The toad being set up to tow is a BIG negative to anyone not looking for a toad.
For an RVer, I doubt you can get a premium and it probably narrows your buyers pool.
I for one, don’t trust anybody’s install, plus is it a Roadmaster vs Demco, etc.
I take everything off and try to sell it and trade it in.
Dealers do NOT want to see baseplates, brakes, etc.
It's a ReadyBrake, so not much to screw up except where it connects to the brake pedal, and that part's accessible. Won't be appealing to anyone with a diesel pusher who wants an airbrake system, obviously, so that narrows the pool even further.
I'm with you - I tend to not trust anyone's install either. However, I've heard plenty of people say that they think the MH life would be interesting/fun/exciting, but they wouldn't know how to go about getting everything set up. That's the group I would need to reach, though maybe the number of actual people in that group (vs those that say it and don't really mean it) is much smaller than I think.
One of the early responses to my other post that I actually saw suggested that I pull the mods out and sell them separately. So maybe I do that, but part of me feels like that would be such a shame. It was a PITA to drill a hole through the metal bumper to install the brake and light connections. And to fishhook the lighting kit through the whole length of the frame. Among other things. It just seems like there must be people out there who would appreciate not having to deal with that themselves (or hire someone to do it).
