Your motorhome is valuable – not just in a financial way, or even that it’s your second home, but in terms of the priceless memories it has provided you with. It’s not something you want to lose – and so you need to do everything you can to ensure your motorhome, and everything within it, are always safe and secure. That means investing in the protection some sort of alarm system offers. These systems act as a crucial layer of defence, safeguarding your motorhome whether you’re on the road and exploring remote areas, parked at a campsite or stowed back at home. In this edition of our blog we’ll look at the issue of motorhome safety, and focus on the Thatcham Approved motorhome alarm offered here at Continental.

Put simply, yes they do. Buying a motorhome is quite an investment – and for some people an important part of the purchase is knowing whether they’ll get good money back when it’s time to sell. The answer is that all motorhomes depreciate in the first year following sale from brand new. However, in general they should hold a decent proportion of their value at a resale stage later. Across the board, though, this will depend on various things including the condition. Therefore maintenance and upkeep during a period of ownership is essential. There are other factors, too.

Living the motorhome life is lovely, but it doesn’t last forever. Well, to be more accurate, it can last for as long as you want it to, though it’s pretty much guaranteed that at some point you’ll feel like visiting a motorhome traders and changing your vehicle. So it’s actually the vehicle that doesn’t last forever. You could be looking to sell for the purposes of either upgrading or downsizing to a vehicle more suited to your developing needs. Perhaps you are actually doing neither of these things, and are looking to move the motorhome on because the lifestyle is simply no longer something that appeals, or is something you can manage. Or perhaps you have more immediate financial concerns pressing elsewhere, and selling your motorhome is a way to liquidise a valuable asset and get some much-needed cash into your cashflow! Whatever your reason for selling, there are several different ways you can do it – but by far the easiest and most convenient is to sell to us!

Posted 6th October 2022

When you’re looking to move on your motorhome or campervan, there are actually several ways you can sell. All of them involve some degree of effort – putting a for sale sign in the window of the van as it sits at on your drive, putting ads up on the noticeboards of local shops, listing it with an online dealer or on an auction website, placing an ad in the local newspaper or sale listings magazine or, indeed, selling it straight to a dealer. But the most convenient and hassle free method is brokerage. In this blog we’ll explain what this means. Put at its simplest, if you decide to use the brokerage scheme from Continental we’ll remove the difficulties involved for you and sell your motorhome or campervan on your behalf.
