Are there any recommendations for places to advertise my motorhome for sale? I am planning on putting it on PH but I cannot get access to the classifieds at the moment, but would like to see if I can advertise to a wider audience.

I am concerned that due to value (£20-25k) people may prefer to buy via a dealer than private. It has just been serviced and habitation checked so no issues.

I bought my 19k motorhome from eBay. Most of the ones I'd seen were around the 22k mark but another 3-4k dearer at dealers.

I sense that the vendor had a little trouble originally gaining traction and getting interest going, but in the end patience paid off.

eBay's a funny one - there are some real treasurer items on there, but we also saw some dogs. On the other hand, there's chancers on there, but also people like me - honest and genuine.

Could just try eBay and see how you go?

Thanks, Ebay is a good shout, I stuck it up on car and classic as it was free, although not really the right place it generated a few hundred views but no bites.

I am in the process of taking some better pics so will get it onto ebay. I have had a trade bid but I would like to try to get a bit more for it if I can, if not I may just keep it!

Out of interest, why are you selling?

I was made redundant at the end of February and still looking for work so I think I should start selling the toys. I am not desperate to sell but I also have 3 cars so they are all becoming a bit of a drain. I may just sell the house and live in the motorhome!

Thanks, I have also discovered some Facebook groups that are set up for buying and selling. I do enjoy using it, just come back from 4 days at Silverstone for the F1 but I guess now is a good time to sell.

This is my first motorhome, I am enjoying it so will probably get something else if this sells at some point.
