Need Advice on Selling Aviator

[2Cajuns]

Hello. We have a gorgeous 2013 Aviator Wright Flyer Touring Edition with Classic paint that has been used very little. It was ordered new and customized with all the options by the first owner, who only kept it a year, used it 6 times, then decided he wanted a toy hauler.

We are a retired couple and have owned it since 2014. We added a hydraulic jack and towing/anti-sway package, along with shelving in the closets and LED awning lights. My husband had a severe accident in 2015 and we have rarely used it since, and not at all for over a year, since I was now the one who had to do the hook up, towing & set up. It is just sitting in storage and we have sadly decided to sell it. We are located outside of Nashville, TN.

Does anyone have suggestions for how/where should I go about selling it and what should I ask for it?

Thanks for any advice.

You can use the classified add here on the forum to list it. Its free. Later RJD

You can start with the RV Nada Guides to get a general idea of a selling price. https://www.nadaguides.com/RVs

I'd also just google your model to see if there are any other online listings. If you see what dealers have them listed for and compare the condition, that should help you determine a "by owner" price.

Aside from listing here on the Classifieds page, Craig's List seems to me to be the best place to advertise it. Good luck! I hope you sell it quickly.

Sorry to hear about your husband's accident. It's a shame you can't continue to enjoy your beautiful travel trailer.
The two main selling points (in my opinion) are the one piece fiberglass roof and the fantastic wood inside. Unless the shelving you added complements the cabinetry, I'd recommend removing it altogether. Is your model the one with the semi-circular bench seat up front? That's a very nice floor plan though the camper, at 34 feet, is a tad long for a couples camper.
These campers came with a very high price tag when they were first introduced on the market. While some people quickly purchased units, not enough were willing to spend a small fortune on a travel trailer to keep them in production and they were discontinued pretty quickly. The remaining units were heavily discounted by dealers.
Used units appear to be listing in the $25,000.00 dollar area. This is a tough sell since brand new triple slide units can be had for the same money.
Personally, I'd be hard pressed to pay that kind of money to be the third owner of what amounts to an eight or nine year old travel trailer unless it was absolutely immaculate from top to bottom.
How you sell really comes down to how much hurry you are in and how much aggravation you are willing to put up with in terms of tire kickers and low ball offers.
You might begin by listing your unit online on rvtrader.com - take plenty of photos and be prepared to wait.
Craigslist can be a good place to sell fairly quickly, but you have to be prepared for a lot of scammers and time wasters.
Finally, and perhaps your best choice is to locate a broker to sell for you. This might be a dealer that will sell your unit on consignment or perhaps will purchase it from you outright to resell. Be prepared for a very low offer in this case, though.
Again, it's such a shame you have to give your camper up, and I wish you the best of luck and a quick sale.

The Aviator was designed in 2011, constructed in 2012, and sold as a 2013. It was discontinued after 75 units (IIRC) were built.
Since the 2019 model year started this past July, this would make all Aviators seven years old.
I think they are great units, and would buy one before I’d buy an Airstream for sure.
