> Length of RV and number of slides
> Number of people your RV sleeps
> Asking price

RV buyers want to know about RV systems:

> Heating and air conditioner info
> Solar cells, wind turbines, other green energy features
> Battery specs
> Oversize water, fuel or sewage capacity
> Rear or side safety cameras or warning systems
> Hydraulic levelers or other leveling system
> Generator specs

RV buyers want to know about amenities:

> Electronic systems: TV, home theater, surround sound, DVD player, CD player, satellite hookups, charging ports, outdoor play capabilities
> Computer capabilities or readiness
> Kitchen appliances and eating area
> Washer/dryer appliances
> Bathroom space and amenities, including outdoor shower
> Power-operated and adjustable features (mirrors, visors, windows, seats, pedals)

   It is really cool thought but it is not followed by many of the sellers. But if sellers start to sell his product thinking that he is a buyer than it will be hreat help for all the buyers and minimum profit to seller.
   Practically it is very difficult.
