When it's time to trade in your beloved motorhome/RV, consider contacting us at Independence RV to help you evaluate a potential transaction. However, before you decide to sell your motorhome RV, ensure that your vehicle is in optimal working condition. This is crucial for obtaining the highest RV trade-in value for your existing motorhome/RV. 

Here's a checklist to ensure your motorhome/RV is ready for a smooth trade-in transaction:

  • Appliances: Ensure they are clean and in proper operating condition. Gather owner’s guides or instruction manuals.

  • Batteries: Make sure they are charged, and compartments are clean and free of oxidation and corrosion.

  • Cabinetry: Inspect for damage, swelling, and water damage. Ensure all doors open and shut with minimal effort.

  • Ceiling: Examine any water damage, staining, and any leaks. Replace cracked or broken vent covers.

  • Chassis and storage compartments: Look for corrosion and address visible rust.

  • Cockpit: Check any components that affect the driver or driving experience.

  • Electrical: Ensure all interior and exterior lighting is functional.
