Second, sometimes rv auctions are advertised in rev classifieds or in local newspapers. Thirdly, you could check with banks or local credit unions.

Each auction has a slightly different set of rules. Try to learn what the rules ahead of time. Also learn whether it is a silent or a live auction and whether pre registration is required to bid. Also it is important to know if the rv auction must be purchased with cash or if time is allowed to get financing. Most motorhome or RVs sold at auction are sold in as-is condition.
With newer motor homes, find out if their are any existing factory warranties that can be transferred to the new buyer.
