You can't expect a buyer to pay tou for maintenance items. Proving/showing routine maintenance is only a way to show a prospective buyer why they should by your unit and not someones else's.
It's routine maintenance I would expect it but not pay more for it.

Agreed, but between a trailer that has been maintained and one that hasn’t been I’ll take the maintained one even if it’s priced a bit more!
But every trailer similar has the same value of a properly maintained vehicle. You are assuming the others are not maintained. Why would someone pay extra for the same vehicle condition. Like I stated earlier. It may make it easier to sell. But unless you work some dealership upsell tactic it is not worth more.

Since I am a self-proclaimed (just now) advertising guru.....
It will break (no pun) down like this:
60 percent will care...:C
30 percent will not...:(
10 percent either won't pay any attention to that info, or don't know what you're talking about...:h
Bottom line: Why not include the money spent on upgrades and mechanical work in "for sale" info? (Save receipts!).

My ad stated mine didn't leak, and had never leaked. I told him I had just done the roof maintenance including caulking the seams. Gave him a ladder and told him to get up there and take a look. Also showed him the repairs from a tire blowout and a new top slideout gasket. I had it in my driveway, plugged in with everything on - fridge, water heater, AC. Told them to hang out inside and pretend they were camping. He paid my asking price without trying to negotiate.
Knowledgeable RV'ers will probably like it, but it's not like to add any more to the sail. New or novice RV'ers will be asking "Were they replaced because they were damaged? How were they damaged?".
