How does selling my motorhome work?

Fill in our online form, then we take care of everything: Online valuation : you describe your motorhome (brand, type, year, mileage). First offer : we call you back the same day. Payment and collection : if the offer suits you, we come to you to inspect the motorhome, pay you and collect it. You have nothing to do.

How long does the inspection take?

The physical inspection of your motorhome takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Our experts check the mechanics (engine, gearbox, chassis), the living cell and its habitability, the equipment (heating, water, gas, electricity, pop-top or overcab), as well as the general condition of the bodywork and tyres.

What documents do I need to provide?

You need to provide: the registration certificate (logbook), the certificate of conformity (COC) if available, the service book and maintenance invoices (engine and living cell), the latest valid MOT/technical inspection where applicable, as well as all keys and remotes for the vehicle and lockers.

Can I sell a motorhome on finance/leasing?

Yes, we can buy your motorhome on finance or lease. We contact your finance or leasing company directly to obtain the outstanding balance and arrange the buyback. You don't have to deal with the paperwork.

Do you buy motorhomes registered abroad?

Yes, we also buy motorhomes registered abroad (France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.), provided you have all the documents required for the transfer. Contact us so we can tell you the exact list for your country of registration.

Payment is made within 24 working hours of accepting our offer. The transfer is made to the bank account of the motorhome's owner.

Is the online valuation really free?

Yes, the online valuation is completely free and without obligation. You receive an immediate price estimate based on the information provided and the used motorhome market data.

Do you take accident-damaged motorhomes?

Yes, we take all types of motorhomes, including vehicles that have been in an accident, fire, water damage or need repairs (living cell, mechanics, roof). The offer will naturally be adjusted according to the actual condition of the vehicle.

Is a technical inspection mandatory to sell?

It depends on your country of registration and the age of the motorhome. In Belgium, a recent technical inspection is generally required for the transfer. We help you check what applies to your situation and, if needed, arrange the inspection before the sale.

Selling your motorhome: the complete guide to a fast sale at the right price

Selling a used motorhome is not something you improvise. Between preparation, paperwork, photos and the choice of sales channel, every step affects the final price and the timeline. Here is the complete method, step by step, to sell your motorhome quickly and at fair value, anywhere in Europe.

1. Prepare the vehicle

First impressions set the price. Well before any photos or ads, deep-clean the living cell and the cab: floors, worktop, bathroom, curtains, ceiling. A cell that smells clean and dry reassures a buyer far more than a vehicle that is "okay".

Review the small details a buyer will notice straight away: blown bulbs, dry window seals, jammed blinds, chipped sink. A few hours of small repairs are worth more than a discount at negotiation. Also check tyre pressure, leisure battery level and the gas bottle.

Finally, gather the full service history: engine invoices, living-cell servicing, tyre or battery replacement. A complete folder proves the motorhome has been cared for and justifies a higher price.

2. Gather the documents

A serious buyer will ask for the paperwork. Have it ready in advance so you don't lose a sale at the last moment:

Registration certificate (V5 / carte grise), up to date.
Certificate of conformity (COC), especially useful if the buyer registers abroad.
Engine service book and living-cell service book.
Last technical inspection / MOT, where applicable in your country.
All keys and remotes (doors, blinds, garage).

The living-cell service book, an underrated asset

Servicing of the living area (heating, water, gas, fridge) is often neglected. Showing an up-to-date living-cell service book proves the motorhome is sound and reassures the buyer. It's a genuine price argument.

3. Take good photos

Photos do 80% of the work of a private ad. Pick an overcast day (soft light, no harsh shadows) and a neutral setting. Photograph:

the three exterior profiles (right, left, front three-quarter),
the cab (dashboard, seats, odometer),
the living cell wide-angle (kitchen, lounge, bed, bathroom),
the details that reassure (service books, tyres, weight plate).

Also show the minor flaws: transparency lends credibility to the ad and filters out the time-wasters who will haggle over a hidden detail.

4. Choose your sales channel

Three options are available, each with its pros and cons.

Private listing (specialist platforms, forums). Potentially higher sale price, but: visits to organise, calls at all hours, draining negotiations, scam risks (fake cheques, deferred payments) and often a long wait.

Dealer trade-in. Fast and risk-free, but the offered price is clearly below market value, because the dealer needs a margin. Ideal if you're buying another vehicle at the same time.

Buyback by a specialist such as Camper Cash. You get a free valuation, a home visit and payment within 24 hours of agreement. No visits to manage, no scams, no commercial lead time.

Pitfalls to avoid

Be wary of buyers who offer a deposit without having seen the vehicle, "split" transfers or unverifiable bank cheques. Never let the motorhome leave before the payment is definitively credited to your account. Spring remains the best season to sell: buyers prepare for summer and market value climbs.

5. Seasonality, a price lever

The motorhome market is strongly seasonal. Sales concentrate between March and June, when families plan their holidays. In autumn and winter there are fewer buyers and lower market prices. If you have the choice, list your vehicle in spring: shorter timeline, more favourable price.

6. How Camper Cash simplifies the sale

Rather than chaining visits and negotiations, Camper Cash offers a straightforward path:

Free valuation based on your motorhome's characteristics (brand, model, type, length, year, mileage, condition).
Home visit anywhere in Europe: an expert comes to inspect the condition and finalise the offer.
Payment within 24 hours of agreement, with no commercial lead time and no hidden commission.

Whether you have a low-profile, an overcab, an integral or a van/campervan, the service works for every motorhome type, in every condition.

In summary

Selling your motorhome rests on four pillars: careful preparation, complete paperwork, quality photos and the right sales channel. The private listing maximises the price at the cost of time and risk; dealer trade-in is fast but undervalues the price; specialist buyback like Camper Cash offers the best balance between speed, security and fair value. Whatever you decide, prepare your vehicle and your folder before you start — that's what makes the difference between a sale that drags on and a sale that closes.
