Tips to help sell our unit

Better to keep it in a clean secure area where it is easy for you to show it to buyers. Priced right with good pictures on Craigslist works for most people. Be sure it is clean inside and out with all your personal items removed. If you can, have power to the unit so the buyer can see that everything works.

X2 - being able to demonstrate the systems was very beneficial when I sold my previous TT. I also had a step ladder available so they could check the roof. Had the AC cranking prior to prospective buyers arrival, and had the fridge on and water hooked up and heating. Sold it to the first guy that emailed my CL ad - for my asking price.

Thanks guys All your responses gave me ideas

Paid 16k last year it was used, an is showroom nice
Sportsman 28 ft one slide, we both liked the open floor plan
Only need one 4 times a year. So a nice 10 year old
model will satisfy our needs.
Slow the depreciation blood flow!

Clean title so negotiable

Put it on Ebay....but don't sell it through Ebay.

I listed a 2013 in 2015 on Craigslist, RVtrader, and RVT. The commerical sites cost me $75 each without a hit and CL was nothing but tirekickers and lowballers. Two days on Ebay and had a buyer in Arkansas. (Were in PA) Use ebay as an advertising tool.

How do u put it on eBay an not list it?

Going to sell our 2016 Camper. Wondering what tips some of you like to use, to generate interest.
I’ll park it on high volume traffic spot for my area, near entrance to a popular state park
Camp Ground.
Perspective shoppers can do a walk around but will have to call a cell to make other arrangements.

(I’ll also use some on line social media)
It will be detailed

Be more specific with your description without being too wordy. Note any significant additions/alterations you've made to the unit that are not standard equipment. (solar panels, batteries, special racks, hitches, paint, awnings, etc.) Post the Year, Make, Model Number, and the size/length. I would NOT leave the unit unattended in a non secure location, especially at night, unless it is already a junkpile. State any deficiencies/damage in the ad. A few good photos (like 4/5) showing the outside/inside and any damage are sufficient. Send more to interested parties if/when they contact you and ask for them.

If you can, find a link showing your floor plan, post it in your ad. Study the floor plan yourself and if any callers ask questions about features that are delineated in the plan, refer them to it rather than answering the questions over the phone or by email. This will weed out flakes and lookieloos and save you time. It will make you sound more professional which discourages scammers.

Post your price in the ad, be clear about your terms, (cash, wire transfer, trade, etc.) and note the units approximate location on the planet. Show the unit by appointment only and do not reveal the location until you have a serious buyer with an appointment and money. Ask the possible buyer their name/phone number in advance and confirm it with them if/when they arrive to see the unit.

Do the above and if your price/timing/location is right, chances are you'll sell the unit quickly with minimal rif raf.

You just advertised it on here.

My thought also, a creative way to get around the forum rules.

Simple......you do list it. You just don't sell it through ebay. When someone is interested they most likely will send you messages / questions through the Ebay messaging. You then sell it without Ebay being involved.
