HELP with a value

Remind yourself about the usage you have put it through, and your desire to move onward, and then if you like the offer, accept it. Something dramatic might happen tomorrow, and you could sell it today!

You need to find out what your TT came with as standard equipment - what was built into the base price.

Examples:

If there were two refers available, then the smaller one was standard equipment. Don't price it in as an extra unless it is the larger refer that the original owner had to pay extra for.

There may have been two sizes of air conditioners available. The 13.5 would have been standard equipment. If there was a 15K also, then it was probably at extra cost.

Was the awning standard or did they have to pay extra for it.

The stove top is always standard and the oven usually is also, but you need to know if the oven was standard or not.

Maybe two size of tires or axles were available.

Maybe one vs two batteries.

Maybe two sizes of furnaces.

Get the idea - the base NADA price covers all of the standard features. You can only add in the price of the extras if extra was paid for them. Someplace in one of the cupboards there was a build sheet showing you what was standard equipment. Hopefully it's still there some place.

Bill

Look around and see what dealers and others are asking for it as a starting point.

I just went through this with a motorcycle, I was not quite sure of its value.
I put it on ebay with a high reserve and watched the bidding; I then placed the MC on craigslist with 20% above the highest bid; Sold it for 10% above the highest bid;

I found that ebay is a good weathervane for pricing;

Great idea looking at ebay, but cant find anything close to this here either. Geeze like this model didnt exist. I'm the original owner. I dont think I paid extra for anything,I bought it off the lot in Pa.
So when I look at NADA, are you saying that I shouldnt be checking anything extra or do I have to look at a bill of sale or something that tells me what the rv has? I dont know if I have any papers like that. Its a 2014 Keystone Passport ultra lite grand touring.

Try a search on RV trader.com for similar models.

Typically, RV's have a steep depreciation curve so don't be alarmed if you get low balled. Lots of used units out there today.

Getting "book value" is tricky as it never seems clear what items should be added or are considered standard on that unit. I don't add for stuff that you would expect to be on the unit when delivered to a dealer but just truly extras such as a 2nd battery or added awnings, etc. You're unit is old enough that probably all you need or can get is a rough estimate and an extra item or 2 isn't going to make much difference. Besides there is no "true value" but just what a buyer will pay. So you can use just about any book value that shows up then add some and be ready to negotiate. The darn things depreciate like crazy.

I would go with the NADA value and just check the standard equipment options rather then fuss with all the individual options.

Unless you have a super spiffy or unique high dollar TT option, no one cares. This is also true of the "improvements" you may have made.

The value of the TT depend on what the buyer is willing to pay and what you are willing to sell it for. At least the NADA value gives you a high and low price point.

Good luck
