Sad day, we have to sell! Advice

[PFM]

Due to an unfortunate turn of events with my DW health we have to put up the truck and camper. The entire family is sad about this decision, but sometimes "reality" smacks you right in the face! Should we attempt to sell as a package or individually? What about consignment at a dealer? How do you know what a fair asking price is? Everyone's comments appreciated! Thank you

I know there has been a lot of shale workers coming into PA/Ohio. They have packed the campgrounds. I would try selling them separately or as a package on Craig's list. Try to list it in the regions that the shale/oil workers might be looking in. Good luck. We almost sold out due to illness a few years ago. Couldn't sell it, now we're glad we didn't

Sorry to hear of health problems. My wife is going to be using a 3 wheeled scooter this year, to get around in the campground.

Both the trailer and truck should be easy to sell. I think I would list them to sell separate, but have the option for a better deal, when purchased together.

I doubt a beginner would want that size FW, and someone looking to move up may have their own capable truck. IMO, that truck would sell very quickly!

It is hard to get a dealers price, for our RVs, but I'd check to see what dealers are asking, compare that to wholesale value, and try to stay in the middle.

Best of luck to you and your wife.

Go to RVTrader.com and plug in your own specifications and see what people are asking within a hundred miles or so of your location. Private sellers are a better indication of value than dealers. Dealers build in negotiation room in their retail price.

NADA trailer guides list SOME fivers, but not all.

I guess consignment could work if there is a nearby high volume dealer. You need lots of lookers. Also read the consignment contract very carefully. Can he sell it out from under you for almost nothing? (That was a complaint on consignment car sales here in Central Florida.) What is the Commission? etc.

Individually or combination? Your call. Just remember that you probably don't want to sell the truck and then have no way to move the trailer that hasn't sold yet.

I have the same problem with my wife and will be watching this thread.
