ToggleWhat Is CW Auctions?
In-person or online, CW Auctions uniquely allows buyers to bid and buy preowned units from anywhere, with hundreds of options to choose from.
CW Auctions hosts physical events at locations across the country, with preowned units posted online in the weeks leading up to the auction. Prospective buyers may view and make maximum pre-bids on units they’re interested in.
Bidding goes live on the auction’s opening day, with real-time bids and maximum pre-bids competing until the highest offer wins. Winners then work with auction specialists to claim their RV. Options include claiming the RV at the auction site or coordinating delivery at competitive delivery rates.

Inventory at CW Auctions
CW Auctions sources a wide selection of preowned RVs from various dealerships for each event, including towable and motorized RVs from different manufacturers. You can find the inventory for each auction online in the weeks leading up to the event. You can find RV specs, floorplan details, condition reports, photos, location info, and more.
CW Auction Financing
Upon winning a unit, buyers have the option to finance their purchases. If a bid is accepted and the buyer is interested in financing, they will work with an auction specialist to take the next steps. However, it’s important to note that all sales are final, and a winning bid does not automatically guarantee financing.
