The short answer
A motorhome is valued as two things at once: a habitation area and a working vehicle. Age, make, model, layout and condition all count, and so do mileage, MOT status, base-vehicle condition, mechanical service history, damp readings and whether it starts, drives and stops properly.

With a caravan we are looking at the habitation body and chassis. A motorhome adds an engine, gearbox, brakes, cambelt history, MOT record and mileage, so mechanical condition can matter as much as the living area.
That is also why we never quote a figure before seeing the vehicle. We assess the actual motorhome and come back to you by phone.
