Lance travel trailers are well-built and last for many years. On the other hand, your camping preferences and requirements may change over the years, and growing families may need a little more space on long trips. If you have decided that you no longer want your Lance camper, there are a few options available for selling it. Your 3 main options are to sell it yourself, sell it to a dealer, or put your camper trailer up for consignment sale to avoid the annoyance associated with selling it yourself.
1. By Owner
If you have a used Lance travel trailer that you would like to sell, the idea of selling it yourself probably came immediately to mind. Buy-Owner sales are a popular way to handle used travel trailers, but there are some major inconveniences as well. You would be responsible for placing ads in the local paper, showing the unit to interested buyers, and parking the unit in a location that is accessible and visible. Transferring ownership can be confusing as well, and it is part of the Buy-Owner method.
2. Consignment
With consignment sales, your Lance camper gets sold by an RV dealer. It has all of the exposure and support available from an established dealer, and they will handle all showings and take care of the paperwork after the sale. Nothing beats consignment sales for a trouble-free way to sell a used Lance camper, but the drawback is that the dealer will net a percentage of the sales price. Even so, consignment sales are popular and easy, especially for busy people without much time for meeting prospective buyers..
3. Trade-In
If you would rather continue your camping adventures but your current Lance camper isn’t right for the job anymore, you could make a trade-in with the dealership. With a trade-in, you still get a fair price for your camper, but it is applied to the newer model you will be taking home. If you only want to make the sale, some dealerships will buy used campers that are in great condition. This would be a faster transaction than consignment, but may not yield the same profits.
The good news is that Lance has been making truck campers and travel trailers for a long time, and the company has an excellent reputation for industry-leading construction and quality materials. Lance products sell well, and a Lance dealership can handle the sale as well as any repairs needed to increase the resale value.
