Types

• RVs range in value based upon the type of RV it is. According to RV Coach Online, as of 2010, the average foldable campers or pop-ups cost a few thousand dollars. However, some luxurious motor homes can cost as much as a full size home. RVs are either motorized, meaning it is a vehicle with living quarters, or tow-able, which means it is meant to be pulled by another vehicle.
  
  

Considerations

• According to the PPL motor home website, if you are determining the value of an RV, consider the overall condition, mileage, and accessories. When looking at the overall value, examine the vehicle for any damages or cosmetic flaws. Also, look at the condition of the tires, engine and appliances. Many owners add upgrades and accessories to a unit. Consider the value of upgrades such as awnings, special mirrors or a satellite dish.
  
  

Function

• When determining the value of an RV, review how much similar RVs have sold for in the past two years. This should be indicative of what a fair price would be. Another option is to use websites such as RV Trader Online or the NADAguides to determine a value.
