Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Is there an online source for pricing used RV's similar to Kelly's Blue Book for autos?

Yes. It's the NADA book. But again, it's a guide. Market value is based on market conditions.

I would try looking at ebay or used dealer inventory to check prices. Many dealers and private owners are ready to deal. Many dealers will discount 2-3yr old units as much as 50%. You just have to look. The internet makes thing much easier and saves time of driving. Happy searching...

I have found the Internet version of NADA to be about 20% high in most cases.

Looked at a 2011 Montana 3480RL yesterday. Listed for $77K, dealer is asking for $52K. Makes me wonder why anyone would buy a 3-4 year old Montana for $49K

Is there really that much of a markup on new RVs?

You're right. If you can get a new one for $52, then it would be silly to pay $49 for a 4 year old one.

I suspect the the used one will sit for some time before the owner comes to his senses and sells it for $35-40.
