Tips For Preparing Caravans To Be Sold

After making the decision to sell your caravan

, a lot of preparation will need to be done to ensure that it is ready for inspection and to be taken away by its new owner. If you dont prepare your caravan properly, it is likely that you will get low offers for it, perhaps well below what you would ideally like to receive, and that it will sit around unsold for a lengthy period of time. By completing each of the below steps, you can help to ensure that your caravan is as ready as it will ever be for sale, and that those who come to inspect it are very impressed.

Contents

You should first go through the contents of your caravan, deciding what you do and do not want to sell with it. Any items that you are not intending to sell (such as awnings, gas bottles and bedding) should be removed so that potential buyers do not get the wrong idea. You should also tidy up the space a little; make it look nice by adding a vase of flowers to a bench or some fresh towels on the bed.

Photographs

Your caravan has now been prepared enough for you to take some photos of it. Make sure that you get plenty of both the interior and the exterior and take as many as you want, as this will make it easier to find the best shots. If there are any imperfections in your caravan (such as a dint in the wall or broken cupboard) take photos of these areas to show potential buyers that the damage is pretty minimal.

Price

It is now time to place your advertisement, whether it is online (through websites like eBay and Gumtree) or in hardcopy (through the local trading post and posters on community boards). Part of this process will include deciding on a price. Begin by looking at how much you paid for the caravan, how much time has passed since you bought it, and how much you would like to receive for it. You should also do some research into how much similar vans are currently selling for.

When potential buyers come to view your caravan, make sure that it is parked in a spot that is easily accessible. You should also be prepared to answer any questions that buyers may have (such as, has the van been in any accidents or how far have you taken it?). Make sure that you re-familiarize yourself with everything about the caravan, and you will be able to confidently show it off to any buyers.
