Buyers will want to have proof of your diligence and care for the vehicle up to the point of sale. Get the title in order, prepare a maintenance log, and if you are selling a trailer, have a log of miles towed available. If you can, round up the original appliance and <a href=\"\/blog\/tips-on-how-to-hunt-down-your-rv-owners-manual\/\">user manuals<\/a> so the buyer can get to know their new rig.

There are pros and cons to each option, so we wrote a guide to <a href=\"\/blog\/things-to-know-trade-in-my-rv-or-sell-my-rv-myself\/\">deciding how to sell your RV<\/a>. If you are selling it yourself, you don\u2019t have to share a slice of the pie with the dealer &#8211; whatever you make on the sale is yours.<\/p>\n<p>But consigning it allows the dealer to do the legwork for you, and often buyers feel more comfortable going through a dealer who has more to lose by being less than upfront about a vehicle\u2019s condition and who can help them secure financing for the purchase. If it&#8217;s your first time selling a vehicle, you may want to go through a dealer who can list it online for you. But if you have a little bit more experience, you may be able to get more bang for your buck listing it yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>If you\u2019re selling it yourself: Be detailed with your listing<\/h3>\n<p>Listing it on RVUSA yourself means you\u2019ll need to take detailed photos of everything you can think of in the rig &#8211; the more photos, the better. In fact, many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netsourcemedia.com\/blog\/rv-dealers-posting-on-rvusa\/\">tips for listing on RVUSA for dealers<\/a> apply to private sellers as well! It helps if you \u201cstage\u201d your RV for photos and viewings just like a real estate agent would stage a house. Add some simple touches to your clean RV such as folded towels in the bathroom, fresh flowers on the kitchen counter, and a fully made bed. You\u2019ll also want to write an extensive description. The more questions you answer in your photos and description, the more serious interest you\u2019ll garner, and the quicker you can move on to facilitate a sale.<\/p>\n<h2>Now You&#8217;re Ready to Start Preparing Your RV for Sale<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, there\u2019s a lot to pay attention to if you\u2019re going to sell your rig, but following a detailed preparation plan for sale will help you get the best price out of your used RV.<\/p>\n<p>For more on how to make the most of owning or selling your RV, check out our blog for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/category\/rv-buyers-guide\/\">RV tips and tricks<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Ready to find an RV for your adventures?&#8221; button_url=&#8221;\/browse-all-rvs&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Search RVs on RVUSA!&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#EF4035&#8243; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12643 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-745x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-745x1024.png 745w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-768x1056.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-696x957.png 696w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-305x420.png 305w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-640x880.png 640w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-610x839.png 610w, https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There comes a time in the life of most RVs where their original owners must part ways with them.

There are pros and cons to each option. If you are selling it yourself, you don\u2019t have to share a slice of the pie with the dealer - whatever you make on the sale is yours. But consigning it allows the dealer to do the legwork for you, and often buyers feel more comfortable going through a dealer who has more to lose by being less than upfront about a vehicle\u2019s condition and who can help them secure financing for the purchase. If it's your first time selling a vehicle, you may want to go through a dealer who can list it online for you. But if you have a little bit more experience, you may be able to get more bang for your buck listing it yourself.<\/p><h3>If you\u2019re selling it yourself: Be detailed with your listing<\/h3><p>Listing it on RVUSA yourself means you\u2019ll need to take detailed photos of everything you can think of in the rig - the more photos, the better. It helps if you \u201cstage\u201d your RV for photos and viewings just like a real estate agent would stage a house. Add some simple touches to your clean RV such as folded towels in the bathroom, fresh flowers on the kitchen counter, and a fully made bed. You\u2019ll also want to write an extensive description. The more questions you answer in your photos and description, the more serious interest you\u2019ll garner, and the quicker you can move on to facilitate a sale.<\/p><h3>Preparing Your RV for Sale<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ForSale-745x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"957\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Sure, there\u2019s a lot to pay attention to if you\u2019re going to sell your rig, but following a detailed preparation plan for sale will help you get the best price out of your used RV.<\/p><p>For more on how to make the most of owning or selling your RV, check out our blog for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/category\/rv-buyers-guide\/\">RV tips and tricks<\/a>!<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[224],"class_list":["post-12633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rv-buyers-guide","tag-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What To Know About Preparing Your RV For Sale<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Preparing your RV for sale is an important step.
