For me, a big factor of buying used was who the seller was - could I trust them to be honest about condition, did I like their upgrades, etc. I owned a 2009 13B bought from my cousin and a 2011 17B...

You could sign up with hipcamp.com as a provider. It's like AirBnB for camp sites. I've stayed at 3 in WA; it's national.
One was a full hook up at somebody's house.

Isn't close to $15,000 high for a 2004 17B? I have a 2011 17B that's had upgrades and thought I'd sell in a few years for $18,000...am I pricing too low?

I've liked HipCamp.com. used 3 different hosts camps: $30, 35, and 40 a night. The latter was full hook-up. They all vary in space, privacy, and price.
