Check NADA prices on the same model, one year apart and use that for a guide. Keep in mind several things though. NADA is based on MSRP when new and NOBODY pays MSRP for a new trailer. ALSO when looking at USED models it's current condition is extremely important so be sure to take that into account.
X2. While some suggest checking RV Trader and Craigslist to get a sense of the price, the problem with that is it reveals nothing about what a listed RV SOLD for. Doesn't really matter if it was used 5 times or 500, it's still X # of model years old. Check with a local dealer that sells the brand and give him the make, model, and specs, and see if they can give you a used retail figure on it in addition to the NADA "book", realizing in the end it's only worth what YOU are willing to pay for it.
