As high-quality campervans are a significant investment, it’s no surprise that many people want to find out exactly how well these popular vehicles hold their value before parting with their hard-earned money. Fortunately, the campervan experts at Landseer Leisure are here to help.
Do campervans hold their value?
In short, campervans tend to hold their value very well. However, it’s no secret that all brand new campervans, like all brand new vehicles, will depreciate in the first year after being sold.
Unlike other vehicles, campervans (condition dependent) tend to retain a good proportion of their value when being resold. Alongside being driven off the forecourt, other significant factors that can have an impact on a campervan’s resale value include:
Age – Once a campervan reaches a decade in age, it can lose a substantial portion of its value. If you’re considering selling your camper, it’s often best to act before it reaches this point if you want to achieve a higher sale price.
Mileage – Low mileage can always help to hold the value of your campervan as it signifies less wear and tear.
Interior damage – When it comes to campervans, the interior can be just as important as the exterior. This is because the buyer is likely to be spending a lot of time travelling and living in a campervan than a typical car or van.
Significant damage to the fixtures or fittings will therefore naturally have an adverse effect on the overall value of the camper.
General wear and tear – Linked to interior damage is the degree of general wear and tear. Scratches, dents, and any other marks (both within the interior and on the exterior) can create a worn-looking camper that will likely have an impact on its value.
Is it worth investing in a campervan?
In general, campervans hold their value well when compared to standard cars. However, regular maintenance, interior cleaning and care, and updating over the years, such as swapping out old appliances for new alternatives, can help them to retain more of their value.
