Top Tips for Selling Your RV

Have you considered trading in your RV? If you are thinking about trading in or selling your RV, there is no time like now. Due to supply chain demands, used RV prices are peaking, and sellers are receiving top dollar for their RVs. Transwest is your guide, helping you to sell your RV and make the most out of the decision to move on. 

There are two primary ways to sell your RV successfully: private party listings or with a dealer. Selling your RV is never easy, but the process does not have to be complicated. Whether you give selling a go on your own or work with a dealer, this is our quick guide to selling your RV.

Selling Your RV With A Dealer

Many RV owners opt to use a dealer when selling their RV. New and used RV dealers can leverage their network, keep your RV visible on the selling lot, elevate the listing, and handle the paperwork involved in the sale. Both parties work to determine a fair market price before listing the RV for sale. 

Some RV owners opt to use consignment to try to get rid of their RV, but this can have unexpected obstacles. Generally, the consignment process takes months, and owners cannot sell the RV elsewhere. Choosing a dealer that works to serve you is just as crucial as your listing price. At Transwest, we value your time, energy, and your RV by purchasing your RV outright. Our goal is to make the process of selling your RV seamless!

You can stress less when you sell your RV with Transwest. The first step is getting a quote. Our process is virtually instant. If you worry about how long it will take to sell your RV, don't! We pay you immediately; there is no waiting to see if your RV collects any interest from buyers. Transwest also handles the entire buyer relationship for you.

Selling Your RV Private Party

You have probably sold something "private party" before. The act of selling to a private party is when you take the time to create a listing and attempt to sell an object directly to a buyer. If you have ever sold something online, you have private party sales experience! Most private party RV sales happen on RV forums like RV Trader and Private Facebook Groups, Craigslist, and RVT. 

Although this form of sale can be one of the most lucrative, it is typically time-consuming and lengthy. You will be responsible for cleaning, photographing, posting, managing the listing, setting up opportunities for buyers to see your RV, and finally, the selling process. Phew, that is a lot! Although a private party sale can be a good option for many, it certainly involves the most legwork from you. 

Selling your RV on these public platforms requires a detailed post, fair market price, and photos. Be aware as a seller that often, scammers use these platforms to target individuals buying and selling high-dollar items. Additionally, meet where you feel safe; we recommend a well-lit public area. Trust your judgment when engaging with online strangers during the buying process, and remember that if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't!

Benefits of Selling Your RV to a Private Party:

• You choose the selling price.
• How to advertise is up to you.
• You can use your RV while you are waiting to sell.
• The pace of the sale is in your hands.
• You have the final say on who buys your RV.

So How Should I Sell My RV?

The truth is, this is a profoundly personal decision. Your RV may have been your partner on the road, taking you to places you never imagined, just you two and the open road. Or, you may have found that it mostly sits in storage. Either way, we want to help. 

At Transwest, selling your RV is simple. We will handle the paperwork, marketing, vetting, and informing the buyer; all you have to do is hand over the keys.
