Quick answer: how do I sell my RV in Naples or Fort Myers? To sell an RV in Naples or Fort Myers, you can consign it with a lot, take a dealer's trade-in or cash offer, sell it yourself, or sell it yourself with expert help. Consignment and dealer offers are easier to start but leave the most money on the table. A well-priced private sale usually nets the most. Easy Escapes RV helps owners in Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties sell privately for a flat fee of $497 to $1,997, with no commission, even if you've already gone north for the summer.
Southwest Florida is a seasonal RV market. Snowbirds arrive in the fall, buyers shop through the winter, and a lot of owners head north in spring with an RV they still need to sell. That timing is exactly why so many Naples and Fort Myers owners end up handing their RV to a consignment lot.
I know that model from the inside. My consignment business started in Naples and later moved to Polk County. I spent 25 years on the dealer side, including nine as a licensed Florida RV dealer. Both lots are closed now. Today I don't buy or consign RVs, and I don't take a cut. I work for the owner, by phone and video, for one flat fee.
Below: how consignment, a dealer offer and a private sale really compare, what's different about selling an RV in Southwest Florida, and how I can help.
 

Consignment, dealer offer or private sale in Southwest Florida?

Here's how the three options compare for a Naples or Fort Myers owner.
What you get paid Consignment lot: the sale price, minus the lot's cut and fees, or whatever net number you agreed to. Dealer trade-in or cash offer: a wholesale number, set so the dealer can resell at a profit. Private sale with me: the full sale price, minus one flat fee.
How fast Consignment lot: however long it sits on the lot. Dealer trade-in or cash offer: days. Private sale with me: usually weeks when it's priced to the market.
What it costs Consignment lot: a percentage or a built-in margin, plus any fees in the agreement. Dealer trade-in or cash offer: the gap between wholesale and retail, often thousands. Private sale with me: one flat fee, $497 to $1,997, no matter what it sells for.
If you've gone north Consignment lot: the lot handles showings. Dealer trade-in or cash offer: you have to get the RV to the dealer first. Private sale with me: I guide you remotely; showings can be handled by a family member, neighbor or your storage facility.
How a consignment lot really makes money Some lots take a percentage. Others, like mine did, agree on a net number with you and keep whatever the RV sells for above it. Either way, the lot's profit comes out of the gap between what you get and what the buyer pays. Read the agreement for the commission or net number, any prep or minimum fees, and how long you're locked in. Here's the full consignment vs. selling yourself breakdown.
Owe more than it's worth? Consignment gets harder when you're upside down, because the lot needs room for its own margin on top of your payoff. Here's how underwater consignment compares to a private sale.
 

Need to sell before you head north?

Spring is when a lot of Southwest Florida owners panic and consign. You don't have to. The fastest good sale is a private sale that's set up right on day one:
1. List in the winter, while buyers are here Southwest Florida buyers shop between fall and spring. An RV that's priced, photographed and listed by January is in front of the most buyers. Here's the best time to sell an RV in Florida.
2. Price it to the market, not to the loan Buyers don't care what you owe or what you paid. An RV priced to the real market gets calls in the first week. One priced to the loan payoff sits. Here's how to price an RV for sale in Florida.
3. Have the paperwork ready before the first call Title in hand (or a lien payoff letter), registration and maintenance records. Serious buyers move faster when nothing is missing. See the documents you need to sell an RV in Florida.
 
What's different about Southwest Florida

What selling an RV in Naples and Fort Myers is really like

National selling guides are written for the whole country. These are the things that actually come up when you sell an RV in Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties.
Buyers will ask where your RV was during Hurricane Ian Hurricane Ian hit in September 2022. A Collier County commissioner said the storm surge topped 12 feet in parts of his district, including Marco Island and Naples, and the storm destroyed most of Fort Myers Beach. Southwest Florida buyers remember. Under Florida law, a vehicle reported to the insurer as flood-damaged gets a flood brand on its title, and anyone can look up a Florida-titled RV by VIN with FLHSMV's free Motor Vehicle Information Check. Run it yourself before you list, and be ready to say where the RV was stored. If it did take on water, say so up front.
Collier County has strict RV parking rules In unincorporated Collier County, an RV in a residential district can only be kept in the rear yard, an enclosed building or a carport. Parking it in the front or side of the property requires a 48-hour or 7-day permit, and Estates and Agricultural zones are exempt, according to Collier County Code Enforcement. The county also says you may sell a vehicle only from your own property, never from the street, swale or right-of-way. Lee County, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples and many HOAs set their own rules, so check yours before the For Sale sign goes up.
Two big January shows set your buyers' expectations The Florida RV SuperShow in Tampa runs January 13 to 17, 2027, and the Fort Myers RV Show follows at JetBlue Park on January 28 to 31, 2027. Both pull buyers into the market and hand them "show prices" to compare yours against. Know your numbers before January. Here's what the SuperShow season means for Florida RV sellers.
Already up north? You can still sell privately Many Southwest Florida RV owners are seasonal residents. If you've already left, a private sale is still possible: a family member, a neighbor or your storage facility can handle showings, and I walk you through pricing, buyer screening and paperwork by phone and video.
When the sale closes, the title has to transfer correctly through Florida's FLHSMV. Here's how an RV title transfer works in Florida, step by step.
 

How it works

1. Take the free diagnostic Two minutes, no email required. It pinpoints what's holding your sale back and points you to the right next step. Start the diagnostic.
2. Pick a flat-fee package One price, paid once. My fee is the same whether your RV sells for $30,000 or $300,000, so my only job is getting you the best result.
3. Sell privately, with a former dealer in your corner Your RV stays where it is. I work with you by phone and video, whether it's parked in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda or a storage lot off I-75. If you need an inspection or a detail before listing, I can point you to people who do that.

Frank's Take My consignment business started in Naples. Here's what the lot is really thinking.
When I ran consignment, I didn't charge a percentage. I agreed on a net number with the owner, and anything the RV sold for above that number was the lot's profit. That's a fair deal on paper. But every dollar of margin the lot needs comes from somewhere, and it's usually the gap between what you get and what your RV is really worth.
Dealerships aren't churches. The goal is maximum profit, and I say that as someone who ran one. A lot looks for a few thousand dollars of room on a travel trailer and a lot more on a diesel pusher, depending on the deal and what the banks will fund.
And when owners who were upside down on their loans came to my lot, I told them to sell privately instead, because they usually came out way better. I'd tell a Naples or Fort Myers owner the same thing today.
That's what I do now. One flat fee, no commission, and no lot or inventory of my own. My only job is getting you the best result.

Sell my RV Naples & Fort Myers: your questions answered

Is RV consignment in Naples or Fort Myers worth it?

It can be if nobody can show the RV for you, for example if you've already left Florida for the summer. Otherwise, the lot keeps a percentage or everything above an agreed net number, plus any fees, and your RV sits next to the lot's own inventory. A private sale with expert help usually nets more.

Can I sell my RV privately after I've gone north for the summer?

Yes. A family member, neighbor or your storage facility can handle showings, and Easy Escapes RV guides you through pricing, buyer screening and paperwork by phone and video. Many Southwest Florida owners sell this way.

When is the best time to sell an RV in Southwest Florida?

Winter. Seasonal residents and RV buyers are in the area from fall through spring, and the January RV shows bring even more shoppers into the market. An RV priced and listed by early January reaches the most buyers.

Will Hurricane Ian history hurt my RV's value?

Only if the RV was damaged. Florida brands the title of a vehicle reported as flood-damaged, and buyers can check any Florida-titled RV by VIN with FLHSMV's free Motor Vehicle Information Check. Southwest Florida buyers often ask, so run the check yourself and be ready to say where the RV was stored.

Can I park my RV at home in Collier County while I sell it?

In unincorporated Collier County residential districts, an RV may be kept only in the rear yard, an enclosed building or a carport, unless you get a 48-hour or 7-day permit. Estates and Agricultural zones are exempt. The county also says vehicles may be sold only from your own property, not from the street, swale or right-of-way. Cities and HOAs may have their own rules.

Should I sell before or after the Fort Myers RV Show?

Before is usually better. The Fort Myers RV Show runs January 28 to 31, 2027, and the Tampa SuperShow is two weeks earlier. Many shoppers go home without buying, so if your RV is already priced and listed, you're in front of them while they're still shopping.

Does Easy Escapes RV buy or consign RVs?

No. Easy Escapes RV is a flat-fee consultancy, not a dealer, broker or consignment lot. Frank Mason closed his consignment lots and doesn't buy RVs, so he has no reason to talk your price down.

Do you come out to see my RV?

No. Everything is done by phone and video, so your RV stays where it is. If you need an inspection or a detail before listing, Frank can point you to companies that do that.

Which areas of Southwest Florida do you help with?

All of Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties, including Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, and anywhere else in Florida.

How much does it cost to get help selling my RV?

Easy Escapes RV charges one flat fee: $497 Essential, $997 Professional, or $1,997 Premium. There's no commission and no percentage of your sale price.
