Selling a caravan privately
A private sale usually means photographing the caravan, writing an advert, selecting an asking price, responding to enquiries and arranging viewings. You may also need to handle negotiation and decide how to complete payment safely.
- You manage the advert and enquiries
- You meet and negotiate with potential buyers
- The process may involve several viewings
- You are responsible for agreeing payment and handover
Selling directly to a dealership
A dealership sale removes the need to advertise to the general public. You provide the caravan details to one business, discuss an offer subject to condition, arrange a viewing or site visit and complete the sale after inspection.
- No public advert is required
- Deal directly with caravan specialists
- The inspection process is explained in advance
- Payment is made by direct bank transfer once agreed
Choosing the right route
Consider whether your priority is managing the sale yourself or choosing a more straightforward dealership process. Requesting a valuation does not require you to make a decision before you know whether the caravan is suitable for the dealership.
