I think Im gonna sell mine..??

Sorry to hear about that Sully2 and I would put it up for sale ASAP to give you more time. I'm aware of the health struggles that you have been going through over the past years and I'm getting close to being in the same situation! I have heart problems and my heart needs to be operated on but, that can't be done because of my blood cancer my oncologist say's I can't survive a operation! I walk my dogs down to the corner or set up my RV at a RV Park and I'm out of breath. The wife say's sell I say no not yet. I'm on a new medication called Jakafi that costs $11,290.00 a month. Good Luck to you my friend!

Yes, Jim we do have to take a minimum out each year, but what the RV lifestyle was taking was about three times that and was reducing the principal much too quickly for comfort.

Of course the recent financial panic has way exceeded any reduction our RV expenses caused!

Retirement scares me. Work hard to get there, and then worry if you will have enough $$ to last.

Thanks fro the clarification.

Dang Sully! Sorry to hear that, but understand your thinking. We have thought of selling ours too because of costs, but think we would miss the lifestye too much. God speed.

Sully last time I looked I did not see a requirement to own an rv to be on here. Good luck in your decision and stick around I believe most here like us enjoy your cander.

Sully,
The wife and I down sized last year. We sold our Beaver at PPL in Houston in 3 days. on consignment.
We turned around and bought a Coach House class c 26 ft. The best move we have ever made. I turn 80 this month and I don't feel one bit intimidated with handling and parking and I still tow my CRV. Took us a couple of trips to get use to the new size but we are not sorry one bit.
Hang in there and Travel on, Just in a smaller size.....!!!!!!

You can use Oodle.com to research the current listings for similar rigs.

Sorry the OP has to leave a lifestyle that he loves. I guess it is something we'll all face some day. Good advice on his selling options. IMHO the OP should be as realistic as possible with pricing out his rig. Do some research at Motorhomes of Texas if they are a CC used dealer on asking price. Remember though that isn't what it'll sell for. No one has mentioned PPL in Texas to see what similar types of rigs are being sold for. Do Craiglist searches at hot bed RV markets and see what the competition is out there and again asking price. As far as extra's he has in it, the one post had it right that 99.5% of potential buyers could care less about them, especially if they are a first time RV'er because they may not realize the value of extra filters and such. When I bought both of my rigs, used, albeit both gassers I used a formula of 25-30% off original msrp first sold as new, and then 10% off each subsequent year to arrive at what I though was a fair price to purchase the first one private and then to put a value on when I traded it in at a dealer along with the value of the rig I bought. OP, sorry to see you go and good luck with your decision and future endeavors.

I thank one and all for their input and take all under advisement. Thanks again

Sold a fiver on CL. Almost every inquiry and finally, the sale came from that listing. It helps if you have lots of pictures and a link to a Youtube video showing off your rig. All free.

Also had it listed on RVTrader which, if I remember correctly, was $75.

All RVTrader got me was the attention scammers calling or emailing me, claiming they had buyers standing by, looking for rigs just like mine and they were asking for very large listing fees.
