If you're handling a loved one's estate in Florida and there's an RV in the mix — this one's for you.

Most guides written for executors focus on real estate and financial accounts. The RV sitting in a storage facility gets a paragraph, if that. But the process for selling an inherited RV in Florida has its own rules, its own DMV documents, and its own timeline — and most executors discover this only after they've already made a commitment to a buyer.

Here's what you actually need to know:

✅ Only the court-appointed Personal Representative can legally sell the RV — not a surviving spouse, not an adult child, not whoever's named in the will
✅ You do NOT have to wait for probate to close — you can sell as soon as your Letters of Testamentary are issued
✅ Florida requires 4–6 specific DMV documents for an estate title transfer — different from a standard private sale
✅ The #1 delay I see? A family member lists the RV before the PR is formally appointed. The deal falls apart at title transfer.

I put together a complete step-by-step guide — from locating the title through to a closed sale — written specifically for Florida.

Two weeks until the summer market softens significantly. If you want to sell before then — or at least get a serious offer in hand — the next 10 days are what you have.
I offer a free 20-minute call for sellers who are still in the window and want to use it correctly. We'll assess your current position and figure out what can realistically be done in the time available.
No pressure. Just an honest conversation about your options.
Book here:

I only take 2 new consultation calls per week. Not because I want to be difficult—because I've learned that giving someone focused attention delivers better results than rushing through 10 calls. When we talk, you get my complete focus, 25 years of experience, and a custom strategy for YOUR

The summer market is quiet right now. But the buyers who are still looking in July are serious — they're not browsing, they're deciding.
If you have an RV listed and it's been slow, send me a DM. Tell me the year, make, model, your asking price, and how long it's been listed.
I'll tell you honestly whether your listing is ready for the buyers who are actively looking right now — and what I'd change if it isn't.

The summer slowdown is here. But fall is coming fast — and the sellers who close in September are the ones who prepared in August.

If you owe more on your RV than it's worth — do this math before you sign a consignment agreement.

A 15% commission doesn't come out of profit when you're underwater. It comes out of a hole that's already deep.

If you're close to giving up on your sale — accepting a dealer offer, pulling the listing, or just letting it sit indefinitely — send me a DM before you do.
I've had sellers contact me who were 3 weeks from accepting thousands less than market value. In several of those cases, the fix was simple and the timeline was still workable.
I won't always be able to help. But I'll always tell you honestly what I see. Year, make, model, where you're at — send it. I'll respond today.

⏱ How long does it actually take to sell an upside down RV in Florida?

Most owners have no idea — and that uncertainty costs them thousands in holding cost while they figure it out.

Here are the real numbers:

🔵 Private sale — 14 to 45 days (when priced right from day one)
🟠 Short sale — 60 to 120 days (lender negotiation adds time but can eliminate the deficiency)
🟢 Consignment — 60 to 180 days (hands-off but slowest, and commission eats into thin margins)
🔴 Voluntary surrender — 30 to 60 days (fast exit, 7-year financial consequence)

The strategy you pick determines the timeline. The timeline determines how much holding cost you absorb. And holding cost — payment + insurance + storage — runs $1,000 to $1,200 per month while you decide.

🔴 Underwater on your RV loan? Here's the math dealers won't show you.

If you owe more than your RV is worth, you have two options: consign it with a dealer or sell it privately. Most sellers assume consignment is easier so they go that route.

Big mistake.

Here's what actually happens:

📊 Scenario: You owe $68,000. Your RV is worth $54,000. You're $14,000 underwater.

→ Consignment at 15% commission:
Net proceeds: $45,100
Gap you pay out of pocket: $22,900

→ Guided private sale:
Net proceeds: $52,853
Gap you pay out of pocket: $15,147

Difference: $7,753 stays in YOUR pocket.

On a larger RV or higher commission rate, that gap widens to $15,000–$22,000.

I spent 9 years running a licensed Florida RV consignment lot. I know exactly how the math works — and why most underwater sellers are better off with a private sale and the right guidance.
