You will lose a ton of money if you choose to do a consignment. I used RV Trader to sell my last truck and RV (as a package deal) so I would get nationwide exposure. I had a lot of interest and ended up selling to a really nice guy in Texas. He flew to my home state of Oregon and paid full price then drove them home. It was a very smooth transaction. As with any sale to a private party, you need to be really careful to read the people you're dealing with. I'm very sensitive to red flags and feel I'm a pretty good judge of people. I've never traded in anything. All my vehicle sales have been private party and it's saved me tens of thousands of dollars over the years.
I will say consignment (like trading your vehicle in) is much easier and less stressful. That is worth something.
Good luck with whatever decision you make.
