Well, here we are, summer is drawing to a close and it’s decision time. Yes, it’s that time of year when many motorhome owners start to think: do I sell my motorhome now or do I keep it over winter? There is good logic in asking yourself this question. After all, winter is when your motorhome will lose value most and be hard to sell. So it makes sense to ask yourself the question now in early Autumn and act accordingly.

Well, here we are, summer is drawing to a close and it’s decision time. Yes, it’s that time of year when many motorhome owners start to think: do I sell my motorhome now or do I keep it over winter? There is good logic in asking yourself this question. After all, winter is when your motorhome will lose value most and be hard to sell. So it makes sense to ask yourself the question now in early Autumn and act accordingly.

Why sell my motorhome?

Of course, the thought process starts with the question, why sell my motorhome? And really, this boils down to whether you intend to keep and use your motorhome next year. If you are, then end of conversation. However, if you are not going to use it next year or are thinking of changing motorhome next year, then now is the time to act.

Why sell my motorhome Now?

It is easy to lose out on getting the best value for your motorhome when selling. Mis-timing the market is easy. After all, your decision is about next year. However, now is the time to sell your motorhome. Why? Because Autumn is actually very active in the market. Motorhome values remain strong and Buy My Motorhome is actively buying. The closer we get to winter, the more motorhome values drop and the harder it is to sell your motorhome. And if you end up keeping your motorhome over the winter you have missed out. In addition to being exposed to the elements for another winter, your motorhome is a year older.

So, our advice is start thinking hard right now. Am I going to keep my motorhome for next year? How much will I be using it? Might I change my motorhome next year? If you think it might be time to sell your motorhome, act now. After all, what’s the worst that can happen? You sell your motorhome now for a good price. You decide you want you want to buy again next year. But now you are a cash buyer. And we all know cash buyers get the best deals!
