NADA typically shows a base pricing that a buyer would hope to pay. If you can accept the 'average retail', then list just over (10-15%) and give yourself room to fall back to it.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Time of year is also important. Dealers are putting out great savings from mid-October on to rid the onsite inventory. Spring is when folks are thinking about camping and the dealers have current stock coming in. If always looked at Spring/mid-summer to be the sellers market and late-summer/fall as being a buyers market.</div><div><br></div><div>There's always exceptions to any rule...</div><div><br></div><div>Google your trailer and you see several sites in which to compare pricing.</div>]]>

I just did a quick check and they had exactly one 2015 RP-171 for sale at $12,900. If yours is in good condition, that might be a good starting place. The other consideration is how long you're willing to wait to make a deal and other local buying/selling considerations. For example, if you were out west of the Sierra, you might add a bit. If you're down south, probably subtract a bit. If you have any local dealers, go in and see what they are selling year old models for. Since yours is about 5 years old now, that will decrease its value somewhat, but not as much as you might think.]]>
