How to sell my Motorhome, Camper or Caravan
Deciding to sell your Motorhome, Caravan or Campervan can often be difficult. It’s always sad to say goodbye to somewhere you’ve spent countless memories and adventures in. But when the time is right, you want the process to go as smoothly as possible.
We’re here to help.
There are 3 main ways to sell your Motorhome, Camper or Caravan:
- Sell your vehicle for a cash sale.
- Part Exchange your vehicle to a dealer against another one.
- Advertise privately.
Sell To A Dealer Privately
Selling your motorhome, camper or caravan to a dealer is the most efficient and easy way to say goodbye to your vehicle. In order to do this, you need to find a reputable dealer online who wants to buy your motorhome, camper or caravan for cash.
Once you’ve made contact, you’ll need to provide all of the key information the dealer will need to give an accurate valuation/offer as well as all of the relevant documents relating to the vehicle.
From here, they then may schedule an inspection, thoroughly evaluate your vehicle and provide you with a quote. You may be in a position where you are finding yourself negotiating this or going through the process with other dealers until you find a price you are happy to sell for.
A risk that comes with this method is that what you have may not fit their stock profile because it’s too old, too new, too expensive, not a manufacturer they understand or choose to stock.
The Wobblebox is a platform which bypasses this process. You upload all of the key information required just once and The Wobblebox puts those details in front of dozens of the UK’s most professional and verified dealers. In turn they then make their best offer to try and make sure they get to buy your Motorhome, Camper or Caravan in the knowledge their offer needs to be the highest when the sale finishes for their offer to be submitted to you.
It’s free and non-committal, you don’t have to sell even if you’ve uploaded your details. None of your details are provided to anyone until you have decided to accept the offer from the highest bidding dealer, so you’re safe from random cold calls.

Part Exchange my Motorhome, Camper or Caravan to a dealer
Part exchange is the perfect way to sell your vehicle if you’re not ready to give up caravanning but are ready for an upgrade or downgrade. This is when you go to a dealer to exchange your current vehicle for something different.
This is a convenient way of shifting your current motorhome, camper or caravan and getting a new one all in one swift motion.
There are many different dealers you can choose from but not all offer part exchange. Do your research and ensure you find a company who has good reviews and who are reputable.
The biggest benefit of doing part exchange is that if your vehicle is in good shape, you can use it as a bargaining tool to ensure you get the best deal for your new motorhome, camper or caravan.
Advertise privately
Selling your Motorhome, Camper or Caravan privately is often the first option people consider when looking to sell their vehicle. This is when you find a buyer, arrange and complete the sale yourself. This can be a rewarding process if done correctly, it also comes with its own set of challenges and a lot of work.
First you need to ensure your vehicle is fit to sell. Ensure it’s been thoroughly cleaned and any repairs needed are completed before selling your motorhome, camper or caravan.
Secondly, gather all relevant documentation including the registration, service history, warranty information, and any manuals.
Next, take good quality photos of the interior, exterior and any interesting or unique features. It often helps to think about what made you purchase the vehicle and make sure to show it off in your advert.
When you’ve done this, it’s time to set your price. Do some market research to identify what other private sellers or dealers are selling vehicles of the same make and model for. Take into account any damage or ageing and leave room for negotiating to ensure you don’t settle for a price lower than you would like.
Next, compose and post your advert. There are many ways you begin to sell your motorhome, camper or caravan but the main ways are through Facebook marketplace or Ebay, dedicated caravan sales websites (like AutoTrader), Facebook buy and sell groups and local bulletin ads.
From here, your job as a negotiator and salesman begins. Within enquiries for viewings and test drives from interested buyers, you will also have hagglers, time-wasters and illegitimate buyers so ensure to act with caution.
When you have found the buyer you want to sell to, you need to finalise the sale. Prepare a bill of sale that includes the sale price, condition, and both parties’ details. Ensure payment is made safely and securely. The final step before you are free of the vehicle is to register the transfer of ownership with the correct authorities.
Selling your motorhome, camper or caravan is not an easy and simple thing to do no matter which route you choose. The Wobblebox is here to take the strain and pressure off. Just upload your details and pictures of your motorhome, camper or caravan (don’t worry, we can tell you how to do this) and wait for the dealers to make their bids.
