Is your motorhome advertised locally?
Imagine you are selling a motorhome in Southampton. Buyers using a search radius around Southampton may never see an advert if a third party platform incorrectly identifies the motorhome as being in Halifax.
That is why accurate location information matters. At Motorhome Marketplace, our regional brokers advertise motorhomes with their relevant local area in mind, as well as reaching buyers nationally.
Always check the actual vehicle location displayed on Auto Trader or eBay, whichever broker you choose. It can affect whether nearby buyers discover your advert.
Correct location: Southampton, Hampshire. Nearby shoppers can find the motorhome when searching their local area.
Incorrect location: Halifax, West Yorkshire. The advert could fall outside a southern buyer's chosen search radius.
Auto Trader currently displays Halifax on Motorhome Pig vehicle listings. This reflects the advertised location on that platform, not necessarily where a particular vehicle is physically kept. Check individual adverts for changes.
Honest advertising. Genuine photographs and descriptions.
Motorhome Pig promotes professional editing of owner supplied photographs. We take a different approach. Our broker visits the motorhome, photographs it in person and can discuss what they have seen with prospective buyers.
Accurate photographs, detailed descriptions and honest answers help buyers decide whether a motorhome is genuinely right for them before travelling. This can mean fewer wasted journeys for buyers and fewer unsuitable viewings for sellers. We can also provide extra high resolution images and videos where needed.
What does a visit add?
✓ Knowledge of the actual motorhome
✓ Genuine, detailed photographs
✓ First hand answers about the vehicle
✓ Extra photographs and video when required
✓ Fewer wasted journeys and unsuitable viewings
✓ Better prepared, personally accompanied viewings
How is your motorhome sale paid for securely?
A motorhome is a high value purchase. Knowing exactly how payment will be handled is just as important as agreeing the right selling price.
Motorhome Marketplace
Managed payment through our Lloyds business bank account. We coordinate the buyer’s payment and arrange a bank transfer to the seller as part of the completion process.
We confirm the relevant funds have cleared before the motorhome, keys and documents are released.
We do not advise sellers to accept cash or cheques.
Motorhome Pig
Motorhome Pig says it collects only its brokerage fee through GoCardless. The buyer pays the rest of the purchase price directly to the seller using a method the two parties agree, which may include bank transfer, cash or cheque.
Its guidance is that sellers should not hand over the motorhome, keys or V5C until they have verified cleared funds in their own bank account.
Why does this matter to sellers?
With Motorhome Marketplace, your local broker helps coordinate the final payment and handover, so you are not left to manage a large payment directly with someone you may only have just met. We use bank transfers, not cash or cheques, as part of our managed completion process.
For your security: all parties should independently verify account details and confirmed cleared funds before releasing the vehicle. No payment method eliminates every risk.
Is a 12 month warranty included with the sale?
When buying a used motorhome, reassurance matters. With eligible Motorhome Marketplace sales, a 12 month Autoguard warranty is included. Motorhome Pig states that it can offer buyers a warranty plan, but this is not the same as clearly including one as standard.
Motorhome Marketplace
12 month warranty included for eligible sales, subject to the policy's limits, exclusions and conditions. Your broker can explain the cover to prospective buyers. Read our full warranty information →
Motorhome Pig
Its website describes a buyer warranty plan through a provider. Buyers should ask what cover is included in their specific purchase and whether there is an additional charge.
Read about our 12 month warranty →
A warranty does not guarantee that all faults or starting problems will be covered. Claims depend on the cause of failure and the policy terms.
What if a buyer reports a problem after driving away?
Buying a used motorhome is a significant investment, and unexpected mechanical or electrical problems can sometimes arise after collection. With Motorhome Marketplace, eligible sales include a 12 month Autoguard warranty, with breakdown cover also included for eligible vehicles. Cover is subject to the relevant policy terms, eligibility and exclusions.
Reassurance for sellers and buyers
A clear advert, accurate information and a broker who has visited the motorhome can help buyers make informed decisions and reduce misunderstandings after handover.
A clear route for eligible warranty claims
With Motorhome Marketplace, eligible vehicles include a 12 month Autoguard warranty. A buyer can enquire about a potential repair under the policy rather than automatically turning back to the seller. Cover depends on the fault, vehicle eligibility, policy terms and repair authorisation. Breakdown cover is also included for eligible vehicles, subject to its own terms and conditions. See the warranty details →
A warranty does not cover every fault or replace any applicable legal rights and responsibilities. Cover and claims are subject to vehicle eligibility, policy conditions, exclusions and limits.
A fixed, competitive fee agreed in advance
Motorhome Marketplace agrees a fixed, competitive selling fee with you before advertising. Motorhome Pig publishes a tiered fee schedule. Both offer no upfront listing fee and charge upon a successful sale, subject to their respective terms.
Compare the complete service as well as the fee: genuine photographs, local advertising, accompanied viewings, price negotiations and whether a buyer warranty is included.
Ask for written confirmation of the commission, agreement period and cancellation terms.
Prefer a local broker or an online dashboard?
Motorhome Pig may appeal if you want to upload your own photographs, list quickly, monitor online enquiries and show buyers around your motorhome yourself.
Motorhome Marketplace may be the better fit if you want a local person to visit, photograph the motorhome, speak confidently about what they have seen, attend viewings and manage payment through our Lloyds business bank account and arrange bank transfer to the seller. Our included 12 month warranty for eligible buyers is another meaningful difference.
Our approach: personal service, genuine presentation and no sale, no fee.
