Midwest RV Connection Inc. Consignment Sales
Consignment RV dealer in Elkhart with 38 years selling used and new RVs, praised for honest, low-pressure service.
Elkhart has two consignment dealers, and they're not carbon copies. One earns a 4.9 from 35 reviews by keeping things small; the other is a big-name outlet with nearly 600 reviews and a 4.0. That split tells you something about how you want to sell or buy. Consignment here means someone else's rig is on the line, so the walk-around matters more than the sign out front.

Elkhart RV dealer with new and used motorhomes and trailers, plus financing, trade-ins, and service.
When you consign, the dealer sells your RV and takes a cut. That means your rig sits among other people's trade-ins and leftovers. In Elkhart, both dealers handle consignment, and one also buys outright. Ask who sets the price and how long the contract runs. I've seen consignment units priced high because the owner wouldn't budge, and they sit. A good dealer will tell you what the market will bear, not what you hope to get. Before you sign, get the terms in writing: commission, advertising fees, and what happens if it doesn't sell. If you're the buyer, treat a consignment unit like a private sale. Hire an inspector.
Midwest RV Connection Inc. Consignment Sales has a 4.9 rating from 35 reviews. That's a small sample, but a strong one. They handle new and used travel trailers and consignment, plus service and trade. If you want a dealer who knows your name, start there. CW Direct By Camping World is the opposite: 597 reviews, a 4.0 average, and inventory that runs from pop-ups to Class A motorhomes. They offer financing, service, parts, and they buy units outright. Big selection and a big building. The rating is lower, so read recent reviews and ask about wait times in service.
Consignment inventory changes weekly, so call before you drive. If you want a camper van or a toy hauler, the larger dealer is more likely to have one on consignment. The smaller dealer's 35 reviews suggest a tighter operation, maybe fewer units but more attention. Neither is wrong. One shopper's 'pushy' is another's 'efficient.' Visit both in one trip. Elkhart is small enough. And if you're selling, compare commission rates. The 4.0-rated dealer moves volume; the 4.9-rated one might work harder for your unit.
Two. Both are listed as consignment dealers, and both handle used units. One also sells new travel trailers, and the other carries a full range of new and used types.
4.5 out of 5. That average comes from the two dealers, one at 4.9 and one at 4.0. The higher-rated dealer has far fewer reviews, so weigh the sample size.
One of the two dealers offers financing on site. The other does not list it, so plan to arrange a loan through your own bank or credit union before you shop.
Both dealers handle travel trailers. The larger dealer also lists motorhomes, camper vans, toy haulers, pop-ups, Airstreams, and Class A motorhomes. Availability changes, so call ahead.
