Seller Preparation Guide

Before you list your Airstream, make sure your documentation is in order. This prevents delays later and builds immediate confidence with buyers.

 

Checklist:

• Title in your name

• VIN matches the title

• Loan payoff info (if applicable)

• Service & maintenance records gathered

• Owner’s manuals collected

• Spare keys available

• A Bill of Sale template prepared

 

Missing paperwork is one of the biggest reasons deals fall apart - sorting this early matters.

Buyers care most about condition, so it’s important to understand how your Airstream compares in the current market.

 

Evaluate:

• Exterior dents, scratches & panel condition

• Seal integrity & leak history

• Floor firmness (especially near entry & bath)

• System functionality (plumbing, electrical, propane)

• Interior wear & cosmetic condition

 

If there are known issues, transparency builds trust and prevents renegotiation later.

Presentation strongly influences buyer interest and price confidence.

Interior

• Deep clean

• Declutter

• Repair minor cosmetic items

• Fresh linens & neutral scent

Exterior

• Wash & polish

• Clean storage bays

• Confirm tires are in safe condition

• Check awning operation

 

The goal is “clean, cared-for, and ready to go” - not perfection.

Pricing is both an art and a science - and it’s one of the areas where many owners appreciate guidance.

 

Consider:

• Model year & trim

• Layout demand

• Condition

• Service history

• Upgrades

• Comparable listings

• Seasonal trends

 

Overpricing leads to slow responses.
Underpricing leaves money behind.

A great listing tells the story of the trailer clearly, honestly, and simply.

Include:

• High-quality, well-lit photos

• Detailed description

• Upgrade list

• Service history highlights

• Known condition notes

• Clear contact expectations

Avoid hype - buyers respond best to straightforward information.

Your safety and time matter. Be selective with showings and protect your privacy.

Best practices:

• Verify buyer interest before scheduling

• Meet in safe, visible locations

• Do not share sensitive personal info

• Keep valuables secured

• Trust your instincts

• Only transfer title once funds clear

When you’re ready to finalize the sale:

• Confirm cleared payment

• Complete Bill of Sale

• Sign and transfer title

• Remove plates (if required)

• Cancel or update insurance

 

Clarity, documentation, and communication make closing easy.
