We own a 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD Motorhome. We are putting it up for sale very soon.

As we get older, my Husband is just not as comfortable driving the Motorhome as he was driving our pick up truck and towing a fifth wheel. Our decision has nothing to do with the pandemic or over crowding as we have not experienced a problem finding campgrounds in our chosen destinations.

Anyone interested? It only has 29,000 well cared for miles!

Got rid of my Newmar. Tired of the race riots and political lies with the borders and states closing down a lot of the traveling. Will relook at the rv traveling after we change what is going on

No plans to sell it, but everything we own, especially the toys, can be bought if someone makes us a really stupid offer. Make that kind of offer to my wife and she would throw in a driver for the RV. me

We have lived in our 17 ft Casita for four and a half years. We both love it, but if we continue to live full time I want more room. I will have to drag my husband out of the casita, thus making it a hard sell.

That’s me, Martha! We don’t full-time in our 17 foot Casita, just a lot of long weekends away and occasional long trips. I have been wanting a 21 foot Escape for years, but my husband is holding onto our Casita for all he’s worth! I can keep the memories in my head (14 years worth and counting!), but his are tied up in the Casita itself. I keep trying!

After many enjoyable years of traveling American roads and those of our wonderful neighbors to the north, we will be taking one last extended trip this year with plans to sell our 8 year old 5th wheel either this fall or next spring. The necessity of reserving campsites months in advance is killing our impulse travel, and health and age issues have put a seal on the deal! We’re quite sad about this upcoming end to our wandering days!!

I have been unable to find a campground with available sites, after trying several areas of the country and different time periods. Costs are also becoming ridiculous in many areas. I can afford the costs but am not willing to pay those outrageous costs, often much more than a hotel room! I understand the tradeoffs but…will just stay home and enlarge my flower gardens, or sell it if I get a good offer.

Listed our Flagstaff camper on Craigslist and sold it 11 hours later for more than we paid. We sold it because we bought a slightly bigger Flagstaff camper. We have no intentions of selling the new camper.

Had to think about this question. I am currently sitting in Oregon,for the second week,waiting for GEICO to get me an authorization to repair damage done when I hit an antelope. Now, we have had to take our own pictures and send them in. Luckily, we are able to have a place to park, but will need to dump tanks sooner than later.

Our 30′ 2018 Vista has the perfect size, layout and storage configuration. Won’t be selling anytime soon.

My heirs can sell it….. after they remove my remains.

I always thought of camping as an inexpensive way to vacation, when I add it all up, we could have been to Europe several times. The cost of the rv itself, upkeep, maintainance, insurance and registration fees, campground fees, plus the extra wear and tear on the tow vehicle. But my husband and teenage children love to camp and I love to explore new places. We plan on selling our 2017 jayco slx at the end of the season, before it turns 5 years old. We will stay with jayco, but there will be non negotiable features for the next one such as a walk around bed, toilet on an angle and an outdoor kitchen. Happy camping!!!

I’ve been kicking around the thought of selling our 2008 Tiffin Phaeton 36QSH as reservation shortages take the fun and spontaneity out of traveling.

Our 2017DRV is already on the market. Full-timing didn’t work with our current circumstances. But we bought a slide-in camper for the pickup so we’re not done traveling!

Not looking to sell since we just purchased it two weeks ago!!

We are not planning on selling our Tiffin Open Road at all in the near future.

We are trading our Van Leigh 5th wheel on a Tiffin Phaeton 40 QKH and just waiting for it to get built. The 5th wheel limited the number of people and dogs we could travel with and enjoyed the open room of a motor home. But we have made a pact that this is the last motorhome we will buy!!

Very little chance, but I would like to change from fifth wheel to DP someday, maybe.

Yes, RV demand is still through the roof!

I’ll never get more for my 2015 4200 Cyclone Toyhauler than right now…

After the coming economic crash, (and I can assure you it’s coming) and RV lots are full and prices are plummeting I buy another Toyhauler with a garage large enough to fit my Polaris Northstar Crew Cab…

I was offered a lot more than my old motorhome is worth last fall. Since there’s no way I could’ve replaced it, I’m keeping it.

Actually, we’ve already sold our 5th wheel this year. Due to health we have no plans for a new one. Our traveling and living our Arctic Fox is over. From now on our travels will be by air and cruise ships. We had a good run and am moving on with fond memories and no regrets.

Hope to sell our TT and buy a 5th wheel

Neal Davis

We are looking to downsize, so the chance of trading/selling is growing. The probability is certainly far greater than 0, but also probably less than 50 percent that we change RVs this year. If we do not trade/sell this year, then I think the probability for next year rises to at least 75 percent and could reach 100 percent.

I bought a bigger preowned trailer and my Aliner popup is for sale. I hope it sells, but I will not be hurt if it does not.

We have been slightly discussing selling our coach, toad, and rv resort site. Being 77/75, it’s getting to be a little much for us. We have not come to a definite decision yet…just in the thinking stage.

Matt Johnson

Our plans changed and we’re only part timers now. So our loss will be someone’s gain. We’re going to take a hit on our 2020 solitude.

I feel you. we did the exact same thing. We have a 2020 cougar. We were going to keep it for part time but with a new baby we do not fit in the truck anymore.

Getting way too expensive, Gasoline, nightly fees, campground over crowding, many full campgrounds, maintenance, license, etc.

Nick

We bought a 5th wheel last year. Now we are expecting another baby and no longer fit in my truck. We will be selling and buying a large SUV or Van and a tow behind

We have RV camped for 10 years, full timed it the last 4 years. Camped in all lower 48 states. The last 2 years RVing has changed. Over crowding , and inability to gain a booking is just the beginning of our regrets. Mostly, it is the lack of etiquette by more of today’s campers. The noise and arguing/fighting, crossing through our site, or crowding into it. Uncontrolled kids. The fun is gone. So yes, we are selling our rig.
