Best time to sell a caravan?

[Stevemr]

We have a large twin axle caravan. Two big trips this year. Then probably looking to sell it. We would sell it to a dealer or one of the we buy caravan type companies of which there seem to be 6 pages of adverts in the caravan club magazine.
Question is do we sell it in November 2025, or keep it another few months and sell it in April 2026.
The obvious answer is, I assume April, but that does mean paying another years storage, insurance and servicing it. Total about £1300.
Caravan is 2018.
Any thoughts, insights welcome.
Also any recommendations for buyers, I am in Yorkshire also welcome!

We sold our tourer in April 2024.

Originally we were going t sell to those places that buy caravans but we found all of them offered very poor money. We also got offers from caravan dealers that were still 3k lower than the cheapest on auto trader. Although we agreed to sell to one of the dealers he mucked me about and an hour before he was due to inspect the caravan he cancelled. This was after I stayed in a hotel the night before, emptied the caravan and cleaned it.

We ended up selling to a lovely couple privately that saw our caravan on Autotrader. Super smooth process and asking price paid and all extras bought.

I suggest advertising around March.

I looked at selling our MoHo last March via a we buy any caravan thing, told them to poke it in the end as they were trying to make £3-4k off me, for putting me in touch with someone. If they'd have been talking £500-1,000 would have used them, but that's just taking the p!55.

I'd do it yourself on Autotrader etc.

I can say from recent (current) experience of trying to flog my van at this time of year, it's thin pickings. Taking quite a bit of a hit part-exchanging it but doing so on the basis the van we're looking at is reasonably rare, it's local (useful for warranty work) and at the right price point. Had a few phonecalls on eBay and Autotrader but a lot less than when I've sold vans in Spring. People just seem less willing to part with their hard-earned if they can't see / feel the opportunity to use the van right away.
