Where to find book value for camper

[wifeofjack]

I hope I can get some good advice from all you Fort campers. I really don't know where to look, but where can I find the book value for our camper? Hubby and I own a 2003 Mako 5th wheel that we would like to trade or sell and get a smaller, maybe 19 foot travel trailer. We thought we really would be happy with the 5er but he has so much difficulty backing it in our driveway, it is just not worth the hassel. He popped the back window in our truck last summer trying to get it in and that was a mess. Our neighbor, who drives a big rig, was kind enough to help us several times, but we really don't want to impose on him any more.

So anybody have any idea of a website that would give me this info. I would like to advertise the camper in the paper, but don't want to price it unreasonably, either too high or too low.

Thanks in advance.

I use www.nada.com they have an rv section, try that first.

Thanks, I just checked out that site, plugged in the info on my camper. It gave me a low retail and an average, would it be realistic to expect to price the camper at somewhere in between the two. I was quite surprised at the two prices that appeared.

I knew that somebody here on the Dis would know where I could find this info. Again, thanks, now hubby and I just have to decide what we want to do next.

Don't get your hopes up too high. Prices from NADA do not reflect reality many times. Often they are lower.

The low retail would be what you could probably expect from a dealer on a trade, give or take, the high retail would probably be close to what you could sell it to an individual for, again give or take. If everything in your camper is in top shape, and works perfectly, the uph, and carpet etc is spotless, ask more. If you camper needs help, then don't expect as much. LOL
