For RV Trader listings
How many photos do you need to list on RV Trader?
RV Trader is an RV marketplace used by dealers and private sellers listing everything from travel trailers to Class A motorhomes. Its plan tiers bundle photo counts with the listing itself, from a handful on Basic up to unlimited on Ultimate — but RV Trader's own blog recommends aiming higher than the cheapest tier allows, with each photo under a file-size limit and saved as JPEG or JPG (both in the table below). Its guidance leans honest: don't rely on stock photos, and don't hide the RV's real condition.

RV Trader's own blog says stock photos are a red flag and tells sellers not to hide imperfections. VehiclePhoto never fakes a used RV's condition — it cleans up the background and lighting around the honest photo you already took.
