RVS Acuity
Venice RV dealer with a 4.4-star rating and a helpful, no-pressure team, per reviews.
Venice has two RV consignment dealers, and both earn decent marks from buyers. One is small and personal, the other moves a lot of iron. If you're selling or buying on consignment, these are the places to start. I've bought two RVs and walked away from a third, so I know what to check.

RVS Acuity holds a 4.4 rating from 7 reviews and focuses on used motorhomes and consignment. Small volume means more attention per rig, but fewer choices. Bates RV Exchange has 64 reviews and a 3.7 rating, with new and used motorhomes, camper vans, and Class A units. They also take trades, which can simplify things if you're swapping. Both dealers handle consignment, so you can sell your current RV through them. Visit both to compare how they present vehicles and what they charge. Ask about their consignment fee structure and how long units typically sit. The drive between them is short.
Consignment means the dealer sells for the owner, so the dealer may not know every detail. Get an independent pre-purchase inspection before you commit. Check the tires for date codes and look for water stains. Ask for maintenance records. At delivery, do a full walk-through with everything connected: water, power, slide-outs, awning. Since neither dealer offers financing, arrange pre-approval from your own bank or credit union first. Off-season buying can give you more room to negotiate. And check the service department's reputation, because consignment RVs may need work before your first trip.
