There are a lot of ways to market motor homes for sale by owner. One of these ways is to list them online. There are several free classified listings online that you can use. Probably the most popular free listing service is Craigslist. Another thing you should do when you list online is to try listing locally, or at least in a certain geographical region. 99% of buyers will opt to buy something that is located less than two hours away from their home. The exception might be if people don’t live close to anything, they might be willing to travel a little bit further. But most people from a large metropolitan area, will not want to travel outside of their area in order to buy an RV.
Aside from advertising online, make sure to put your ad in the newspaper and also in the cheap classifieds. The cheap classifieds are the listings that are in classified-only newspapers such as the American Classifieds or the Thrifty Nickel. These places are great, and only cost you about $6-$8 to place an ad in each location. Cheap classifieds tend to work better for cheaper RVs such as travel trailers for sale, but it also works fine for expensive RVs like motorhomes.
Whether you are trying to sell a travel trailer or a motorhome, it is a good idea to always leave the potential buyer with a very good first impression. Make sure that your motorhome is completely detailed on the inside and the outside. You wouldn’t want to show a house for sale if it was messy. The same rules apply to travel trailers and motorhomes. It is even more true, because a dealership will always have their motorhomes spotless. You should remember that they are also your competition, so if you have your RV spotless, you should be able to sell it faster and for more money. In a buyer’s market, people will spend more time looking, which means they will be more critical about any problems that they encounter. Making sure you have a clean trailer to start with, will increase your chances of selling.
