ScoutRV and DealerXchange
Scout builds the DealerXchange import file to their published field specification, on a schedule, without anyone exporting anything.
How it works
- The file covers the 25 fields the specification defines, including retail and sale price as separate values so a discounted unit reads correctly on their side.
- Image URLs are pipe-delimited within their field, which is what the specification calls for and what keeps a comma in a caption from splitting a row.
- Every row carries a link back to your own unit page, so traffic returns to your site rather than terminating on a third-party listing.
- Pricing is rule-aware: condition-based overrides, make and model overrides, and base-price display are all resolved before the file is built, so the number that ships is the one you configured rather than whatever sits in the raw price column.
- An automated check flags any enabled feed whose last successful push is more than 48 hours old, or that has been switched on for 48 hours and has never pushed at all. Alerts are raised once per dealer and name every affected feed, rather than firing on every run.

Questions
DealerXchange questions
Does the feed include sold units?+
Sold status is carried as a field, and you can also exclude sold and pending units from the file entirely. Which you want depends on how DealerXchange is configured on your side.
Where do the listing links point?+
To your own unit pages, on your own domain.
