How to Trade In Your RV in Ontario

Trading in your RV in Ontario is simple when you work with a dealership that offers fair values, transparent appraisals, and a fast, stress-free process. At Big Country RV in Carleton Place, Ontario, we make RV trade-ins easy whether you're upgrading to a larger model, downsizing, or switching into a new floorplan.

We accept travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, hybrid trailers, destination trailers, and motorhomes from most major manufacturers, including Forest River, Grand Design, Keystone, Prolite, and more. Our trade-in experts use real market data, demand trends, and unit condition to determine the best value for your RV.

How the Process Works

  1. Tell us about your RV – Provide details such as year, make, model, features, and condition.

  2. Get a free trade-in appraisal – Our team evaluates your RV based on current market prices and local demand.

  3. Receive an offer quickly – You’ll get a fair, competitive value with no obligation.

  4. Apply your trade value toward a new or used RV – Reduce your purchase price instantly.

  5. Drive away with your new RV – We handle the paperwork, tax credits, and transfer details.

Trading in your RV in Ontario can also save you money — because you only pay tax on the difference between your trade-in value and your new purchase, lowering your total cost.

Whether you're upgrading to a Grand Design Reflection, downsizing into a Prolite, or stepping into a Keystone Coleman, trading in your current RV helps keep your next adventure affordable.

Why Trade In Your RV in Ontario?

Ontario RV owners choose to trade in their units for several reasons:

  • Upgrading for more space (larger floorplan, bunkhouse, slide-outs)

  • Downsizing to a lightweight model that’s easier to tow

  • Switching to a fifth wheel or motorhome

  • Reducing payments with a newer, more reliable model

  • Moving to a seasonal destination trailer

A trade-in is often the quickest, safest, and most convenient way to transition into a new RV.

How Trade-In Values Are Determined

At Big Country RV, we assess your RV using several factors:

✔ Make, Model & Year

Certain brands — like Grand Design, Forest River Flagstaff, Surveyor, Heritage Glen, Keystone Coleman — hold value better due to demand and reputation.

✔ Current Market Demand

Popular floorplans, bunkhouses, and lightweight trailers often receive higher valuations.

✔ Overall Condition

Interior wear, exterior condition, roof health, slide function, and appliances all play a role.

✔ Maintenance History

Units with service records, upgrades, or recent repairs often receive more competitive values.

✔ Accessories & Features

Solar panels, upgraded hitches, power stabilizers, backup cameras, and upgraded mattresses may increase value.

The Trade-In Process at Big Country RV

1. Submit Your RV Info Online

Provide basic details such as:

  • Year, make, and model

  • Length and weight

  • Number of slides

  • Photos of interior and exterior

  • Condition notes

  • Any upgrades or recent service

Our team reviews your submission and begins building your appraisal.

2. Get a Free RV Appraisal

Our trained appraisers evaluate your RV in person or through detailed photos/video. We reference:

  • Canadian Black Book values

  • Market sales trends

  • Recent auction results

  • Local demand in Ontario

  • Seasonality (spring/summer often increases values)

This ensures a fair, competitive offer every time.

3. Receive a No-Obligation Offer

You’ll receive a transparent trade-in value with no pressure. If the offer works for you, we move to the next step.

4. Apply Your Trade-In Value to Your New RV

Your trade-in amount is deducted directly from your purchase.
This gives you two major benefits:

✔ Lower loan amount

✔ Pay tax only on the difference (Ontario tax credit)

Example:

  • New RV price: $50,000

  • Your trade-in: $20,000

  • You only pay tax on: $30,000, not $50,000

This saves thousands instantly.

5. Quick Paperwork & Easy Handover

We handle ownership transfers, bills of sale, lien checks, and any outstanding balances.
Just bring your RV and keys — we’ll handle the rest.

  • Travel trailers
