We have a 2014 176t RPod that we would like to sell.  I am posting this on the owners’ forum because I’m looking for advice.  We’ve not sold or bought a trailer online and would like advice about the best site/way to do it.


The RPod has been modified using many ideas from this forum. The bench between the table and bed now sits up to make a nice sitting area, the heavy table replaced with a lightweight folding one, windows all covered with cellular shades, storage under the dining bench opened up with roll-out shelves, space under the sink opened up to hold our coffee makings, a wine glass holder over the sink and knife magnetic strip on the kitchen wall, wine bottle holders on the entertainment unit, access to storage under the bottom bunk modified to be through a sliding panel on the front, and a memory foam queen mattress on the large bed.  All lights, inside and out, are now LED. Outside, a double propane tank holder and spare tire holder were added to the hitch in front to make dry camping easier. We used the RDome as a canopy, but not the front panel, which was hard to use if the land was not perfectly level (which no campsite we’ve used has ever been). 


Ideas?

We used RVTrader to sell our RPOD 180.  Sold in something like two days.  We received many calls and had to shut off the listing to stop the calls.  At only around $30 to list I would highly recommend them.  Even if trading in an RV for another I would prefer RVTrader over a dealer since we got thousands (yes thousands!) more selling ourselves.  And the person we sold it to still paid a lot less than buying used from a dealer.  So it was a win win for both parties, and a big loss to an RV dealer.  Search RVTrader first to see what RV's are selling for in order to determine what you should ask.  Remember prices are very region specific, so try to aim for what other local people are selling at.

We listed here, and in the Facebook groups for sale page. Dealer told us $6K was what they could "allow".. we sold it in a couple weeks to the first couple that came and looked at it, for $10K to someone from the FB group.

I paid $10,500 for my 2016 176t early spring. Hope that helps...
