Is selling an RV on consignment a good idea?
Consignment is a good option if you don’t want to bother with advertising, handling inquiries, and showing the RV yourself. Working with a dealer widens your net – your RV will have more exposure, and you’ll be able to consider buyers who need financing since the dealer will manage that aspect of the sale.[6]

Overcharging. If you leave your RV battery plugged in after it’s fully charged, it can deplete the cells’ electrolyte levels. This can lead to reduced battery life unless you have a newer RV converter with a three or four-stage charging process called a smart charger or if you’ve attached a battery tender.[7]
