How to Prepare Your Trailer For Trade-In

If you’re looking to upgrade your trailer, you’re probably hoping to trade in your current model to provide you with some funds. Before you can do that, though, you need to make sure that your trailer is prepared for sale. Here are the things you should do before you get in touch with a local dealership like APC Trailers.

Clean Your Trailer

First, you should take the time to thoroughly clean your trailer inside and out. A clean trailer is easier to maintain and easier for a potential buyer to examine. You can hose off the exterior and use car-wash soap on a sponge to scrub at stubborn spots. Sweep the deck and remove all personal items or trash.

Perform Needed Repairs

Now, you’ll want to look over your trailer and make sure that everything is in good condition. Replacing worn-down parts will help increase the resale value of your trailer. Some things to check over include the tires, screws and fasteners, light bulbs, and floorboards. You may even want to do a fresh coat of paint to really make your trailer shine.
