RV Blue Book -it's not just for automobiles.Selling your RV? Check it out in the RV Blue Book. When you sell your car, or trade it for a new model, it makes sense to check the Blue Book for RV values to get an idea of what you can expect to receive on the deal. (Have you noticed, it always seems a little less than you expected, and a little more than you finally get! Maybe the dealer uses a different version!)The RV Blue Book is usually taken to mean the Kelley RV Blue Book, though this is not the only one, and not necessarily the best one for you. Another well regarded version is the NADA Guide RV Blue Book, information available online. One of the category distinctions in the RV Blue Book is whether you are buying, selling, or trading with a dealer. This, of course is very relevant to the price you can achieve. Another important factor affecting the RV Blue Book price is the condition of your RV. Has it been sitting in the driveway a couple of years, going rusty? A quick check in this RV Blue Book Companion - the used RV buyer's guide - will tell you what to look for as a buyer, and therefore what to fix up as a seller, of course!You can't do anything about a high mileage, but by thinking ahead, you can show a good service record and lessen its effect on the RV Blue Book value. Don't throw away those receipts! If you can't afford to take it on vacation because of the price of gasoline or diesel fuel, maybe you should cut your losses and sell. But before you do that, how about moving it up into a higher RV sales category in the RV Blue Book? Fix any rust spots, make sure the appliances work, clean up the interior, and generally smarten it up. This is mainly work you can do yourself and could get you another thousand dollars or so up the RV Blue Book scale. Likewise a service by a recognized dealer, so you can show receipts can improve a buyer's assessment of the RV Blue Book value. If you are a buyer, consider that the owner will have been doing these things to get his RV ready for sale, and so will save you the effort of fixing it up yourself. Your assessment of the RV blue book value will weigh this against other RVs you have checked out, which may have a lower asking price, but also need money and effort expending on them to reach an acceptable condition for you and your family to vacation in. Overall use the RV Blue Book to assess the relative value of various RVs.
