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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosback Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Heck eBay to see what they have actually sold for. And there is also truck trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJohns Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Go to horse trailer world, BEST then ranin junk which has a lot of older adds but both will give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

Double towed a Jeep for over 8 years - thus the "Moab Lifestyle". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
