RV Web Services · Trader Interactive
The RV Web Services alternative for RV dealers
RV Web Services is the dealer website arm of Trader Interactive, the company behind RV Trader. The question this page answers is what happens when you want your own site, rather than the marketplace, to carry more of the load.
What RV Web Services is
RV Web Services is the dealer website arm of Trader Interactive, the company behind RV Trader. Its pitch is proximity to the marketplace most RV shoppers already use, with website management tooling built alongside the listings business.
What RV Web Services offers
Stated from public information about the company, so you can weigh it yourself:
- Owned by Trader Interactive, the company behind RV Trader.
- One vendor for marketplace listings and the dealer website.
Why dealers tell us they move
What follows is what dealers said when they switched. It is reported experience, not a measurement we made of RV Web Services’s product — we are careful about that distinction and you should be sceptical of any vendor who is not.
- Dealers tell us the website is not the centre of gravity of the business — the marketplace is — and the product roadmap reflects that.
- Wanting their own site, rather than the marketplace, to be where a shopper converts.

ScoutRV compared with RV Web Services
Where a cell says Not published, that vendor does not publish the information and we are not going to invent it. Where it says Varies by package, it genuinely differs by tier — ask them directly.

What actually changes
Across active dealer groups, the average is a 2× lift in unique leads per day in the first 30 days, measured against each dealer’s own pre-launch baseline rather than an industry benchmark.
We publish the individual results behind that average, including one that came in below it — because an average with no bottom half is not an average.
Common questions
Switching from RV Web Services
If we leave, do we lose our RV Trader listings?+
No. Your RV Trader account is separate from your website vendor. Scout sends your inventory to RV Trader as a standard outbound feed, alongside the other marketplaces you list on.
Which marketplaces does Scout feed?+
RV Trader and the other major marketplaces RV dealers use, delivered as hosted feeds or by FTP depending on what the marketplace expects. Feeds are monitored — if one goes stale, we know before you do.
Why does it matter whether leads come from the marketplace or our own site?+
A lead from your own site arrives with the shopper already on your inventory, your pricing and your brand, and it is not shared with the dealers listed next to you. Marketplace traffic is worth having; it is just worth having as well as, not instead of.
Bring your current invoice and your lead volume.
We will map it against what Scout includes, in the open, on the first call.
