trade in process

Take a jar of Vaseline with you, you'll need it unless it's paid down real low or paid off. They'll wholesale it and you'll end up paying MSRP. Best way is to sell it yourself. Then go offer 25-35% off MSRP. Generally if you owe more than they will give you for it then they will eat up some of that with the full RV price. If it's paid off and you don't mind letting it go for a lower than normal selling price, then they should still give you the 25-35% discount. They won't take your trade assuming they could lose money. Wholesale or auction value guarantees they won't lose money.

they don,t really care about your trade in, your gonna loose in the end on the deal. its all in how the deal is written up, they,ll give you more than book for it on paper. but in the end it,ll work out.

The few dealers we went to told us they would offer us the wholesale trade-in value of our RV without ever seeing it.

First, figure out the value of your camper, when you start dealing tell the sales person to come to your house to evaluate it if their offer is too low. Someone looking for a sale will go the extra effort to give you what you feel is fair. You may want to check the book value before you start dealing just so you know what they may be offering, also check Craigslist.org for values.

In the 4 campers I have traded in and bought they never look at the trade, they go off of blue book.

They normally just work off the blue book.
