Trading in TT, what to take?

We are going to trade in our 26BH for a new 2018 Jayco 28BHBE. I have never dealt with a TT trade so it surprised me when the dealer told me I didn't need to bring the old unit in for inspection. The salesman had us fill out a form to describe the general condition of the TT then they gave us a value based on my description. Of course the offer was a bit low but we accepted it. We had it listed for over a month locally and had very few people interested so we opted to trade it in.

Anyway, the salesman (same guy we bought the 26BH from almost 6 years ago) told me I should take out any accessories I have added to the old TT before I bring it in that I wanted to keep. Do you do that or just assume those items should stay with the camper? I'd love to pull the hard-wired Progressive EMS out of my TT but it's difficult to get to. The new owner will be in for a surprise when they find the EMS display under the kitchen cabinet.
  • “told me I should take out any accessories I have added to the old TT before I bring it in“

    I agree. Take anything you’ve added and want.
  • I have been told the same when trading. I took what I thought I could use and left the rest. You are only doing the clean up they have to do if they want to sell it. Most of the time the dealers just send it to auction. We have one of the biggest auction lots in the south just a few miles from us and I have passed by a few times; the lot is huge and has just about anything you can imagine sitting there(very new to very old).

    I have thought about getting a dealers license just so I could browse the lot.:B
