Even if you are an experienced RVer, selling a camper requires specialized knowledge and skills that you may not possess, especially if you want to maximize your value. Many RV owners find that consigning their camper with a dealership reduces much of the hassle. Keep reading to learn more about the process of consignment and its benefits.   ## **What is RV Consignment?** When you are considering selling your RV, you have the option of putting it on the market yourself. However, you will be responsible for advertising the sale, vetting buyers, negotiating a good value and completing the various paperwork necessary for the transaction. If you don’t have the time or know-how for all this work, you should consider [RV consignment](https://www.campersinn.com/contact-us-consignment) with a reputable dealership. For a percent of the sale, the dealer will sell your RV for you, and you will be able to leverage their resources and experience to get the best return on your investment. ![A row of RVs for consignment](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/puma%20line%20up%2072dpi.jpg?width=1349&name=puma%20line%20up%2072dpi.jpg) ## **What are the benefits of consignment?** When you consign your RV, the dealer will treat your camper as a piece of their own inventory. They will keep it safe and well-cared for when it is in their possession. If you usually store your camper during the off-season, having it available on a dealer’s lot during that period will give you extra time to sell it. When you bring your RV in for consignment, a dealer should provide an on-site appraisal that will determine your vehicle's fair market value. Since they will be motivated to sell it, they should give you an honest assessment that will be beneficial for both you and the dealership. Many dealers will also complete all the necessary paperwork for you. A good dealership will then have trained RV sales professionals put your vehicle in front of the right buyers. Used RVs are a popular way for many people to enjoy the lifestyle, so your chosen dealer will see plenty of potential buyers. Even better, you can take advantage of your dealer’s brand recognition and reputation, which will increase the chance of someone falling in love with your camper. ## **How should I prepare my RV for consignment?** If you have decided to consign your RV, you need to make sure it is in tip-top shape. Here are 8 steps which will help you get the best value for your appraisal and sale: 1. Clean your RV thoroughly 2. Make sure everything is in working order, including slides, appliances, tires, etc. Ask your dealer if they can perform any needed repairs 3. Return all original accessories and equipment (including furniture, bunks, remotes, cushions, etc.) 4. Make a list of any aftermarket additions or improvements 5. Gather all your maintenance records 6. Have a clear title in your name 7. Compile all manuals and paperwork for your RV and appliances If you are ready to learn more about the RV consignment process, visit this page to contact your nearest Campers Inn RV dealership.
