How big a pain to sell a 17 year old Alpha Gold?

So here's the back story - my mother in law is 80+ and living in the 5er that her and her late husband had (it's in an RV park in Southern CA). It's time for her to move to a senior living facility and we've started the process on that so we need to help her sell the 5th wheel.
I've already talked to one dealer who does consignment sales and basically they keep 3K from the selling price.

This seems somewhat reasonable to me but I figured I'd ask the 5er community if selling it ourselves (Craigslist/For Sale Sign/whatever) was worth the additional hassle. The MIL is getting somewhat fragile so we wouldn't want her dealing with the potential buyers and we live roughly 100 miles away so the logistics of us going up for every inquiry could be an issue.

What are the thoughts of the 5er brain trust? is the additional 3 grand or so worth the hassle/risk?

Thanks!
Outta my way, we're goin campin!

What's the value of the 5er to begin with?
