The day you bring home a new RV, you are a proud owner and it is least likely that you will be thinking of anything remotely linked to its resale. However, there are different types of RV owners, who have different expectations from their recreational vehicles. While for some, an RV means a long-term investment spanning over decades, for many travel-enthusiasts upgrading to new, more luxurious models every year is the norm. A majority of the owners, however, prefer to walk the middle path and keep their rig for at least three to five years. It doesn’t matter which category you belong to, when the time comes to sell your RV for cash, you would always want to get the maximum price. For any high value asset, you need to take good care of it to optimize its resale value. The same rule applies to your home-on-wheels. Here we share a few ways you can protect your investment and command a good selling price:

Enhance Convenience

An RV is not just a vehicle – it is your mobile home. There is little wonder that RV owners expect to enjoy home-like comfort while traveling on road. Naturally, an RV, which has many convenient features, would enjoy a significantly higher resale value. For example, features such as push-button slide-outs, remote-operated awnings and automatic levelers eliminate manual efforts and ease your life on the road. Over time you may introduce more lifestyle enhancing features such as new appliances, better plumbing fixtures, lightweight and moveable furniture and so on. With more and more people opting to work from home, a dedicated work space will be another valuable addition. All these can go a long way to create a more home-like ambience and maximize its resale value.

Increase Entertainment Options

Today’s RV shoppers are looking for top-notch digital entertainment on-the-go. Therefore be sure to invest in good sound systems, good quality televisions and other entertainment devices before you enter the market as a seller. If you are musically inclined, don’t hesitate to invest in good quality speakers. You can connect to your particular mobile device via cord or Bluetooth. In addition, subscribing to a satellite television service is a wonderful way to improve your RV’s entertainment quotient, which in turn helps increase its resale value.

Improve Storage

Getting confined to a constricted space for a long time at a stretch is plain suffocating. Therefore, make the most of its limited space to give it a de-cluttered look. Add more shelves and cupboards. Consider installing storage compartments under the RV and add more built-in storage space wherever possible. Rigs with huge storage facilities are likely to attract more buyers and fetch better resale value.

An RV with a long list of convenient features can significantly boost its resale value. If you are planning to sell your RV for cash any time soon, add a few features that you think will enhance the RV lifestyle. However, keep track of these improvements so that you can include their costs in your resale value assessment.
