Sell My Campervan

Why sell with Quirky Campers

Not only do we have the most serious buyers and the most detailed campervan, motorhome, and caravan-specific information, but we are also the cheapest place to sell.

Any campervan, motorhome or caravan can be listed on our website

Our sales page is like a classifieds page in that you can list any campervan, motorhome or caravan. We’ve had listings from basic conversions to vintage VWs to high-spec modern homes on wheels. Plus you manage the listing and enquiries. Do you have a unique caravan or trailer tent instead? You can list that too!

Get your listing verified

While any leisure vehicle can be listed on our sales page, only certain campervans will tick all the Quirky boxes. We’ll review your listing, and if you’ve got the right sign-offs and cracking photos, we’ll tick whether 'We love the style', and verify your campervan as ‘Pre-approved for hire’.

What you’ll need to get your listing up

It’ll take you around 30 minutes to get your listing up. You’ll need the following information for your listing:

• Photos (8 for a standard listing, upgrade to 38 for £6.95)
• Basic vehicle information (year, mileage, transmission type, number of belted seats etc.)
• Price
• Information about the conversion (berths and bed descriptions, solar panels, cooking facilities etc.)
• Information about sign-offs and certificates (you don’t have to have these done but you need to state if you’ve had them done – e.g. gas sign-off, weighbridge etc.)

Make your campervan more saleable (and get more £)

Photos, Photos, Photos!

Photos make all the difference in the number (and quality) of enquiries you’ll get. They’re the most effective way to get across just how special your campervan is – after all, a picture says a thousand words! Plus, the campervans with the best photos are more likely to be promoted to our social media and email audiences. Upgrade from 8 to 38 photos for £6.95.

Our tips for taking photos that sell:

• Clean your van! It sounds obvious but clean every single spot of your van (inside and out). You don’t want a bit of dust or an out-of-place shoe to distract from your van’s features.
• Use the best quality camera you’ve got access to. If you don’t have a great smartphone, do you have a friend with a DSLR or a better smartphone you can borrow?
• Only take your photos during the day. Clear, crisp and well-lit photos make all the difference. Stick to 2 hours or so after sunrise and at least 2 hours before sunset to make sure you have great light.
• Make them wide-angle. You’ll have some great little details in your van that you’ll want close-up shots of but for the most part, your photos should be quite zoomed out. Buyers want to understand the layout of the van as it's arguably one of the most important aspects of a small space. If you’re using a DSLR, then you’ll want to use a 20mm (or less) lens. If you’re using a smartphone or a camera with a fixed lens, stand far back from the shot – even outside the van.
• Don’t over-edit. There’s no need to add filters, vignettes, effects etc. The buyer is looking for an accurate representation of the van.

Get the right sign-offs

When someone is considering spending many thousands of pounds on an investment like this, they need reassurance that it is safe and legal. A gas safety certificate and weighbridge verification are cheap and easy ways to do that. We only share campers for sale on our social media that meet these two criteria.

In addition, they may be hoping to rent it out through Quirky Campers. In order to be rented with us, we’ll ask the owner for:

• Landlords Gas Safe Certificate (around £80)
• 240v Electrics Sign-off (around £50)
• Weighbridge verification (can be free or as little as £5-£10)

It can be worth spending half a day and a bit of money to get the above certificates to attract more buyers.

Fill out all the information

Don’t skip any boxes! We’ve bought and sold campervans ourselves, and have talked to dozens of buyers and sellers to find out what information everyone wants to be included. If a question is on the form, it’s there for a reason! Provide as much information as you can to make the buyer’s job easier.

FAQs

• How quickly will my vehicle sell?

  There’s no set timeframe. However, what we can say is your campervan is likely to sell much quicker with better quality photos and as much detailed information you can give the buyer upfront. If a buyer can’t easily tell if the van has an MOT, or whether or not there are solar panels, or how big the bed is etc, they’re more likely to make an offer quirker.

• Is the Quirky Campers website the best place to sell my campervan, motorhome or caravan?

  We sure think so! But we know that everyone’s situation is different, so we’ve compared the different sales platforms, so you can decide which website is best to sell your campervan with.

• Does my vehicle fit the bill for selling with Quirky Campers?

  We don’t have any restrictions on what vehicles can be listed on our platform. If you believe our buyers are the right audience for your campervan or motorhome, feel free to list it. If you’re still unsure, just drop us an email: sales@quirkycampers.co.uk
