How does foreclosure cause trailers to be discounted?
RV trailers are viewed by most people as a luxury or auxillary item. Where a home may be considered essential, an RV isn't. In other words, sell the trailer before you sell the farm. Often, when you buy a trailer or camper, this is why you pay a higher interest rate because the chance of default are higher than you defaulting on your home. This is actually a good thing because it give you a great oppourtunity to find unbelievable discounts on campers and trailers.
In some cases, camper trailer payments can be very high, leading to more distressed sellers. Some people I know even pay more for their RV trailer then they do on their mortgage. Mortgages are generall on a 30 year repayment plan. Mot RVs are only 5 to ten years which also make the payment amount higher.
You always get the best discount on a trailer when you buy it used. A new RV trailer can loose 35% of it book value in the 1st year. People who don't put down a huge deposit when they buy are likely to be upside down for the first 5 to seven years. Owning more than your trailer is worth makes it difficult to sell it because the mortgage to the lender should be paid in full before the title can to transfered. This leads to more foreclosures and repos and allow you to get an even better discount. Buying a trailer, camper, rv, or travel trailer from a distressed seller in preforeclosure is a great way to get a good deal. We estimate 5-10% of owners have trouble making their payments.

Discount REPO trailers
Repossesed rv trailers are in much better condition then repo homes. This is because it normally take better credit to buy an RV. Alot of repo trailers and fifth wheels may be an excellent condition. The banks and lender will often sell they these for 20-30% less than the low book value. Going to a silent or live RV auction may be a great way to find a great deal on a discount. Most of the time rvs are in very decent condition, they are rarely used and can be a great buy. Try to by repo RV trailers that are in good condition. Avoid buying lived in trailers, (you can tell by the hours on the generator or inner wear and tear.) These type of trailers are more prone to problems in the long run and they are very hard to resale. Also avoid RVs with pet oders or that have been smoked in for the same reason.

Discount auction tailers
Other then condition, another important factor when buying at an auction is determining the suggested book value. Banks use the nada guide or the blue book value. Auction prices should be near or less than the trade in value but every auction is a little different. If is important to decide your cieling bid and bid on logic rather than emotion.
