What a used motorhome is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for motorhomes, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £30,000 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £25,500 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £19,500 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £13,500 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £7,500 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a motorhome
- Recent damp report with clear readings
- Full service history for the base vehicle
- Habitation check certificate
- Complete with awning, hookup and accessories
What lowers it
- Damp in walls, floor or ceiling
- Base vehicle with no service history
- Perished window and roof seals
- Soft floors indicating delamination
How to work out what yours is worth
- Commission a damp survey and share the readings
- Walk the floor feeling for soft areas
- Gather both vehicle and habitation service records
Once you have those three answers you can place your own motorhome on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check on a used motorhome?
Damp first, then the base vehicle’s service history. It is two purchases in one and both need evidence.
What is a habitation check?
An annual inspection of the living area — gas, electrics, water and damp. A recent certificate reassures buyers considerably.
Does damp always mean walk away?
Not always, but it is expensive to fix properly. A recent survey with clear readings is the single most valuable document you can provide.
