National Vehicle Study Finds Average Private RV Sale Takes 69 Days
A report by National Vehicle analyzing over 5,000 private RV sales indicates that the median time to complete a transaction is 69 days.
New research from National Vehicle has quantified the timeline for private-party recreational vehicle sales. By examining data from more than 5,000 confirmed transactions, the company established that the median duration required to sell an RV stands at 69 days.
The findings highlight significant variations in sale duration based on the type of recreational vehicle. Factors such as current market demand, the physical condition of the unit, and aggressive pricing strategies are primary drivers in accelerating or delaying the liquidation process.
This data serves as a benchmark for sellers looking to navigate the secondary market. While selling privately can often result in higher net returns compared to trade-ins or dealer consignments, the study underscores that owners should anticipate a multi-month process to achieve a successful sale.
