Selling an RV or Camping Trailer: The Complete Guide

8/8/2025

What to include, how to photograph, and how QR code signs help you sell your RV or trailer faster.

RVs and trailers sell faster when buyers can inspect details without scheduling a trip. Use this checklist and a QR‑powered listing to answer questions before they’re asked.

Key specs buyers expect

Year, make, model, trim
Length, dry weight, GVWR, tongue weight
Sleeping capacity and bed configurations
Slide‑outs, awning condition, roof condition
Fresh/grey/black tank sizes
Power: shore, generator, solar, batteries, inverter
Appliances: fridge (2‑way/3‑way), stove/oven, AC, furnace, water heater
Tire age, brake condition, maintenance records

Photos that build confidence

Exterior: all sides, hitch, undercarriage, roof
Interior: living, kitchen, bath, bunks/bedroom, slides in/out
Close‑ups: wear areas, decals, seals, tires, storage bays
Utility panel, hookups, VIN plate

Pricing and positioning

Compare live listings for similar spec and condition
List included accessories (leveling blocks, hoses, surge protector)
Note known issues honestly—transparency sells

Use a QR‑powered listing and sign

Park in a high‑visibility spot and post a sign on the curb side
The QR links to your full photo set, specs, and FAQs
Add a short video walkthrough to your page for extra trust

Great FAQs to include

"Any leaks, soft spots, or delamination?"
"When were tires last replaced?"
"Recent roof inspections or resealing?"
"Average tow vehicle required?"
"Title status and any liens?"

Safe showings and test fits

Meet in daylight in a public lot or storage yard with cameras
Let buyers measure hitch height and confirm tow ratings
Never accept overpayments; use secure payment methods only

A thoughtful listing + QR sign = fewer tire‑kickers and faster, safer sales.
