FAQs

How do I get a value for a trailer? ›

Find a dealer, manufacturer, or mechanic near you who is willing to do appraisals. Have this person evaluate your trailer and break down why they came to the conclusion they did. If you're satisfied with their reasoning, start with that as an asking price.

The gross margins for your utility trailers selling and manufacturing business are typically around 30%, which can make it more challenging to incur new expenses and maintain profitability.

Kelley Blue Book Travel Trailer/RV Valuation

Kelley Blue Book is a trusted resource for determining the value of traditional automotive vehicles. However, unfortunately, they do not offer a dedicated valuation service for RVs on their website or in their printed guides.

Search units by year, make and model to find trade-in and retail value. Outside of the official NADA value, there are other sites that will help you determine your RV trade-in value. Use RV Trader's Price Checker and Good Sam's RV Valuator for a better idea of how much your unit is worth.

As a rule of thumb, 5% is a low margin, 10% is a healthy margin, and 20% is a high margin. But a one-size-fits-all approach isn't the best way to set goals for your business profitability. First, some companies are inherently high-margin or low-margin ventures. For instance, grocery stores and retailers are low-margin.

You need to know that RVs usually have huge markups that can go above 50% so dealers can be able to reduce the price if you negotiate well. Because they will still be making a big profit even when they give you a discount. It's possible for you to negotiate a 25% discount on a travel trailer from a private seller.

A gross profit margin of over 50% is healthy for most businesses. In some industries and business models, a gross margin of up to 90% can be achieved. Gross margins of less than 30% can be dangerous for businesses with high gross costs.

Depreciation and Resale Value

Like cars, trailers depreciate once you drive them off the lot. For example, a popular rule of thumb for cars says that they lose about 20% or more of their value in the first year. Trailers also depreciate, so a new model will be worth less than you paid almost immediately.
