Your Home Away From Home 🌲

My wife and I just completed our first full season of RV retirement, and I want to share the story of how we got our rig because I genuinely believe TwoTraderAuctions is the best-kept secret in the RV world.

We wanted a diesel pusher Class A, something comfortable for two people and a golden retriever named Biscuit 🐕. Visited 6 dealerships across Arizona and Nevada. Best price we found on a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45OPP: $312,000.

My daughter-in-law mentioned TwoTraderAuctions. I was skeptical — I'm 67 and not super tech-savvy — but she helped me register. Three weeks later we won a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45OPP, bank repo from Wells Fargo, 22,400 miles, for $245,000.

Same year, same model, same approximate mileage. We saved $67,000. Biscuit has never ridden in such style.

Don, wonderful story and welcome to the diesel pusher club! 🎉

The Tiffin Allegro Bus is one of the best bank repo finds on TwoTraderAuctions when they come up — Tiffin owners tend to maintain their coaches meticulously, so the repos from that brand are usually in exceptional shape. Wells Fargo repos in particular go through a thorough documentation process before listing.

One thing to add for others reading: TwoTraderAuctions allows you to request additional photos or documentation directly through the listing interface before bidding. I've done it on every major purchase. Their team responds within 24 hours and will often provide maintenance records, generator hours logs, and slideout service history if the bank has them.

Hi everyone! Long-time lurker, first-time poster. My husband and I have been dreaming about getting a travel trailer for family camping trips (we have 3 kids, ages 4, 7, and 10). We found TwoTraderAuctions through this forum and it looks amazing but I'm honestly pretty nervous.

We're looking at a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 226RK — asking price at dealers is around $34,000. It's currently listed on TwoTraderAuctions, bank repo from Ally Financial, starting at $18,500 with 4 days left.

What should I be checking before placing a bid? Is $18,500 a fair starting price for that model? And how do I know if there's water damage I can't see in the photos? Thank you in advance!! 🙏

I literally just flipped a 2021 Keystone Cougar (similar market segment to the Reflection) and for context — I bought it on TwoTraderAuctions for $18k, put $600 into detailing and minor fixes, and sold it for $29,500 on Marketplace in 11 days. The Reflection 226RK has even stronger name recognition than the Cougar, so retail demand is excellent.

For a family buying to USE it (not flip), getting it at $22-23k on TwoTraderAuctions means you're already ahead by $10k+ vs any dealer. That's a LOT of campsite fees and family memories 🏕️

So last Tuesday my husband Bob casually mentioned at dinner that we'd be "receiving a delivery on Friday." I said okay, figured it was a TV or something from Amazon. Friday morning: an 85-foot car transport truck pulls into our cul-de-sac with a 2020 Entegra Coach Aspire 44W diesel pusher.

Bob had won it on TwoTraderAuctions for $218,000. Full price of this coach new: $480,000. Current dealer inventory of this model: $339,000. The bank repo was from JPMorgan Chase.

My reaction went through approximately 14 stages over 4 hours: shock → anger → "you did WHAT" → looking at the photos → sitting in the captain's chair → opening the wardrobe in the master suite → seeing the residential fridge → asking Bob where we're going first.

We leave for Alaska on August 1st. I've already forgiven him. 😂🏕️

Bob is a hero and I will not hear otherwise. This is exactly the kind of TwoTraderAuctions story that needs to be shared everywhere — $480k coach purchased at $218k is a 55% discount. The banks just want the money back, they have zero interest in retail pricing.

Carol, one practical tip for the Alaska trip: make sure Bob checks if TwoTraderAuctions included the Entegra service history in the listing documents — the Aspire series has specific service intervals on the Cummins ISX that are important to stay current on, especially for remote travel. The 44W also has an Aqua-Hot hydronic heating system that's magical in Alaska temperatures but needs annual service.

Which route are you planning? ALCAN highway or ferry through BC? 🏔️
