It’s easy to postpone selling your caravan. If you’re just keeping it on your drive, it’s tempting to forget about it and avoid the admin that comes with selling.
However, this isn’t always a wise move. If you know you’re not going to use your caravan again, it might be best to sell up soon. Not only could the value of your caravan go down with age, but keeping it sitting there probably won’t do wonders for its condition — which can also impact its selling price.
It’s also important to remember that there are sometimes better and worse times of the year to try selling your caravan, as we will discuss in more detail.
When should I sell my caravan?
The simple answer to this question is — whenever someone wants to buy it (for a good price)! Just make sure your buyer is offering honest and fair pricing, like us. You’ll always find someone to buy your caravan if you’re giving it away for pennies!
While there are generally acknowledged ‘good’ and ‘bad’ times to sell a caravan, at the end of the day, if someone wants to purchase your caravan for a price that you’re happy with, then that’s a pretty good time to sell up.
When people refer to the best time of year to sell a caravan, they’re talking about times you’re more likely to receive offers because of a greater demand for caravans. If someone offers a great deal, don’t feel like you need to wait around.
Caravan selling and buying season
This being said, you’re more likely to get lots of offers for your caravan in the period between January and May, or springtime in the UK.
The brighter weather gets people thinking about their travelling plans for the year ahead and they start making arrangements for their summer holidays. It’s at this time of the year that most people turn their caravan-owning dreams into reality and feel inspired to take the plunge.
However, the above point is only relevant to individual families and caravan buyers looking to buy just one caravan. As companies that buy caravans will want to stock a wide range of caravans ahead of caravan-buying season, they should be willing to buy your caravan regardless of the time of year. They might even prefer buying in the off-season if they only have limited storage space or need to replenish their stock.
At National Touring Caravan Buyer, we’re in the business of purchasing caravans, so we buy all year round. Contact us for a free caravan valuation today.
Another benefit of selling to a caravan buyer is that, unlike individual recreational buyers, they will be willing to take a wide range of caravan makes and models. Some companies will be pickier about the condition of your caravan than others, but you have a good chance of finding a buyer. For example, we buy any touring caravan and even accept damp caravans.
