When the best time to sell our caravan ?
Hi all thinking of selling our 2008 Bailey Discovery Mercury Series 5 4 berth it has a fixed bed at one end and bunks at the front and it is very lightweight we was thinking of June 2012 but what month do you think is the best time ......?
We advertised it May and sold in the first week of June. A lot depends on price, but with the possibility of Euro going down the tubes, I would start advertising now.
Hi
I would look at end Jan early Feb, the Doscovery was a basic tourer so ideal for a Spring buy - for first timers too, fixed bunks and being nice and light will make its a worthy buy for most who dont want to change there car. I would try Caravan finders website poss as a starting point also e-bay

When we brought this caravan we added a lot of extra"s to it as you said being basic Status 530 Directional Aerial 2/ AL- KO AKS 3004 Stabiliser 3/ Remis flyscreen and sunblind to all principal windows 4/ Half a flyscreen to door . 5/ Microwave low wattage 6/ A 24hr Levante 500 low wattage heater 7/ Removeable Carpets . We do not think it is basic now ................
Are you packing in 'vanning or is a new van in the pipeline?

Hi We are thinking of trying seasonal out (after this year with husband not been well) but we cancelled two booking this year and transfer them to 2012 one at Easter 2012 and the other in May , and then the caravan will be put on caravanfinder. to be sold.
Hiya Latest update we have decided to keep the caravan and use it more it first outing is at Stroud Hill at Easter and i am hoping my husband is going to be ok .
REGARDS TO YOU ALL
Hi Beachball,
Sorry I can't remember but you did ever go a CC towing course?
Now May is also coming up . Do you and hubby fancy Stowfolot, PCv Forum Rally?
Hi DD I have been doing caravaning for 30 years plus my husband did a towing course with the Caravan Club and he passed with flying colours but he is having problems with both legs and lower limbs and his mobility is not great .
But he loves caravaning and fishing and i like reading books and keeping and eye on him................
I would advertise April on wards.
If you use the CC, make sure you place the add well before, as it doesn't always go in immediately.
I would also try Autotrader.
Unless you prefer ebay.
