Get Your RV Retail Ready

You want to get top dollar for your RV. By investing a little time and money before posting the "For Sale" sign, you can increase your chances of making a successful sale. Cleanliness counts! Looks aren't everything, but they can make the difference between prospective buyers giving your rig just a quick glance, or a thorough look-over. By showing that you care about your RV right down to the last detail you will attract more serious buyers.

Steps

  1. Repair or replace window treatments (blinds, shades, etc.) that don't work properly.
    • Remove personal items from the storage areas and glove box. Clean these areas thoroughly.
    • Eliminate any odors with some potpourri or an air freshener.
  2. Choose whether or not to fix.
    • As a general rule, you should make all inexpensive repairs.
  3. Leave more expensive repairs and services to the new owner and be sure to let potential buyers know of any major repairs needed.
  4. Use your best judgment.
    • Repairs should make sound financial sense. If you're likely to recoup the cost of the repairs through a higher sales price, go ahead with the repairs.
