Yes exactly also. There is asking which is often unrealistically high and selling which is what a buyer is willing to pay. Dealers markup pricing knowing what their bottom line is and build in what they can drop. Many private sellers see a dealers asking price, figure they can get that too and find it sitting in their yard, or storage lot for a long time. To a seller it's a unique, special almost one of a kind that's always been pampered and in perfect shape. To a buyer it's a well used, probably abused, just a run of the mill RV/vehicle, that any seller in their right mind should surely accept their lowball heavily discounted offer. Truth lies in the middle.

Soon will be prime RV selling time for what you have. People planning a spring break trip, then summer plans. By summer they will mostly have the plans made and selling will be harder. Plus as the recession deepens and interest rates rise further in the spring, many buyers get priced out of the market. Kind of hard to time the market.

Above when I said to fix everything let me qualify that to be everything reasonable. If you removed things like furniture and saved the original stuff even though you thought is was terrible, put it back in. Most buyers want originality and "move in condition" and don't want a fixer upper. Those that do accept a fixer will expect it to be heavily discounted in $$$.
