freenanu Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, we are thinking of downsizing from a 5th wheel to a short Class A or Class C. I was wondering do people actually trade rigs or should we plan on trading at a dealership? We have a 2008 Sunnybrook Titan 33CK-TS in great condition but my husband is physically disabled and is no longer comfortable setting up the rig. We no longer full time and rent a home. We would still like to travel and think a small motorhome would be perfect. Any opinions or thoughts? Has anyone gone through this dilemma?

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 PPL Motorhomes will work with buyers and sellers to facilitate a deal if you can find a rig you like that is on consignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 It does happen, but isn't very common. It can be difficult to match the proper RV owners in order to make a swap work. I suspect that this category was started thinking of people who exchanged RVs between different countries in Europe or such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosita Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 JMHO, but I would sell the 5th wheel myself rather than consigning it to a dealer or trying to engineer a swap; neither would be a "clean deal". A consignment sale gives a healthy cut to the selling dealer and I doubt that even a relatively equal value swap could be made, particularly since you don't seem to be sure what you want to trade the 5th wheel for. I'd sell your rig privately, do plenty of research to help you decide what would work for you, then make that buy, i.e., not contingent on selling or trading the 5th wheel.

doit2010 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Well do bad freenanu does not own a Class A Winnebago product, I own a Class C 2016 Minnie Winnie 22R 23'10" and would be interested in trading up to Winnebago or Itasca. So if Someone in the western part of the US is interested contact me. Edited October 12, 2020 by doit2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
