Travel Trailer trade-in value

I have enjoyed learning so much from this forum, but now I would like some advice. We have a Keystone Springdale travel trailer/toy hauler (2014 but purchased in 2015). It is not your typical toy hauler in that we have a platform on the front to haul ATV's etc with living space separate. My husband and I have been recently thinking of selling our current trailer for one with a slide and sleeps at least 5 people. I know our trailers value dropped significantly once we drove it off the lot. My question is how do we find out what our trailer is really worth? I went to NADA but couldn't even locate our trailer's model number or anything close. We would really love to upgrade, but we are afraid we will end up losing too much. TIA for all the advice.

Can't help you with a value, but if you have a outstanding loan, it is most likely worth less than the payoff amount.

Check with your bank and see if they would be able to tell you the current value, they should have a way to find out..

Barring that, ask a couple of RV dealers what the trade in value is, they will most likely give you wholesale value and that will be about what it is worth to them. They have to resale and in order to resale they must buy low..

Maybe $13k sold privately. What is the model number?

Usually 1/2 of what you paid for it. Or less. You're always better off selling it yourself.
