SELLING AN RV - THINGS TO CONSIDER
  - the things RVers have recommended to Roaming Times

Roaming Times has had many people giving advice about buying an RV over the last 8 years.  These are some of the things suggested; RV buyers might find them useful:

  • Clean your RV - inside and out
  • Carry out all the repairs that might be necessary before you begin the selling process
  • Limit your use to maintain cleanliness
  • Put together a file of maintenance history, receipts and details of upgrades etc.
  • Put together owner's manuals and documents (warranties if you intend to transfer)
  • Remove all items you do not intend to sell with your RV
  • Check out RVs in the RoTi Classifieds - RVs for sale section ...
  • Read RoTi consumer reports about your RV type - the buyers will
  • Consult price guides like NADA, setting the right price is very important 
  • Beware of high pressure salesmen - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is - as many readers have told us.  If you have to give them a decision very quickly, the decision should probably be no ...
  • Check the RV for damp and mold - we've had many horror stories about problem RVs (see the RoTi section Scary Stories)
  • Talk to RVers.  Ask them about their experiences
  • Remember, buying an RV is seasonal - prices tend to be higher at the beginning of the season.  Many people sell at the end of the season ..
  • Read the many comments about selling an RV on RoTi - there's a lot of experience and advice
  • Think carefully about where to advertise - use the free sites - RoTi is one of them
  • You'll probably get lots of sales people calling you - be careful
  • BEWARE - experience with internet deals involving shipping, wire transfer, or cashier checks are often fraudulent !!  Please be careful of any deal which suggests it involves these things - shipping, wire transfer or cashier checks !!
