Thinking of selling your Motorhome? Here’s How to Do It the Right Way

5th November 2025

If you’ve decided it’s time to part ways with your motorhome, you’re not alone and you’re definitely not short on options. Whether you’re upgrading to a new model, switching to a different layout, or simply not using your vehicle as much anymore, selling your motorhome can feel like a big step.

Step 1: Know what you’re selling

Before you think about prices or listings, take stock of what you have. Buyers want detail and the more you know, the better your position.

Make note of:

  • The make, model and year
  • The mileage and service history
  • Any upgrades or optional extras

If you’re not sure what your motorhome is worth, our team can provide a free, accurate valuation – no pressure, just honest advice from people who buy and sell motorhomes every day.

Step 2: Get it ready for buyers

Presentation can make all the difference. A clean, tidy, well-maintained motorhome sells faster and often for a higher price.

Here’s where to focus:

  • Clean thoroughly – think professional-level detail inside and out
  • Fix small issues – worn handles, faded trim, or minor leaks can lower value
  • Remove personal touches – keep it neutral so buyers can picture themselves in it
  • Collect your paperwork – V5C, MOT, service history and any manuals or warranty info

If you’d rather not handle the prep yourself, we can help with pre-sale presentation to ensure your vehicle looks its best before going on the market.

Step 3: Choose how you want to sell

There’s no one-size-all approach to selling your motorhome – it depends on what matters most to you: speed, convenience, or maximising value.

Here are your main options:

A. Sell directly to RS Motorhomes

  • Quick, simple and secure
  • We buy quality pre-owned motorhomes from a range of top brands – not just RS built vehicles
  • You get a fair offers, fast payment and we handle all the paperwork

B. Part exchange

If you’re ready to upgrade, part exchange your current motorhome towards a new or pre-owned model from our stock.

This is the easiest route for most sellers – you hand over your old vehicle and drive away in your next one.

C. Sell through our brokerage

If you’d like to achieve the best possible price without managing the process yourself, our brokerage service is ideal.

We’ll market your motorhome through our network, arrange viewings, and handle negotiations while you sit back and relax.

Step 4: Market it properly

If you’re selling privately, remember that good marketing is key.

  • Use bright, well-lit photos that show the layout and key features.
  • Write a clear, detailed description that highlights what makes your motorhome stand out.
  • Be transparent about condition – honesty builds trust and avoids wasted time.

If you sell through RS Motorhomes, we handle all of this for you and more. We have a dedicated in-house marketing lead who ensures every motorhome is presented perfectly, from professional photography and video tours to compelling descriptions. Your motorhome is promoted across our digital channels reaching over 1 million people a month, giving it maximum exposure to serious buyers and increasing the chance of a fast, profitable sale.

Step 5: Keep it safe and simple

When money’s involved, it pays to be cautious. Always:

  • Meet buyers in safe, public places.
  • Verify payment before releasing keys or documents.
  • Inform the DVLA of ownership change.
  • Cancel or transfer insurance after the sale.

Choosing to sell through RS Motorhomes removes these risks entirely – we handle everything securely from start to finish.
