Aw Vikki I am so sorry to hear that,hope you are keeping your chin up.

I bought ours from an advertisement in MMM,there is also a good Motorhome section in the Autotrader.

Think carefully about the wording of your advertisement and don't  waste any space by putting information in that is not important. Make sure you mention all the extra features fitted and what great condition it is in.

Think what would make you respond to an advertisement and try and make it as tempting as possible.

I know that sounds like common sense but some adds are full of waffle and people want to hear great selling points!!

Good luck and take care.

You can also advertise it here on this site, just hit the Free Adverts box, and most of the other Motorhome forums have a classified section as well.

be careful - if it is still owned by a Finance Company. Are you in a (Legal) position to be allowed to sell it? If the vehicle was HPI'd , and I imagine that aynone parting with Motorhome amounts of money would do so, that would show up and no-one in their right mind would touch it

That is actually quite a good point, my Husband used to be in the motor trade and a couple of months ago when we were looking around at MH's we found one we liked and the first thing he was going to do was get it HPi'd as it was we went on to Brownhills and bought our new one.

Might be worth you checking out what is the best route to take.

not Hp did it on personal loan so that isn't a problem the vehicle is owned by us with no finance attached to it. We would just be using the money from the sale to clear the loan - but ty for all the advice will try the ads on here first just need to take some pics now.

Just out of interest how did you find the service from Brownhills did you get the motorhome on time etc? (As we've ordered ours from them)
