Many dealerships will use the Kelley blue book value when calculating the retail value of a vehicle because it is usually higher. You will find that there are low, high and medium retail values listed. Which value you should use will depend on the condition of the vehicle, what optional features it has and where you are in the country. The value in a large city will likely be more than the value in a small town. RV dealers take into consideration many factors before determining the retail price for a motor home.

After you've researched the type of vehicle you want and know the retail price range, you can set your own price range. Then, you are ready to head to the dealership. When you set your price range ahead of time you are more likely to stick to it. Some salespeople will respect your budget while others will try to push you out of your financial comfort zone. Stand firm and don't let yourself be talked into more than you can afford.

The Internet is a good place to research the motor homes blue book value. You will be asked to input a variety of details about your motor home like body style, make, model, features, year and more.

Nada and Blue Book values are meant to be guidelines rather than set in stone.
