Nohr’s RV Center offers consignment sales to help facilitate the private sale of motorhomes. The process is straightforward, and we provide access to a wider range of potential buyers to sell the motorhome quickly. Before you decide to sell your RV yourself, or after you’ve tried and failed, take a look at how consignments work and the benefits available for private RV owners.


What is an RV Consignment?

Instead of listing your RV in the local paper or setting it up near your residential street, consignment motorhomes for sale gives you better exposure and eliminates inconveniences such as:

  • Arranging times to meet with potential buyers
  • Transferring ownership and other paperwork
  • Owner financing
  • Vehicle exposure

Using our professional consignment services is easy. We will set a price with you upfront, handle all of the showing and marketing, and you will receive a check for the agreed upon amount when the vehicle sells. The company you choose for consignment should be well-established so give you the best exposure. For example, Nohr’s RV Center has been in the business for nearly 60 years and has a lot of experience to put into your consignments.

Appraisal and Preparation

Qualified RV dealers will help you find out what your motorhome is worth, and provide RV repair services to help you get the best price. Before anyone offers motorhomes for sale, they should do extensive cleaning and inspection. The closer to brand new the interior of an RV looks, the more appealing it will be to buyers. Having professional repairs done before the sale may increase your turnaround appreciably.

Preparation Checklist

Whether you are selling outright or trading in your RV, making sure everything looks great and is in good working order is important. This handy checklist for trading in your RV applies just as well to getting ready to have it consigned.

Exposure for Your RV

It is easier to sell an RV on a lot with other RVs than in front of a house in the city. Unless you live on a street where a lot of people are buying travel trailers or motorhomes, your yard won’t reach the right demographic and parking in a public place can be difficult. Additionally, leaving your RV in a public place unattended puts you at risk of burglary and vandalism. Consignment offers benefits which include:

  • High Viewing Traffic
  • Company Reputation
  • RV Sales Networks

Paperwork and Financing

Selling your RV is not as simple as you may think. Paperwork for transfer of title has to be filed, taxes paid, tags installed, and more. Buyers appreciate purchasing through RV dealers because it simplifies the process down to a single location. Additionally, an RV dealer may be willing to offer dealer financing on some consignment sales which makes the vehicle available to a much wider range of buyers. For the seller, RV consignment means getting everything in order from the outset so that the sale will go quickly and smoothly.

No Cost Marketing

With consignment, the sales price is established when the RV is accepted for consignment. The RV dealer will then handle listing your vehicle in the appropriate places to get more attention. Motorhomes for sale can transfer in as little as a few days or the dealer may offer a direct buyout and then resell it themselves. Either way, you will know what to expect before the sale, and will not have to pay any out-of-pocket costs beyond initial repairs and preparation.

The benefits of consignment for your RV far outweigh any reservations you might have. From more exposure to greater security while it sells, your RV is going to attract more of the kind of attention you want in an RV lot, and have professional representation when interested parties stop by. It will be available for viewing without scheduling problems, and you can rest easy knowing the process will go smoothly at Nohr’s RV Center.
