Found a buyer for your RV, but they’re on the other side of the country? Long-distance RV sales used to be filled with friction and potential failure points, but now there’s a smart new way to coordinate with remote buyers so you can sell your recreational vehicle quickly and securely.
Why limit yourself to local buyers when you can tap into the national RV market? DealNow removes complexity from long-distance RV transactions by giving you a complete transactional platform that accelerates the selling process.
Before we tell you how DealNow simplifies RV selling, let’s look at the problems that used to plague long-distance sales.
Before DealNow, selling an RV to a distant buyer was so complicated and risky that most private sellers avoided it. Those brave enough to try faced these obstacles:
Combined, these challenges have made long-distance RV sales nearly impossible—until now.
We built DealNow to eliminate the friction points that traditionally derailed long-distance RV transactions. Now you can sell your recreational vehicle efficiently and safely, Wherever the buyer lives.
Before DealNow, RV sales took hours or days to complete; long-distance sales took even longer. Thanks to instant payments and a real-time self-serve dealflow, you can receive payments and finalize deals in minutes, even across different time zones.
Every potential buyer completes identity verification when creating their account. You’ll know immediately that you’re dealing with a legitimate person. Our funds verification feature also confirms their ability to pay before you invest time in the transaction.
Both parties digitally sign a legally binding bill of sale within the DealNow app. Buyers know they’ll receive the RV; you know you’ll get paid instantly. No more catch-22. You’ll receive a notification as soon as the buyer signs and submits payment.
Our secure in-app messaging protects your personal information while maintaining a complete record of all communications and documents. Buyers select inspection times based on your availability, eliminating the need for tiresome coordination.
Thanks to instant payment processing, you can complete the sale immediately following a successful inspection. The buyer’s inspector acts on the buyer’s behalf. They manage the title transfer and coordinate with the transport company.
While traditional friction points worked together to prevent long-distance sales, DealNow’s solutions harmonize to get your RV sold.
Here’s an example: A seller in Texas sold a $225,000 Class A motorhome to a private buyer in Maine—sight unseen. The buyer’s inspector examined the RV, approved it via video chat, and the buyer transferred payment instantly. The seller handed over the keys to the transport company an hour later. The entire transaction wrapped up in minutes, at 9:15 PM on a Saturday.
DealNow transforms what was once frustratingly complex into something you can manage from your phone, whenever and wherever.
Let’s walk through exactly how DealNow works for long-distance RV transactions.
When you find an interested buyer, invite them to your DealNow dealroom with a custom link. If they need convincing, highlight that DealNow provides:
Once the buyer joins, you can easily coordinate as they conduct their due diligence and arrange inspection and shipping. All communication stays in your dealroom, with all documentation accessible from your dashboard.
The buyer will select from our network of certified RV inspectors in your area. You’ll:
Our integrated communication tools keep everyone synchronized throughout the selling process.
When the buyer approves, you’re ready to finalize the sale. This is where our platform truly shines for long-distance transactions.
What traditionally took weeks now happens in minutes. You receive payment instantly, and our transport partners handle the rest.
You’re not just using a payment app or RV listing site—you’re leveraging a complete transaction platform that makes long-distance RV sales as straightforward as local ones.
The most effective approach is to post your listing across multiple sites to maximize your potential buyer reach. Top sites include Facebook Marketplace, RV Trader, eBay Motors, and Craigslist.
No matter which site helps you find a buyer, use DealNow to finalize your transaction.
DealNow protects you in a private sale and makes getting paid a breeze.
The most favorable time to sell an RV is during spring and summer. People plan their road trips and camping adventures as temperatures rise. This surge in interest typically results in increased demand and selling prices.
Avoid getting scammed when selling your RV by utilizing DealNow for buyer identity and funding verification. Conduct viewings in public locations. Avoid payment risks with DealNow’s secure system and electronic bill of sale.
Submit your release of liability paperwork and terminate RV-specific memberships and insurance after selling. DealNow’s platform makes sure you are protected throughout the entire selling process.
Due to their specialized nature, RVs tend to take longer to sell. A competitive sales price, an attractive listing, and prompt communication can help you sell your RV quickly. You should also time the sale for spring or summer when demand is highest. Take high-quality photos and describe the vehicle in detail.
Once you’ve attracted prospective buyers, bring them to DealNow to simplify the private sales process. We make it easy for buyers to research your RV, coordinate an inspection, and pay you.
The resale value of an RV depends on market demand, condition, brand, type, and age. Though they lose value quicker than homes, RVs typically maintain better value than automobiles. RVs with lower mileage that are well-maintained hold their value best.
DealNow is the easiest way to close your own vehicle deal, anytime. It’s the safe and simple way to avoid fraud, sign documents, and instantly transact, all in one app.
