Travel trailer value ?

[Strummer]

What's the best way to find the value of an old trailer ? Sister in law is looking at old 28 ft fleetwood . Asking price is 3G

I always start with NADA.

Find similar on Craigslist. That will be what they will sell for. Blue book stuff nada will all be higher priced than what the market will yield.

I'd sit on sidelines and watch the prices till you get a feel. I'd rather pay a bit more for one that was in really good shape than save a little up front but spend later to keep it from totally falling apart. But that is why I bought new this last time too.

If you're selling. ....it's only worth 1/2 of what you're asking.
If you're buying, it's worth twice what you'll offer!

For as old as it is I think it in good shape . It's a 87 . The fridge been pulled and a dorm fridge installed . New water heaters. Solid floors

Condition, condition, and condition are the three most important things about an older Rv trailer. Kelly blue book is a place to start, or haul it to a Rv place and get it inspected and appraised for trade in.

I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a 30 year old travel trailer, no matter the shape, and that's probably too much.

if your looking at an 87 and still no leaks then the price really ought to be low. you should be able to get that on the cheap. I'd pay based on price to replace things like a/c and water heater...

I wouldn't pay over a couple grand for sure.

The older ones are better than the new ones. Right now im sitting in one that
Is an 86 and it has never has a leak. I stayed in a 1 year
Old one last year with slides while i built my house and
It leaked every time it rained. Its a good price if YOUR sister thinks it is. In really Good shape ....3k is fine

I'd be interested. Looking to put one on a small place in Brady I hunt.

[Strummer]

I think she offered 2200 on it . That was the top end of her budget .

[Bassdeer]

yea NADA, offer low you can always come up. I get a number in my mind and don't move off of it.
