Here’s a post in response to a question I received from Joe S., regarding a vintage 1973 trailer that was recently listed on eBay.  Joe wanted to know if the vintage camper was still for sale.  I remembered seeing it, it had appeared briefly on this website in the vintage trailer eBay post.  (You can see that post here: Vintage Campers ) I thought there must be a way to find out if it sold or not.  It had been listed by one of my favorite sellers, and I knew if I dug around a bit in my emails I’d find old correspondence, but I wanted to think smarter, not harder!  So I did a search of completed listings on eBay Motors, and included the word “vintage” in the category for “RV’s and Campers”.  Eureka!  I struck gold!  Toward the bottom of the list of search results for 37 items, all listings that have ended, I found the listing I was looking for.  And sorry, Joe, it did sell.  (“Vintage Camper – Small Shasta Travel Trailer”).  This 1973 Vintage Retro Trailer sold on January 22, 2009 for only $809.99 on eBay.  There were 7 bids.  When I created this list it made a very interesting study in blue book values for vintage campers and trailers.  eBay is an excellent source of information to find the current sales prices for all types of recreational vehicles.  I saved the search, and you can see it here:  CLICK HERE:  EBAY VINTAGE CAMPERS AND TRAILERS  (Completed listings) So that’s my tip for today, Joe, and for everyone that needs to set the blue book value of a vintage camper or trailer – search eBay on the eBay Motors site, and go to “Advanced Search”, which you’ll find just to the right of the regular search button.  Under the “What are you looking for” you’ll see a box that you can scroll through.  Click on “Rv’s and Campers”.  Then you next click on the little downward arrow under “Type”.  You’ll see you can select from among the following:  Fifth Wheel, Folding Camper, Motorized class A, Motorized class B, Motorized class C, Toy Hauler, Travel Trailer, Truck Camper, or other.  This covers a pretty wide range of recreational vehicles for sale on eBay.  You can also experiment a bit with the “What are You Looking For” menu, selecting “Other Vehicles and Trailers”, and repeat the process of looking at the dropdown menu under “Type”.  This is an excellent way to determine the blue book value of vehicles that are no longer llsted on the Nada site online directory (free!) of camper and trailer prices.  Just out of curiosity for Joe, I also did a search of vintage trailers that are actively being listed, and found 9 current listings on eBay for vintage trailers.  I saved that search too, and here it is: CLICK HERE:  CURRENT EBAY AUCTIONS VINTAGE TRAILERS Do you have any other favorite places to check the blue book value of vintage campers and trailers?  Please leave a comment and let us know your favorite source for the blue book value of  vintage camper or trailer.

Here’s a fantastic time saver for setting the blue book value of any RV, Camper, Travel Trailer or Recreational Vehicle.  Click the links above, which go to eBay Motors, and are already dialed in to the search terms.  The links display current prices.  When you to the search results, take note at the upper right side of the page on eBay, and you’ll see the term “See Completed Listings”.  Just click on “See Completed Listings” and you’ll see the results of previous sales for the types of campers and recreational vehicles you need to compare.  You’ll see the exact dollar amount that the sales have completed for, if the item was sold.  This is a very important aspect of determining the blue book value of any recreational vehicle, trailer or camper – the current market prices!  You can start the process of establishing the blue book value of a recreational vehicle or camper by consulting the book value published as a starting price, such as the online Nada Guide (only for certain newer years, not the old or vintage campers.) Then fine tune your blue book value by taking a look at the actual market conditions!  If you are selling an item that’s in demand, and the supply is low, you have a better chance of getting blue book value when you sell.  On the other hand, if the supply is plentiful and the demand low, you’ll need to consider selling at a competitive price, which may be below established blue book values.  This is more of an art than a science, good luck!

Work backwards from your budget total, subtracting all possible expenses to arrive at your budget. With your budget ready, move to the second step to establish the blue book value of the toy hauler you have in mind. Make a list of everything you’d like to have in a toy hauler, such as the capacity in the cargo area, overall weight loaded, the age, the condition of the toy hauler, and the features of the camper portion. Rank these items in order of importance. It’s also important to check the tow vehicle for specifications regarding towing.

Now you’re ready to do some comparison shopping. You can search eBay motors for toy hauler currently on sale. You can also do an advanced search in eBay motors and look at sales that have been completed. Here’s the link to eBay Motors – Click here:

A strong word of caution when purchasing a toy hauler, or any recreational vehicle: Make sure the person or business selling the toy hauler or other recreational vehicle has the legal right to sell it, and that you will be able to obtain clear title! Can’t stress this enough! If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is! Also, be prepared to take posession when you purchase it!!! Too many sad stories these days about folks buying a trailer or camper, and not ready to take posession right away and leaving it with the dealer. Then if the dealer goes out of business you may have a very difficult time gaining posession of your camper or trailer. So – be prepared to take posession when you pay, even if you only tow it to your own storage location! Buyer Beware!
