seems to offer it- Anyone have any feedback?

no- I did not refuse to sell it to anyone..... He just had a lot of questions and wanted a LOT of guidance. I just had this feeling - this guy would be calling me (knowing my contact info)

So did you refuse to sell it to the guy with no towing experience? I have never had trouble selling a unit. I usually use Craigslist and Facebook to list mine. I will be listing mine for sale today, who knows this one may take months to sell.

:) Hi, a few decades back, I never had any experience with towing either. But I did have experience with Divorce. :R

We sold my Dads motorhome through Camping World consignment. Took about 3 weeks. They have good exposure but we definitely felt like they were on the buying parties side when it came to negotiations. But it did sell.
