Selling Trailer
Wife and I own TT. We are thinking about selling it and would be interested in your thoughts about selling it to a dealer vs selling on our own. Not set yet, but my take a year or two off and then...

Dealers make more money selling new units plus they make more from the factory warranty work. It may languish on their lot forever, or at least for a very long time. You sure don't want that if you need the cash for the next TT.
A dealer will want to price it at the blue book value no matter how much you've upgraded it or if it is in pristine shape. I would sell privately but the question is where to list it. There are consignment lots that sell just used RVs, but I don't know if they are any good.
We sold a previous TT to my BIL who got the benefit of several thousand $$ in mods and upgrades but we couldn't get more than what it was worth on the open market. We had no bites on CL after several months which was getting discouraging.
