if its a good deal & nice van its worth travelling imho...

id not sell to a dealer , private every time and id include all the gear (as a carrot to entice a buyer) but reflect the extras in the price..

a motor mover is a good selling point but add a few hundred to your price to cover it..

good luck

I've recently been looking to buy a second hand Isabella awning and have been looking in the following places  :

ebay, of course, Pre-loved, UKCampsite and The Caravan Club,

Hope this helps, Shirley

P,S. We have just found exactly what we need from the Caravan Club classifieds ! Picking it up on Saturday

If you weren't in Renfrewshire I'd buy it off you! Unfortunately, Renfrewshire is rather far away from Central England...

We did exactly that Gaz mc
Saw a van we liked on the web , did all the paperwork checks etc before we saw it. Travelled down and viewed the van had a little haggle and had a two nighter on the way back.
Got a bargain and had a nice break at the same time.
Obviously the seller has to be forthcoming and flexible to make it work.

I'd definitely sell the awning & mover separately, they don't seem to add value as part of a deal, sadly I doubt you'll get very much for them, many Isabellas go for around £200 on eBay, not sure about the mover, we had one given to us and then bought the control panel & remote (2nd hand) for £80.

Make sure you are certain about selling up first though, I know of 2 couples who have both sold everything this year and are regretting it and can now not afford to buy anything anywhere near as nice as what they sold.

Maybe you will get a bit more for your awning, we have bought an isabella 2nd hand for £200 then sold it for £150 when we changed the van but not sure how much it was new and a few weeks ago bought a Quest Palace Elite (same as isabella forum) that was brand new in April costing £1025, used once and we paid £200, the curtains, extra panel & pegs are still in their original unopened packaging.

It may be worth waiting until the winter months to sell it as the market is flooded with awnings at this time of year.

Good idea to keep your mover for a future van.

Enjoy your future hols up in Orkney.

Don't sell anything for at least 5 years.......

..............................just in case you take it up again - it gets expensive the second time around, trust me.
