Fixing up fiver to trade for new
I wonder how many others have walked this path. We got the bug for a new fiver recently. Made the mistake of looking at some of the new spacious floor plans with opposing slides, which are lighter...

If you are going to trade to a dealer, don't bother doing anything.
They either will have their own crew (usually contractors) prepare it for the sale the way they want to present it to the buying public, or they will wholesale it to an auto auction and they don't care about the condition.
The last time We traded at a dealer (used for used) they quoted a base trade in value sight unseen just from my description of the year, make, and model (and the fact that it was paid for).
They adjusted that only based on the "out the door" price that my wife insisted on and after they saw that she was determined not to budge.
The first time they saw the trailer was when we arrived to PDI the new unit.
((Obviously, if your trade in is trashed and you forgot to mention this minor fact, they can and will change the value.))
