Sell my caravan for a fast cash offer, free UK collection and payment before it leaves

Selling My Caravan buys touring caravans across the UK, with typical offers of £100 to £700 for most caravans. Request a free valuation online, agree a collection date and receive payment by bank transfer before your caravan leaves.

Most caravans handled by this service are older, lower-value or showing some wear. That is why we publish a realistic range instead of promising an impressive-sounding price that few sellers will receive. A notably better caravan may reach around £4,000, but that is a rare exception.

Describe the caravan honestly and we will assess it based on the details and photos you provide. If it matches that description when collected, the agreed figure is what you are paid.

Sell your caravan quickly with a realistic cash offer

Selling My Caravan offers a direct cash sale for owners who value a clear process, free collection and a prompt payment more than chasing the highest possible private-sale price.

Typical offers range from £100 to £700

Most caravans bought through the service receive an offer between £100 and £700. This reflects the age, condition and resale prospects of the touring caravans we commonly collect.

You may achieve more through a private advert, particularly if the caravan is clean, modern and desirable. A direct offer trades some of that possible return for speed and certainty.

Better-condition caravans may occasionally achieve up to around £4,000

A caravan in notably better condition may receive an offer of up to around £4,000, although this is unusual.

A higher figure is more likely when the caravan is newer, dry, well maintained, well documented and based on a layout people are actively buying. It should not be treated as the normal outcome.

Cosmetic wear and minor damp do not always prevent a sale

Minor damp, faded panels, worn upholstery and small dents may be acceptable.

There is rarely any sense in spending heavily on curtains, carpets or cosmetic repairs before requesting a valuation. Tell us what is wrong and let us assess it as it stands.

Your caravan must be towable for collection

The caravan must be safe enough to connect to a towing vehicle and remove from its current location.

The wheels need to turn, the tyres must hold air, and the hitch and main structure must be usable. A broken motor mover may be manageable. Seized wheels or a failing chassis usually are not.

How selling your caravan works

Selling your caravan involves four clear stages: provide the details, receive an offer, book free collection and get paid before it leaves.

Tell us about your caravan online

Complete the online form with the year, make, model, berth, location and condition.

Include known damp, panel damage, missing parts and any useful extras. Clear information at the start makes the valuation more reliable.

Receive a valuation based on its age, condition and details

We assess the information and give you a realistic cash offer.

This is a direct-purchase figure, not a private asking price or dealer forecourt price. It reflects the caravan's condition, demand and likely costs after collection.

Accept the offer and arrange free nationwide collection

You choose whether to accept the offer. There is no pressure and no charge for saying no.

If you accept, collection is arranged from your home, storage facility or caravan site, provided there is safe access.

Receive payment by bank transfer before the caravan leaves

Payment is sent by bank transfer before the caravan is removed.

Check your own banking app or account before handing over the keys and paperwork. You should not have to rely on a screenshot or a promise that the transfer will arrive later.

How quickly can I sell my caravan?

You can request a valuation today, and collection can be arranged after the details are checked and the offer is accepted.

Sell my caravan online from anywhere in the UK

The valuation process starts online, so you do not need to visit a depot or arrange an initial viewing.

Our sell my caravan online guide explains which details and photographs help produce an accurate offer.

Arrange collection at a time that works for you

Collection is agreed with you and planned around route availability.

Tell us whether the caravan is on a driveway, seasonal pitch, farm, storage compound or narrow access road. Locked gates, restricted opening hours and soft ground can all affect collection planning.

Know how long it takes from quote to money in the bank

The time from enquiry to payment depends on how quickly the required details are supplied and when collection is available in your area.

Your payment is made on the agreed collection day before the caravan leaves. No honest buyer can promise that every caravan will be assessed, booked and collected within a few hours.

How we work out what your caravan is worth

Your caravan's offer is based on its identity, condition, records, demand and ability to be collected safely.

Age, make, model and layout

Age is a major factor, but two caravans from the same year can have different values.

Make, model, number of berths and layout all affect demand. Fixed beds and practical family layouts may be easier to place than less popular arrangements.

Overall condition, damp and cosmetic damage

Damp affects value according to its location and severity.

A small patch near a window is different from widespread water ingress, a soft floor or weakened wall. Cosmetic marks usually matter less than structural damage.

Service history and maintenance records

Service records can show that brakes, tyres, gas equipment and other components have been checked.

Past damp reports are useful because they help show whether moisture readings are stable, worsening or linked to previous repairs.

CRiS documents and proof of ownership

CRiS documents help identify a touring caravan and check its keeper details.

We may also ask for identification, purchase paperwork or receipts showing that you have the right to sell it.

Demand for your type of caravan

Popular makes and usable layouts are easier to resell, so demand can affect the offer.

Season may also influence interest, but an older caravan does not suddenly become worth thousands because spring has arrived.

Whether the caravan is safe and towable

A caravan that can be collected safely is worth more to a direct buyer than one needing specialist recovery.

Tell us about flat tyres, seized brakes, hitch damage or structural weakness before agreeing collection.

Will the offer drop when you collect my caravan?

If the caravan matches the honest description and photographs supplied, the agreed figure is the amount Selling My Caravan pays.

Why accurate descriptions and photos matter

Clear photographs allow us to assess condition before travelling to you.

Photograph every exterior side, the front and rear, the main interior, floors, upholstery and any known damage. Include both a close-up and a wider view so the size and location of a fault are clear.

When an offer may need to be reviewed

An offer may be reviewed when the caravan is materially different from the information provided.

Examples include undisclosed major damp, serious structural damage, missing components or a caravan described as towable that cannot be moved safely. Minor marks already disclosed should not become an excuse for a collection-day deduction.

Payment is made before the caravan leaves

Once the caravan has been checked against its description, payment is made by bank transfer.

Confirm that the money is visible in your account before the caravan is removed.

Sell my caravan for cash with no valuation or collection fees

Selling My Caravan does not charge for the valuation or nationwide collection.

Free caravan valuation

Requesting an offer costs nothing and does not commit you to selling.

You can consider the figure, compare your options and decline if it does not suit you.

Free collection anywhere in the UK

Collection is free across the UK, subject to safe access and the caravan being towable.

Your postcode should not lead to an unexpected collection charge after the offer has been accepted.

No advertising fees or seller commission

A direct sale does not involve listing fees, advert renewals or seller commission.

No need to accept cash from strangers at your home

You do not need to count banknotes on the driveway or decide whether a stranger's payment screenshot is genuine.

The agreed amount is transferred through the banking system before collection is completed.

What is the best way to sell my caravan?

The best selling method depends on whether your priority is the possible price, the speed of sale or the amount of work involved.

Our how to sell my caravan guide explains each route in more depth.

Sell your caravan privately

A private sale may produce the highest return, especially for a clean and desirable caravan.

You must create the advert, answer enquiries, arrange viewings, negotiate, verify payment and deal with collection.

Sell to a caravan dealer

A dealer may buy a recent caravan with good service history.

Many dealers are less interested in older caravans, damp caravans or models needing cosmetic work.

Part-exchange your caravan

Part-exchange can be convenient when buying another caravan.

Compare the full replacement cost, not just the allowance offered for your old caravan. A generous allowance can be offset by less movement on the new purchase price.

Use a specialist caravan buyer

A specialist buyer offers a direct cash sale with fewer moving parts.

The offer will usually be below a successful private-sale price, but you avoid advertising, repeated viewings and uncertain payment.

Compare price, speed, risk and convenience

The best place to sell my caravan depends on what you are prepared to trade.

Private selling may bring more money but requires more time. A direct buyer provides a clearer route from valuation to collection.

How to avoid timewasters and scams when selling privately

Private sellers can reduce risk by controlling viewings, checking payments themselves and recording the agreed condition in writing.

No-shows and repeated viewings

Confirm each appointment shortly before the agreed time.

Avoid turning away serious plans or travelling long distances until the buyer has shown genuine interest. "I'll definitely be there at two" can sometimes mean "I shall vanish by lunchtime".

Cash-back and payment scams

Do not refund an overpayment or send money to a transport company chosen by the buyer.

Check your own bank account rather than trusting a screenshot, email or pending-payment message.

Strangers visiting your home

Arrange viewings in daylight and have another adult present where possible.

Keep house keys, identity documents and valuables away from the caravan. Do not allow an unaccompanied inspection.

Disputes about condition after the sale

Describe known faults in the advert and retain a copy.

Use a dated receipt that identifies the caravan, the buyer, the seller and the amount paid.

I want to sell my caravan, but it has damp or cosmetic damage

Selling My Caravan may buy a caravan with minor damp, dents, scratches or a worn interior, provided it remains towable.

Caravans with minor damp may still be considered

Minor damp does not automatically end the conversation.

Tell us where it is, how it was identified and whether any repair has been attempted. Include photographs and a recent damp report if one exists.

Scratches, dents and worn interiors may be acceptable

Faded curtains, tired cushions and small panel marks are common in older caravans.

They may reduce the offer, but they do not always make the caravan unsuitable.

Be honest about faults when requesting a valuation

Disclosing a fault early helps produce an offer that can stand on collection day.

Hiding a soft floor beneath a rug merely moves an awkward conversation from the form to your driveway.

What happens if the caravan is not towable

A caravan that cannot be towed may fall outside the service.

Explain the problem before requesting collection. Do not assume a flat tyre and a collapsed axle are the same sort of issue.

What documents do I need to sell my caravan?

CRiS papers, proof of ownership and maintenance records are the most useful documents when selling a touring caravan.

CRiS registration documents

Provide the CRiS document if available.

It helps identify the caravan and supports checks relating to its keeper details and history.

Service history and damp reports

Service records show how the caravan has been maintained.

Damp reports can also support an honest condition description and show whether previous water ingress has been repaired.

Receipts for repairs and maintenance

Receipts are helpful for replacement tyres, appliances, servicing and damp work.

They may not add their full cost to the offer, but they provide useful evidence about the caravan's condition.

Finance settlement details, where applicable

Provide the lender's name, agreement reference and current settlement figure if finance remains outstanding.

Why touring caravans do not have a DVLA V5C

UK touring caravans are not registered with DVLA like cars and do not have a V5C logbook.

CRiS documents are among the main identity papers commonly checked when a touring caravan is sold.

Can I sell a caravan that is still on finance?

A caravan with outstanding finance may be sold only if the balance is identified and cleared correctly as part of the transaction.

Check the current settlement figure

Ask the lender for a written settlement figure with a clear expiry date.

The normal monthly balance may differ from the amount required to close the agreement early.

Provide the lender and agreement details

Supply the lender's name and agreement reference so the finance can be checked.

Do not send passwords, security codes or online banking details.

Make sure outstanding finance is cleared correctly

Agree in writing how the balance will be settled before ownership changes.

Keep confirmation from the lender showing that the agreement has been closed.

Do you collect my caravan or do I need to deliver it?

Selling My Caravan provides free UK collection, so you do not need to tow the caravan to a depot.

What we need for safe collection

The collection vehicle needs enough space to approach, connect and leave safely.

Tell us about narrow lanes, low branches, steep drives, locked storage sites or pitches that become muddy after rain.

Towing weights and licence considerations

Drivers who passed a car test from 1 January 1997 can tow a trailer or caravan up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass under category BE. Earlier licences generally allow a combined maximum authorised mass of up to 8,250kg.

Read GOV.UK's guidance on what you can tow to check the current rules and limits that apply to the driver and towing vehicle.

Why the caravan must be towable

Free collection depends on the caravan being safe to connect and tow.

If its wheels are seized, the chassis is failing or it cannot be removed from the site normally, specialist recovery may be required and the service may not be suitable.

Selling My Caravan collects touring caravans from homes, storage facilities and caravan parks throughout the UK, subject to safe access.

Sell my caravan today by starting with an online valuation

Starting a valuation today gives you a realistic figure to consider, without committing you to a sale.

What details to include for an accurate offer

Provide the year, make, model, berth, postcode, condition, service history and known faults.

Mention damp, damaged panels, missing appliances, flat tyres and any issue that may affect towing.

How to photograph damp, damage and wear

Take photographs in daylight and avoid filters.

Show the whole caravan, each exterior side, the interior and every known fault. Place a ruler beside small damaged areas where the scale is otherwise hard to judge.

You decide whether to accept. If you do, collection is booked and payment is made before the caravan leaves.

Frequently asked questions about selling a caravan

These answers cover the practical questions most owners ask before selling a touring caravan.

What is the fastest way to sell a caravan?

A direct caravan buyer is usually the fastest route because you do not need to create an advert, wait for enquiries or arrange viewings. The final timing depends on the information supplied and collection availability.

How do I find out what my caravan is worth?

Request a valuation using the caravan's year, make, model, layout, condition and paperwork. Most caravans bought by Selling My Caravan receive offers of £100 to £700, while offers up to around £4,000 are rare exceptions.

What is the best site to sell a caravan?

An online marketplace may suit you if your priority is trying to achieve a higher private-sale price. A direct buyer site is better suited to owners who prefer a defined offer, free collection and payment before the caravan leaves.

How do I get rid of an unwanted caravan?

Request a valuation and provide an honest description of its condition. Selling My Caravan can consider older caravans with cosmetic wear or minor damp, but the caravan must be towable.

Can I sell a caravan with damp or cosmetic damage?

Yes, minor damp, scratches, dents and worn interiors may be accepted. Serious water ingress or structural damage can reduce the offer or make safe collection impossible.

Will your offer change on collection day?

The offer will not change if the caravan matches the honest description and photographs supplied. It may need to be reviewed if major damage, missing parts or towing problems were not disclosed.

Are there any fees for valuation or collection?

No. The valuation and nationwide collection are free, and there is no seller commission.

How quickly will I be paid?

Payment is made by bank transfer on collection day before the caravan leaves. Confirm the money is visible in your account before handing over the caravan.

Can I sell a caravan that is still on finance?

Possibly, but the outstanding balance must be identified and settled correctly. Obtain a current settlement figure and provide the lender and agreement details.

What if my caravan is not towable?

A non-towable caravan may fall outside the service because collection relies on safe towing. Describe the fault before an offer or collection is arranged.

What documents do I need to sell my caravan?

Provide CRiS documents, proof of ownership, service records, damp reports and repair receipts where available. Touring caravans do not have a DVLA V5C.

Do I have to deliver my caravan?

No. Selling My Caravan provides free collection across the UK, provided the caravan is towable and there is safe access for the collection vehicle.
