How To Sell Used Campers

Selling used campers doesn't have to be a frustrating task if you go about it the correct way. Whether you just need the money, have no use for it or want to upgrade selling your camper online is probably the best route for a quick sale.

The first thing you will want to do is make the used camper ready for sale. You need to make the camper appealing to those looking for used campers. This means thoroughly cleaning the inside and outside of the camper, making minor repairs and replace defective or broken features. One great tip is to use Febreze on the camper furniture and things. Also a good cleaning of the floor with Pine-sol would be wise. People, especially young families buying used campers buy used campers that smell good, not trashy.

Once your camper is presentable, you'll need to snap 5-10 good digital pictures. These should be crisp, clean photos that are not blurry. You will want to take several of the outside and several of the inside. Be sure to focus of the features of the camper.

Next, you will want to write out everything about the camper. You'll need to list the make, model, year and all the features you camper includes. Specifically highlight air conditioning, heating, hot water heaters, water pumps and any other feature that you camper has that can set it apart from the competition. The more accurate you are with your written description, the more money you used camper will bring in.

After you have prepared and documented the camper, you need a platform to sell it. Below are three of the best places to sell used campers.

  • Craigslist.com- Your best bet for price and speed of sale.
  • Local newspaper- You'll get a good price, but it may take you longer to see because your reach is limited to the local area.
  • eBay.com- Your best bet to dump the camper quickly, but you will sacrifice on the price. People use eBay to get a bottom-basement deal. Not to pay top dollar.

Simply follow the instructions on each of these sites to list your camper. I'd personally start with Craigslist and then move to eBay if I need a quick sale.

From there, sit back and let the buyers approach you about your used camper. Please be prepared to show the camper when contacted and reply to all questions.

Good luck!
