Set the price of your RV, depending upon its overall condition, age and special features, higher than the wholesale value but lower than the NADA retail price. Log onto nadaguides.com (the used car guides published by the National Automobile Dealers Association) and kkb.com (Official Kelley Blue Book online for new and used cars price guide) to determine the wholesale value, the lowest price and the highest retail price for your RV.
Clean and repair your RV inside and out to the best of your ability. Park it with a for-sale sign on all sides of it in a high-volume-traffic area where it will be seen by lots of people. Be sure to include your contact information in bold, large, legible writing that is easily read and understood. Tie colorful helium balloons to your RV to draw increased attention to it from passersby.
Place multiple free classified ads for your RV on websites such as craigslist.org; nwsource.com; and kaango.com. Write a short, detailed description of the main features of your RV including year, make, model, mileage, appliances and any other special features that may add to its appeal. Be sure to include quality digital photos of the interior and exterior of your RV in your ads. Include your contact information and the sale price or trade offered.
Have the title to your RV clean and ready. If you are making loan payments on it, you will need to have the paperwork completed by an escrow company.
Relinquish possession of your RV only after you have been paid in full and the funds have been verified as genuine by your bank. It is advisable to accept cash only as there is less chance of a complication later. Do not accept partial payment or a promise to pay later because your RV could be damaged beyond repair in the interim.
After you receive payment in full and it has been verified by your bank, transfer the title to the new owner by signing and dating it in the indicated section of the title. Submit a release of liability notice to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) at once so that you will not be held liable when the new buyer drives away with it.
Sell your RV outright to an RV dealership by contacting an RV dealership like sellmyrvfast.com. Answer some basic questions about your RV, and upload photographs featuring the interior and exterior of your RV. The dealership will process your information and call you back with an offer to buy your RV outright, saving you the time of having to sell it yourself.
