How to Sell RVs On Craigslist. Recreational vehicles, or RVs, are popular items people like to sell on Craigslist. If you want to sell your RV, you can post an ad for free. Here's how to sell RVs on Craigslist.
Post Your RV Ad
Step
Go to Craigslist (see the link in Resources below).
Step
Click "Post to Classifieds."
Step
Select "For Sale/Wanted."
Step
Click the "Recreational Vehicles" link.
Step
Choose your geographical location from the list.
Step
Fill out the required fields for the posting description.
Step
Use an accurate and informational title. Simply saying "1984 camper for sale" isn't as enticing as saying "1984 Starcraft Popup Trailer in Great Condition--Only One Owner."
Describe Your RV
Step
Describe your RV using colorful yet honest statements. You should include the year, make, model, average yearly usage and any mechanical improvements or major problems.
Step
Avoid exaggeration. If the RV has had a recent oil change, don't say it had a "major engine overhaul." Also, if you had the brakes redone 5 years ago, don't say the RV has "new brakes."
Step
Keep in mind that buyers on Craigslist are coming to buy RVs at a cheap price, so be fair when you price your RV. If you are out to make a huge profit, you will not likely get it.
Negotiate the Sale
Step
Respond to buyers quickly through email to keep them interested.
Step
Accept or decline offers in a professional manner while being mindful of your bottom line. If you are offering your RV for $1,500 and know you won't take less than $1,200, politely decline inquiries offering less than your bottom line.
