Question 1

How do I sell my touring caravan?

Accepted Answer

Request a free valuation using the online form. You tell us the manufacturer, model, year and condition of your caravan, add photographs and your postcode, and our buying team reviews the details and then calls you to discuss a valuation. You will not be shown a figure on screen. If we make an offer and you accept it, we then arrange the paperwork and collection with you.

Question 2

How do I sell my motorhome?

Accepted Answer

The process is the same as for a caravan. Complete the online valuation request with the registration, mileage, specification and condition, add photographs, and our team will review it and phone you to talk through a valuation and any possible offer.

Question 3

Do I get a valuation online straight away?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not give instant online figures, because a fair valuation depends on the specification, condition and history of your vehicle. Once you have submitted the form, our buying team reviews everything and then phones you to talk through a valuation.

Question 4

Does a valuation cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Requesting a valuation is free and there is no obligation to sell. If you decide not to go ahead, that is the end of the matter.

Question 5

What affects the value of a caravan or motorhome?

Accepted Answer

The main factors are age, manufacturer and model, layout and berth, overall condition inside and out, damp readings, service and habitation history, mileage for motorhomes, and current demand for that type of vehicle. Accurate information and clear photographs help us assess a vehicle properly first time.

Question 6

What paperwork do I need to sell a caravan or motorhome?

Accepted Answer

Typically proof of ownership, the CRiS document for a touring caravan or the V5C for a motorhome, service and habitation service records where you have them, handbooks, keys and any warranty documentation. Our team will confirm exactly what is needed for your vehicle before completion.

Question 7

Do you buy across the whole of the UK?

Accepted Answer

We operate nationally across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Your postcode is used to plan collection logistics, so it is worth entering it accurately.

Question 8

Can I sell a vehicle that still has outstanding finance?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles with outstanding finance can usually still be sold, but the settlement figure has to be handled correctly as part of the sale. Tell us about any finance in your valuation request so we can explain how it would work in your case.

Question 9

Do you buy caravans with damp or damage?

Accepted Answer

Please tell us about any damp readings, water ingress or damage in your valuation request and add photographs. Our buying team will confirm whether we are able to purchase your particular vehicle.

Question 10

What happens when you inspect the vehicle?

Accepted Answer

An inspection confirms that the vehicle matches the information provided — identity and documentation, condition inside and out, damp readings, and mechanical condition for motorhomes. Accurate details up front mean fewer surprises at this stage.

Question 11

How does collection work?

Accepted Answer

Once an offer is accepted and the paperwork is agreed, collection is arranged with you at a time and place that suits. We collect from homes, storage sites and campsites across the UK, and confirm the date, the driver and the payment arrangements with you in writing beforehand.

Question 12

Is it better to sell privately or to a buying service?

Accepted Answer

Selling privately can achieve a higher headline figure but means advertising, photography, fielding enquiries, hosting viewings, negotiating and managing payment security yourself, often over weeks or months. A buying service trades some of that headline figure for a single point of contact, a defined process and collection. Which is better depends on how much time and hassle you want to take on.

Question 13

How do I sell an inherited caravan or motorhome?

Accepted Answer

Start with the valuation form and tell us what you know about the vehicle — even partial details help. We can explain what proof of ownership and probate documentation is normally needed, and work at whatever pace suits you.

Question 14

Who are we?

Accepted Answer

We are a UK caravan and motorhome buying service operated by AM Caravans Carlisle Limited, company number 15820714, from our registered office in Harker, Carlisle. We buy directly from private owners nationwide rather than acting as a broker. Full details are on our About page.
