    We sold our 5er on craigslist last month within a month. Price it right and it will sell. We had one scammer that tried, but called him out and never heard from him again.
    Was gonna use a RV consignment place but they wanted 10%. NOT!

    Post it on Facebook and have your friends share it. We had our listed on craigslist and kept getting scam e-mails about it. Parked it locally and finally sold it from our facebook advertisement; took about three weeks.

    ^X2. That's the way I sold my dad's, and it only took two weeks. Received nearly a full price offer.

    Craigslist, RVT.com, rvtrader.com, local paper, post ad on bulletin boards at local cgs/hardware stores

    Pretty much the same way you would sell a vehicle/wheel barrow privately....place ads/notices
