Thinking about selling your motorhome? The first step is getting an accurate motorhome valuation. But how do you make sure you get the best possible price? We've put together a simple list of dos and don'ts to help you prepare your motorhome for sale and get the valuation you deserve!
The Dos 👍
Do Keep Your Documentation in Order.
A full and up-to-date service history is the most important document you can have. It proves your motorhome has been well-maintained and cared for, giving potential buyers and dealers like us confidence in its reliability. Gather your MOT certificates, service records, and any receipts for upgrades.
Do Give it a Professional-Level Clean.
First impressions are everything. Pay special attention to upholstery, carpets, and the hard-to-reach areas. Make sure the exterior is gleaming and the wheels are spotless.
Do Fix Any Minor Issues.
Don't ignore small problems. A loose handle, a flickering light, or a leaky tap can make a buyer question the overall condition of the motorhome. Fixing these small issues beforehand shows you've taken pride in ownership and can lead to a higher valuation.
Do Take Great Photos.
High-quality photos are crucial for any sale. Take clear, well-lit pictures of the interior and exterior from multiple angles.
The Don'ts 👎
Don't Hide Anything.
Being upfront and honest about any minor damage or wear and tear is essential. A professional motorhome valuation will uncover these issues anyway. Transparency builds trust, which makes the selling process smoother for everyone.
Don't Forget the Details.
Little things matter. Make sure all the appliances are in good working order. A full inspection of the fridge, oven, heating, and water system is a must. A motorhome with fully functional systems will always get a better valuation.
Don't Overprice it.
Pricing your motorhome too high can scare off potential buyers and lead to it sitting on the market for a long time. It's important to research the current market, but the easiest way to ensure you get a fair and accurate motorhome valuation is to get one from a trusted professional.
