For people with travel trailers they want to sell, RV consignments may be the best solution. There are other options, including buy-owner and simply selling the RV to a dealership, but RV consignments have the potential to sell faster and provide more return on your original investment than any other method you may consider.
Paperwork
When you use the buy-owner method of selling an RV, you will be responsible for handling all of the paperwork involved, including initially placing ads to attract buyers. RV consignments include transferring the registration and ownership, marketing, and more. Once the RV is contracted for consignment, you won't have to do anything else until the RV sells, and then it is a simple matter of concluding the contract and getting paid for your recreational vehicle.
More Visibility
An RV lot is going to have a lot more focused traffic than you'll get in your driveway or even parking the RV in a nearby shopping center. RV dealers are routinely getting impromptu shoppers who haven't taken the time to scan the classified ads, and who probably don't live near you. RV dealers will even take care of scheduling tours, and well-established dealers already have a network of RV sales options that private owners could never match.
Appointments and Showings
For private sellers, every interested buyer equates to time you have to set aside for showing the RV, answering questions, and fielding phone calls from people who may only be window shopping when all is said and done. RV consignment sales include all of that, in addition to an experienced sales staff that knows how to weed out the buyers from the lookers.
Financing
A large majority of RV sales are done through timed payments rather than cash on hand. Unless you are willing to finance the sale yourself-- and deal with the potential headaches that can entail-- contracting the motorhome for consignment sale is a much simpler approach. RV dealers already know how the financing process works and have the tools in place to take care of financing problems when they arise.
Selling an RV yourself can be frustrating, and often take much longer to make the sale than you had expected. RV consignments simplify the process for you, saving you time, money, and worry. Simply park your RV on the dealer's lot, fill out the consignment contract, and pick up your check after the sale.
