Rvtrader.com vs RVT.com
Which one is better for selling a Class A diesel pusher? Since they are very similar it doesn't seem worth it to list on both. Thoughts? Thanks

maybe because someone may look on one and not the other ?
When it comes time to list our rv, I will list it everywhere...

They are definitely not the same. I've found motorhomes on RVT.com that weren't on rvtrader.com and vice versa. I look at rvtrader every day, just to check the market. Seems like there are more for sale by owner add on rvtrader.

I used both to sell. RVT was less expensive than RV Trader.
When shopping I also use both.

Found my MH on RVT. Sold my 2014 Voltage Toyhauler on Craig's list. Sold my 2012 F-350 tow vehicle on auto trader. The more places you advertise it the better your chances are.

Different sites with different pros/cons while searching. I find RVT to be quicker/easier but can't specify as many different options and search criteria. Also, RV trader seems to have more ads and BS to get through as a shopper. As a buyer/shopper I definitely check out both. As a seller I'd bit the bullet and list on both just to catch as many eyeballs as possible. I often see the same coach on both so I know many sellers and dealers do it that way.

I sold a truck camper and a 5th Wheel on RVTrader this year. Also had them listed on RVT, but never got a call from that source (all inquiries came from RV Trader post except for a few from CraigsList).

I sold my gas 2015 Class A in one week this past Spring on RVTRADER. Multiple, non-dealer calls and I received a nearly full-price offer which I happily accepted. THOUSANDS higher than the trade-in offer as one would expect.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!
I think RVTrader.com is the best site. Keep her between the ditches!
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

I recently sold Class A and a Toad Pkg...
RVT.com has a free option - has some limitations but nothing to lose
RVTrader.com - paid - many time period options
iRV2.com Classifieds - Sold the toad here - Free - and decided to upgrade to contributing member
Craigslist - Free but expect some scam replies - relatively easy to spot if you are "tuned in" to the usual approaches...
- Method of pay - checks NG - I only accept CASH, Wire Transfer or PayPal for smaller purchases
- interested save it I'll pay extra
- out of area and wants it sight unseen - "agent" will pick up
- also lots of "dealers" wanting to consign or sell it for you (for a fee) I'd stay away from ALL of these - just my opinion
Keys to maximizing attention - - Price it Right - NADA is a good guide but not absolute - use the other websites to research like Make, Model & +/- 1-2 yrs from your unit to get a feel for other offerings - remember asking isn't actual selling price - some sites list how long a listing has been active and any price drops. NADA is artificially inflated by dealers (IMO) It's in there interest to have prices higher
- Many Good photos - CLEAN Everything - Stage it - Inside, outside, storage
- Maintenance records!!! - IN MY OPINION THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT OF PRIVATE SALE THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS (most cases) EMPHASIZE IT WHERE YOU HAVE DOME A GOOD JOB W/ MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
- Clear concise description - Std Features - Options - Custom
Go to the Google Search bar and search iRV2 for Selling MH...RV...TT...etc you will turn up lots of good tips & experiences

I recently sold my Newmar Kounty Star. The buyer found it on RVT.com. I had it posted on Craigslist, RVTrader and RVT. Received three inquiries, all from RVT. Found our new MH on Craigslist.
Keep Smiling,
Bob R
