Last month we sold our 10-year-old 2007 Airstream Safari SE 23' 8 days after
our ad appeared on Airstream Classifieds.
Part of the success of selling for us is that this trailer has been well documented ever since we first brought it home. AirForums presents wonderful ways to document the trailer's amenities, images, trips, improvements, fixes, upgrades, etc. Over the years I did this with my AirForums' thread, "
SilverGate's Safari is Home at Last!", and on other sub-forums and threads.
In addition to AirForums, there are other fun ways to document your trailer on the Internet, such as having a blog or Facebook page. I documented our trailer on "
History Safari Express," including the article, "
The selling of our Airstream trailer."
Two days after the ad was posted, we got a positive response that looked promising from a local, young family who came to see the trailer and decided after a few days of serious contemplation that this trailer would be a perfect match, and we agreed!
The transaction was completed with a cashier’s check, bill of sale, and Notice of Title Transfer and Release of Liability. I then reviewed with the buyer how everything worked and assisted in hitching up the trailer to his 2016 RAM 3500 truck. I then followed him in our truck, filled with camping items that we no longer needed, and assisted him in parking and unhitching the trailer.
