Gather the caravan details, send current photos, discuss the valuation and checks, then agree payment and collection before handover.
1. Gather the details and photographs
Write down the make, model, year, berth and layout. Photograph the exterior, living areas and any damage, and list the equipment included. Give the postcode where the caravan is kept, even if it differs from your home address.
2. Discuss the valuation and any checks
Explain damp history, repairs, missing documents and known faults from the beginning. Ask whether an initial figure is conditional and what would need checking before an amount is agreed. Keep the details together so you can review any proposed terms.
3. Prepare for the agreed handover
Once the arrangements are confirmed, make the keys and available documents accessible and remove personal belongings. Confirm who can attend, whether the storage site needs notice and what is included. Verify the agreed payment before releasing the caravan.
Caravan details that help the assessment
The exact model, layout and present condition are more useful than a broad description such as good for its age. Describe the living space and exterior, include known faults and explain which records and accessories are available.
- Make, model, year or approximate age, berth and layout.
- Damp history, floor condition, panel damage and any previous repairs.
- Service records, available CRiS details, keys and ownership information.
- Motor mover, awning, heating, appliances and other equipment included.
Home, pitch or storage: explain collection access
We welcome vehicle enquiries from owners across the UK. Give the postcode where the vehicle is actually kept and explain any travel or access considerations. Collection availability, timing and any charges must be confirmed for the particular vehicle and location.
- At home: mention gates, parking restrictions and space to approach and move the vehicle.
- At a storage site or pitch: check opening hours, visitor requirements and whether you must attend.
- Tell us about missing keys, locks, flat batteries or any known reason the vehicle cannot move.
- Photograph access from a safe position; do not move an unsafe vehicle or climb onto a roof for pictures.
What to confirm before handing over your caravan
Keep the valuation, any inspection findings and the agreed sale arrangements together. A photo based estimate, an appointment and a completed purchase are different stages. Ask for any change to an offer to be explained before deciding whether to proceed.
- Confirm the agreed amount, what is included and whether any checks remain outstanding.
- Agree the payment method and collection arrangements, including any charges, before accepting.
- Check payment through your own account where a bank transfer is used before releasing the vehicle or keys.
- Keep a written record of the handover and the documents supplied.
