Imperial Coach, LLC
Family-run Dayton RV dealer with a 5.0 rating from 17 reviews, known for honest motorhome sales and consignment.
Consignment selling works differently from a straight trade, and Ohio has eight dealers that handle it. That means your rig sits on someone else's pavement while they market it, and you settle up when it sells. The upside is a wider pool of buyers than your driveway gets. The catch is that you and the dealer have to agree on price, terms and who covers what if something breaks while it waits.

You keep the title. The dealer displays the RV, fields the calls and handles the walk-throughs, then takes a cut when it moves. Six of the eight Ohio dealers on this list also buy inventory outright, which is worth asking about. If a dealer offers to purchase your unit, compare that number against the consignment estimate before you sign anything. The outright offer is usually lower but it is finished the same day. Ask what happens to your rig if it sits past an agreed window, and get the commission and any floorplan or storage charge in writing. Used inventory dominates all eight dealers, so consignment RVs compete with a lot of similar stock on the same pavement. Pricing yours sensibly matters more than it would at a small standalone lot.
The big names carry the volume. Camping World runs locations in Rossford and Akron, with 1,549 and 2,689 reviews respectively, and Forest River RV | Camping World adds another 1,001. Those three handle new and used across motorhomes, travel trailers, camper vans, toy haulers, pop-ups, Airstreams and Class A units, and all offer financing, service, parts and consignment. Smaller operations are worth a look too. Imperial Coach in the Columbus area holds a 5.0 rating from 17 reviews, and Camper Care and MIG RV & Marine Supercenter round out the list. Five of the eight offer financing, which helps if you are buying rather than selling.
A consigned unit is still a used unit. The seller usually has no warranty obligation and may know less about the RV than a dealer trade-in would, so a pre-purchase inspection by an independent RV tech is money well spent. Check the tires for date codes, run every appliance, and look at the roof and seams. Confirm the dealer has a clear title in hand before you put down a deposit. Financing is available at five of the eight dealers, but getting pre-approved at your own bank first gives you a number to compare against. Off-season shopping tends to bring more room to negotiate.
Eight dealers in the state handle consignment, and all eight carry used inventory. Six of them also buy RVs outright, so you can compare a straight purchase offer against consigning if you want to sell quickly.
Five of the eight do. That covers the buyer side, not the seller side. If you are the one buying, a pre-approval from your own bank gives you a rate to compare before you sit down at the desk.
The mix leans toward travel trailers at seven dealers, motorhomes and Class A units at six each, and pop-ups at six. Camper vans and toy haulers show up at five dealers apiece, Airstream at five. Teardrops are rare, just one dealer.
Imperial Coach holds a 5.0 from 17 reviews. Camping World in Rossford and Camper Care each sit at 4.5, though Rossford's figure comes from 1,549 reviews and Camper Care's from 153. The state average across all eight is 4.2.
