53wlee53 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm thinking about going from MDT with 5th wheel to Motor home. Does anyone know where I can find the fair market value of my truck. I've looked around the internet some to no avail. I've looked on a few truck for sale sites, but thats not a good reference. Any help is appreciated.

Grassy Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I tried that when I was looking at class 8's..trying to figure out a good price.. could not find any rhyme or reason for some of the prices. I suspect the same will be for our trucks.. you have to add a bit for rarity.. I am guessing that I have put on 10K miles in the 4+ months we have been in the US (Maine to Az) and we have seen 3 MTDs for towing Rv';s and horse trailers and one was from Canada. Cannlot figure out where they all are ? Quote . Arctic Fox 29-5T . Beagle co-pilots - Faffy and Lulu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53wlee53 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 From what I understand the average RVer drives about 5k a year. So they aren't on the road much. I've seen more MDT than HDT towing 5th wheels. Maybe I look more for MDTs. The first HDT I saw was in November 08, Arches National Park. A Volvo. I think looking back it may have ben Jack Myer.

ARGO Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 The value anybody reads out of a book will not take into account any mods you have done, nor the actual condition of it. You want to nail a value? Pay a qualified RV appraiser to do a workup w/ pictures etc. I had mine done last year when painted, cost me $250. If you have a "total loss" (not crashed) like a theft or complete burn, it's the only way you will get anywhere NEAR what it's worth, on the record and by an independent 3rd party. And yes, you can take that to the bank, literally. Quote You'd have to see the movie to understand.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53wlee53 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Argo. good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks!

Cotreker Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had my HDT appraised by Deep Space Lighting on this site. He did an extensive job and professional write up. My insurance company wanted this in order to insure the truck, my semi is a little unique (pictures in tag line). Well worth the money spent, I will use this to support my future sale if ever.

ddm502001 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) May be outa line but just beginning HDT for 5ver dragging. When attained my Project I insured it to keep from losing invested time and money, was cheap thru my Farm Insurer. He has been notified truck is about to be Inspected and Licensed, First time in 8 years but roadworthy. He asked full specs and total dollars I had invested not including my time to rebuild. Ended up he appraised at a really HIGH dollar figure I did not expect yet my Insurance as a PERSONAL Conveyance will only be close to what most dually draggers cost. I am pretty proud of what I accomplished to get it here. Edited November 13, 2022 by ddm502001 misspell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have something most do not, a truck that you are familiar with, inside and out. That's huge when something goes wrong, and it will, out on the road. This is not a cheap game we play. Just enjoy the ride.
