How to Sell an RV

Step 1 – Clean and Inspect

The RV should be properly cleaned and inspected to make it more attractive to buyers. It is worthwhile to check for mold or other issues and test the lights, appliances, generator, and other components.

Download the RV Inspection Checklist for a comprehensive list of items to check prior to listing your RV for sale. Take photos of the RV when it is cleaned and ready to be advertised.

Step 2 – Organize Paperwork

To ensure a smooth transaction, the seller should gather the vehicle’s title and all information needed to complete the RV bill of sale. The bill of sale can be mostly completed with the vehicle and owner’s information, but shouldn’t be signed.

The owner may want to gather service records and any documentation that was provided when the RV was first purchased in case the buyer is interested.

Step 3 – Advertise

The seller can advertise their RV by putting a “for sale” sign on it and marketing it on social media, online marketing platforms, and newspaper classifieds.

Step 4 – Show and Negotiate

After the RV is properly listed, interested buyers will start contacting the seller to set up viewings. During showings, buyers may wish to test certain functionalities of the vehicle or even take it for a test drive.

If a buyer is interested, the parties can negotiate a price and other terms. Once they have agreed on the terms and conditions, they can finalize the transaction.

Step 5 -Finalize the Sale

The bill of sale, which was mostly filled out ahead of time, can now be completed with the buyer’s contact information and the sale price. The parties shouldn’t sign the bill of sale until the buyer has paid the seller in full.

Some jurisdictions may require notarization, in which case, the parties should only sign in the presence of a notary public. Alternatively, the document can be uploaded to eSign and signed and notarized online.
