Ive had my caravan up for sale for a few months awhile ago, but had no luck, I assumed it was to early or the weather ect, so I took it off again.
I've put it up for sale once more and still no bites, not even a ask to come and see ( well apart from one who didn't show up the first time I had it for sale) it's definitely not over priced, the only thing I can think of its a two berth, would that put people off? Do the four berth sell better, when we sold our four berth two years ago it sold within 5 days,is it the weather the time of year? Getting a bit despondent now, and part exing it isn't really an option, as we can't afford to loose so much, and the rest of the money we put to a new van will be from our savings, we don't like credit.
It's a swift challenger 2006 480, anyone got any ideas how to sell it or what I can do to create some interest in it.

It's probably the damned weather! Once the sun starts shining, everyone will want one!
Good luck with your sale, have you put it on Preloved and on the free ads here as well? http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/forsale/manage.asp

As Jax365 says the weather will have alot to do with it.
We have a really nice 6 birth tent to sell, but I can't seen any point advertising it without some sunshine !
UPDATE - Just put my tent on here if anyone is interested !

I was lulled into a false sense of security with those 10 days or scorching we had......serves me right for my optimism lol.
Good luck when you decide to sell yours :)

I would have thought 2 berths would be in demand, have you tried gumtree, its free to advertise on there or preloved but you have to pay to register I think.
May be worth a look
Are you still thinking of changing to a motorhome?

4 of those caravans yr 2006 on ebay classifieds from dealers on from £7.5 to £7.9k so I assume yours is priced well under that?

Hi murano i presume yours is the other van on ebay ?? if it is yours it's only £200 cheaper than a dealer van thats got a mover fitted the other is £700 dearer but again has a mover fitted.
All 3 on ebay have a best offer option 
if i was in the market for a new van i'd sooner pay £200 more at a dealers so at least i have a bit of warranty & get a mover thrown in for free.

I reckon you need to be 10% under what a dealer is selling at. Less a further £300 if no mover.
If it's not selling at this time of year the price is probably not attractive.
