Selling my trailer, advice?
Well, after having couple years enjoying our travel trailer, we have decided it's time to sell it. The boys are getting older, their activities are getting busier, and the time to go camping is pretty...

This is why its nice to pay cash for toys. When you get tired of it your not so worried about what you can get out of it.
CL I have sold two on it. First one, second person looked at it bought if for cash, second one first phone call wanted it came the next morning and bought it. Price it right and make sure its spotless and everything works, did I mention to tell you make sure its spotless and everything works.
In my limited experience a camper depreciates faster than anything I've ever seen. Not many people have the cash to pay cash and that makes them sell cheap if you sell it yourself. I have also found it's something that when you do purchase it, plan on keeping it for a long time because they are hard to sell yourself.
Some of the prices I've seen on CL are stupid low. If I thought I could I would sell mine and upgrade.
I have a 19N Fleetwood Mallard I bought from sister for full retail in 03. It's a 99 they paid 12K and 4 years later full retail was 7400. I could have paid way less but I was helping my sister out. They wanted to upgrade to bigger one. Now they took a big hit on that one and settled for a pop up. Go figure.
