I don't do trade ins. It just muddies the price waters.
I pay cash for the new unit, bring it home and park it next to the old one. Then I sell the old one after transfering all my stuff out of it.
It sells quickly as the most common concern buyer seem to have, is "why are you selling it?" I just point to the new one. That sells it.
That's a good philosophy to have if you are able to carry it. I too will certainly never trade in another. The reason why most RV dealers will shoot you a trade number sight unseen is they are giving you a wholesale number. As an experiment once I negotiated new purchase with trade in over the net with half a dozen different dealers and all 6 were within $400 of each other sight unseen on trade.
Just take the low retail number over at NADA being accurate with any added options as most are not options, subtract about 30%, and that will usually give you a ballpark trade in number. It's a definite money loser for sure.
