Top 10 Tips for Selling RVs
10. Remove personal items from your shelf to show how much space you have. Buyers will be able to visualize much better how they will use the space, which will increase their interest.
9. Include photos in your ad to show buyers how good your equipment is and pique their interest in seeing it in person.
8. Set a realistic selling price for the quality of your equipment within local market ranges. If your list price is too high, some buyers may walk away rather than bargain with you.
7. Post ads in various places: local newspaper, online classified ads, community bulletin boards, etc. The greater the exposure, the more potential buyers you will have.
6. Clean your equipment until it shines inside and out. A detailed review can get you the best price when your deck looks new again. Consider hiring a professional cleaning service if the task seems overwhelming.
5. Use an escrow company to exchange goods between you and the buyer to avoid scams.
4. Choose a place to display your RV so interested buyers can take a look. Major roads and large parking lots are ideal for through traffic. Interested parties can call you to view the interior.
3. Take your RV to a qualified RV mechanic to verify any necessary repairs. Fixing minor problems can earn you a higher asking price.
2. Make sure your contact information is correct and available for inquiries. Buyers may need to contact you “after hours.” Don’t forget to include your email address and check for new messages every day.
1. Advertise special features or any additional equipment as a package. It could be that added benefit that makes buyers drool and willing to pay a little more for their RV.
