Are Travel Trailers selling at all right now?

If you must sell now, list it.

My dealer, who is a large dealer, claims that sales of travel trailers is fine. Especially the entry level models.

I can't imagine that this would be a good time to sell anything since most of us are stuck at home. Unless it could be viewed on the internet but still would have to be closed in person.

Priced right, anything will sell. It won't be top dollar though

I just bought a travel trailer

Straight up....you ain't selling anything right now.

My account hasn't budged in over a month.

BUT with heavy inflicted cabin fever, you'll be able to sell a dead parrot when this breaks.

I don't think a lot of things are moving.

We have our creekside listed and it's getting some activity, but not like normal for this time of year.

It almost sold, but fell thru at the last minute.

I'm betting once the stay at home order is over things will move much quicker.

Luckily we're not in a rush, bought the replacement last fall so we've had 2 trailers for a while.

Great time to buy. Bad time to sell. With many people losing their jobs or worrying about losing them and nest eggs taking a big hit, it will be quite a while before buyers start coming back at full price.

I bought a used travel trailer from my local dealer, they did take some money off...but they are also including a bunch of stuff with the sale(weight distribution hitch, a complete service, a new battery, both propane tanks filled, all hoses for hook ups, etc)

I am in CT my wife always wanted a camper I never wanted one. I know the owner of the dealership he wasn’t selling much. Luckily my wife and I are both still working without concerns of slowing down(she’s a nurse and I work on heavy equipment) so I figured what the heck let’s buy a camper!!

FWIW, my parents also have a camper they store at my house during the winter months since they don’t have the room and I have 2 spots on my property set up perfectly for campers so I figured what the heck. Let’s fill up both spots
