The new RV Trader application is GPS-sensitive and puts more approximately 90,000 new and used RVs at your fingertips. Find a dealer in the RV Trader Dealer Network near you or search the RVTrader for RVs by type, new/used condition, price range and model year - in a specific ZIP code or by location! View multiple RV and dealer locations on enhanced Google Maps and quickly access driving directions. Each RV listing provides a detailed description, including length and stock number, along with multiple photos of the RV for sale. Look for YouTube videos on select listings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Thule at none against RV Trader's shown. RV Trader's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
