Creation of template for 'For Sale' listings...

[DeltaRomeo]

I am assembling a ?template? for users wishing to post their RV for sale. The idea is to make this template a ?sticky? at the top of the classified section, where it can be easily located/copied. What items have I missed? Done right, potential buyers will have a LOOOOOOTTTTTT more info at their disposal before contacting you - these will be qualified leads.

Thanks in advance,


Update: I have incorporated some of the suggested changes from replies earlier into the document below (then removed the replies and posted an updated copy with timestamp. Done to keep from having multiple copies of the list. dr

I would ask for the empty weight CG and from when the last weighting excercise is too.

Other than that - nothing I?d be asking for at initial contact.

How does it land?

Will that airplane make me look taller? Thinner?

How many SPG does it get? (Smiles Per Gallon).

Talking with a friend about his plane and its oil consumption made me realize another data field that should be added to the (excellent) form:
Oil Consumption: (how many hours before it needs a quart)

[brian]

I was asked about this today, and it seems like a good data point to include:

Declared Max Gross Weight
