Escape Pre-Owned Sales Stats
TIME TO SELL
Pre-owned Escape trailers are highly sought after in the RV marketplace. It’s truly a “sellers” market with many trailers selling for above the purchase price. And the listings don’t last long, 66% of trailers that appeared on our website were sold in less than one week
*Data compiled by a survey of 94 Escape Pre-owned customers from Nov. 2021 – April 2023
Average Resale Value Above Original Purchasing Price
UNDER 1 YEAR
Change in lifestyle, health challenges, unforeseen circumstance, and the need for a larger or smaller trailer can all factor into the decision to sell sooner than you expected.
1– 5 YEARS
RV owners will typically sell and move to a larger or smaller unit depending on their camping style within five years of purchase.
OVER 5 YEARS
Older Escape trailers hold their value very well. Many purchasers don’t mind considering an older trailer as they know the quality is consistent with newer units.
Thank you message from a recent pre-owned seller
In our experience, having the trailer listed on the Escape website reached a more focused and motivated audience than the Escape Owner’s Forum and probably eliminates buyers’ worries about online scams.
It also communicates to prospective buyers of new trailers how well Escapes trailers hold their value. We got about $4,000 more than our original purchase price 10 years ago. Thank you Escape!

Interested in selling your trailer on our website? Here’s what you need to do.
- Click the "Buy now" button above and fill out the payment form. Please pay with your main email address that you use to communicate with Escape for payment. If you want to set-up a separate e-mail for the sale of the trailer, that can be added to the form where you upload your details and photos.
- Upon successful payment, an e-mail verification will be sent to you with a link to the form to upload your trailer details and photos. We will need the following info: Your contact details, Escape model and year built, VIN number, selling price, and the location of trailer. (Note: please check your "spam" or "junk" folder if you do not receive the e-mail confirmation.)
- Escape Trailer will not suggest a price. Please take factors such as demand, condition of your trailer and your timeline to sell into consideration when setting a price. Please click here to quote an Escape at its current price.
- If you have the Escape build sheet showing the trailer options you can send that as a PDF. If not, you can include options and features in your written description.
- A written description of your trailer up to 250 words. Please copy and paste your description into the comments field of the form.
- Send a minimum 4 current photos of your trailer. At least 2 exterior photos and 2 interiors showing the front/side and rear/side of the trailer. If there are no photos, your ad will not be approved. PLEASE NOTE: We require recent photos, not photos from a camping trip last summer. We need photos showing the trailer as it is now. Horizontal/landscape oriented photos work best for displaying on our website, see samples below.
- We will contact you by e-mail after we review your listing details and photos.
- Payment and the trailer details form must be submitted by end of day Thursday to be listed on Fridays.
Photography
Please supply all exterior and interior trailer photos is a horizontal orientation. We allow 5 photo uploads or 6 if you do not include a build sheet PDF. The photo gallery on our website is horizontal (wider than taller) so please supply photos that will work with our website. If you supply vertical photos we will combine two of them into one image.
Photo tips:
- Open your blinds and let some light inside the trailer for your interior photos.
- Larger files are better than smaller files. The listing will display your photos at approx. 700 pixels wide. We can reduce larger photos but we can’t make a smaller photo look good if we need to enlarge it.
- The photo samples below are a great example of what you should show with your photos. Exterior: show the front and passenger side as well as the rear and driver side. Interior: Show the kitchen towards the rear of the trailer, and then the other way showing the front of the trailer. Try to include countertops and flooring in the photos so buyers can see what types of finishing your trailer has.
- If you have any questions, put them in the “trailer description” area of the form and we’ll get back to you by e-mail.
