Write a van listing buyers can trust.
Tap your van’s build features, add a few details, and get a clear title and description to paste into any listing site. Then work through the photo checklist and the safe-sale tips. Your entries stay in this browser.
This is a made-up example so you can see how it works. Change the details to your van, and the listing updates as you go.

Photos are what buyers look at first. Take them in daylight with the van clean and the bed made.
Pricing tips
- Compare vans listed now with a similar year, mileage, size and build. Asking prices aren’t sale prices, so treat them as a rough guide.
- Price it with the title status and known faults stated up front. Hiding a salvage title or a leaking roof wastes everyone’s time.
- Keep the facts identical everywhere you list the van.
- Have your service records and receipts ready. They help a buyer trust the mileage and the build.
Safety tips
- Meet at a bank, a DMV or another public place in daylight, and bring someone with you.
- Take payment you can verify before you hand over the keys and title: a cashier’s check verified at the issuing bank, or a bank transfer you’ve watched clear.
- Don’t accept overpayment-and-refund stories, gift cards, cryptocurrency or requests for verification codes.
- Never send verification codes or documents through chat, and keep your messages.
- Let a serious buyer arrange an independent inspection. It protects you too.
How the listing builder works
Buyers of a converted van are buying two things: the vehicle and the build. The builder puts both in the order buyers read them:
- Title: year, make and model, “camper van”, up to three highlights (4x4 or AWD, solar watts, battery size, shower, toilet, heater) and the mileage. If it runs past 70 characters, the builder drops highlights from the end so the most useful words stay first.
- Opening line: what it is, the mileage and the top features.
- Key specs: year, make, model, mileage, engine, fuel, drivetrain and title status.
- Build features: one line for each feature you tapped, with sizes if you added them.
- Condition and maintenance, then what’s included.
- The deal: price and terms, city or area, why you’re selling, and how to reach you.
The description is plain text with simple headings and bullets, so it pastes cleanly into most listing sites. Nothing you enter is sent to RME; it is saved only in this browser so you can come back to it. Use “Start with a blank form” to clear it.
What should I put in the condition notes?
Known faults, dents, rust, leaks and anything that doesn’t work. A listing that hides a salvage title or a leaking roof wastes everyone’s time and can end in a dispute. Buyers trust listings that show the flaws, in words and in photos.
Should I show the VIN?
Serious buyers will want it to check the history and recalls. If you’d rather not post the full VIN publicly, cover the last few characters in the photo and share it in a message once someone is interested.
How exact should the location be?
City or general area only. Arrange the viewing somewhere public, such as a bank or a DMV, in daylight, and bring someone with you.
Can I list it on RME?
Yes. The Sell your van guide explains how Van listings work on RME Market, what they cost and what RME does and doesn’t do, so check it before you post.
