Difficult selling situations

Plenty of sales start from something other than upgrading. A vehicle arrives through an estate. Health or mobility changes and towing stops being realistic. A storage site closes or puts its fees up. Something fails a habitation check and the job looks bigger than the hobby.

These situations share a problem: the usual private-sale route assumes a roadworthy, presentable vehicle and an owner with time to show it. When any of that is missing, owners often do nothing for years while costs continue.

The answers in this cluster deal with each situation on its own terms — what is genuinely required, what is optional, and what the realistic options are.

Can I sell because health or mobility problems mean I no longer use it?

The short answer

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons owners contact us. You do not need to get the vehicle running, towed off a pitch or cleaned out yourself — tell us the situation and we will work around what you are able to do.

Can I sell a caravan or motorhome when I am downsizing or giving up touring?

The short answer

Yes. Giving up touring, moving house, losing a driveway or ending a storage contract are all everyday reasons to sell. If a deadline is involved — a pitch ending or a house move — tell us the date and we will work to it where we can.

Useful things to mention

Any date by which the vehicle has to be gone
Where it is kept and who controls access
Whether it has been standing, and for how long
Whether finance is still running on it
