Best way to sell?

Thank you for the info about the $5 fee for Craigslist vehicle sales. I haven't sold a vehicle for quite awhile. I see the fee on their website now.

rgatijnet1, I like your idea about the tires. One might throw in new batteries too. Offering to pay for a couple nights in a nearby campground is a great idea also.

For a fee, they will give you an accurate appraisal of your rv.

If it’s priced right, it will sell.

What is the best way to sell my Class A?

This post is a start

Price - Price - Price.

Facebook has been good for us for selling vehicles. Haven’t tried an RV.

I've used craigslist successfully several times both selling and buying. It's free, so why not try it? Just use common sense and intuition to watch out for scammers. Put plenty of details and pictures in your ad.

Craigslist is no longer free for motor vehicles. Ugh. I was surprised, after selling 80 motorcycles using Craigslist in the last ten years. I went to post one last bike a few months ago and found out they started charging $5 for a limited run. But, yeah, they helped me quite a bit too.

Yea, I have my rig on Craigslist,and it's 5 bucks a month. Well worth it considering RVtrader cost's $89 for a listing with lots of pics.

Must be a CA thing. I just sold a DP and a pickup truck and was not charged anything. Dealers have to pay and if you sold as many as you say pretty obvious you are a dealer.

Do you absolutely need to sell now?

I used Craigslist and sold two Class A's. I did my homework up front and sold both of them for my full asking price. One sold to the first person that came and looked at it and the second one sold to the second person to look at it. It would have sold to the first person but they wanted me to wait while they sold their current coach.
Write a VERY detailed description about your coach. List all of the good points and defects. List ALL of the extras that come with the coach. Be sure to list the details about the tires. That seems to be the number one question that you get from potential buyers. I learned that on my first coach sale so on my second coach I priced a set of new Michelin tires in to my asking priced and mentioned in the listing that the sales price INCLUDED a full set of brand new tires of the brand of their choice.
It worked like a charm and the buyer was tickled to death to get a set of new tires installed and balanced ready for them to drive away.
Basically my listing included a lot of pictures of all of the details with the mention that if there was anything they needed to see I would take a specific picture and email it to them. I sold both of my RV's at the high end of the NADA values PLUS the cost of the extras and new tires. I did not plan on giving my coach away by lowering the price until someone scooped it up to resell themselves. I made sure that I told them about any manuals and records that came with the coach as well as mentioning that I encouraged a full inspection from a mechanic of their choice, and at their expense. I did get a few low ball offers but they are easy to spot and none of those people bothered to come look at my RV. I live in Florida and the first buyer drove down from North Carolina to buy it and on my second coach they came from Pennsylvania. I had only listed them in the local Craiglist but SRIOUS buyers search for the specific coach that they want and will travel.
Basically anyone can "sell"(give away) a coach at a ridiculously low price. If you want to actually SELL it at full retail price you have to do a little work. It is your wallet and your time involved.
The second coach sold to a couple that was new to RV's. My coach was in excellent condition and I sealed the deal by offering them two nights in a local RV park (about $150) so that they could acquaint themselves about how the systems worked. We also drove it around enough so that the buyer felt comfortable enough to take it on the road. It was time and money well spent/invested and it paid for itself by getting my full asking price. Good luck with your sale.
The first coach sold in 2 weeks and the second coach took 5 weeks.
