Sell my caravan in Melton Mowbray when it is sitting unused at Welby or Stathern storage yards
Melton Mowbray sits between the A606 and A607, with touring caravans kept at places such as Welby and Stathern and around the surrounding villages. When a tourer has spent another year sitting there rather than travelling, putting off the decision can become harder than making it. Scrap My Caravan buys suitable touring caravans from owners in Melton Mowbray and the surrounding area.
Selling your touring caravan in Melton Mowbray starts with the right details
A caravan does not need to be showroom-ready to be considered. We buy touring caravans in usable condition, including some with minor damp or minor damage.
Tell us the make, model, age, berth, layout and general condition. Include known damp, soft flooring, body damage, service history, paperwork and fitted extras. If the caravan is stored somewhere with restricted access, mention that too.
We buy the caravan as it stands. We do not repair, refurbish or treat damp before buying it.
What makes a touring caravan suitable to buy
We are looking for touring caravans that can be purchased as caravans rather than units needing major recovery or disposal work.
A caravan with ordinary age and wear, or some minor damp or damage, can still be considered. A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is different and falls into paid disposal instead.
Welby and Stathern storage yards: where Melton Mowbray caravans are kept
Storage is often why an unused caravan becomes a job that keeps getting postponed.
Welby Storage on Top Road in Welby is less than two miles from Melton Mowbray town centre. It is a family-run caravan and motorhome storage yard with CCTV, a double electronic gate and an on-site wash bay.
Station Yard Leisure Storage on Stathern Lane is a CaSSOA Gold-accredited caravan and motorhome storage site in the Vale of Belvoir, roughly midway between Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray and Nottingham.
These are examples of where local tourers may be kept. Collection still depends on the caravan being suitable and the access arrangements being clear.
Welby Storage near the town centre
When a caravan is sitting at Welby, give us the storage location and any access arrangements you know about. Clear photographs should show the actual caravan and its current condition.
Station Yard Leisure Storage in Stathern
For a caravan kept at Stathern, tell us the exact location and any site restrictions. This helps us plan collection properly rather than discovering an access problem later.
Farm-kept tourers around the Vale of Belvoir
Some tourers around the rural and agricultural area are kept on farms or private land rather than commercial storage yards. That is not automatically a problem, but we need the actual location, access information and condition before confirming the purchase.
Caravan buyers Melton Mowbray: what we need before confirming an offer
The awkward details are often the useful details. A caravan can look tidy in one photograph while having damp, soft flooring or body damage that affects its value.
Clear photos of the caravan
Clear photographs are required before any quote is confirmed.
Take photos of the whole caravan from each side, plus the front, rear and roofline where possible. Include the lounge, kitchen, washroom, sleeping areas, tyres and visible exterior details.
Photos of any damp or damage
Photograph every known problem, including damp, soft areas, damaged panels, leaks or other defects.
Hiding damage does not help. If the condition differs from the information supplied, the offer may need to change when the caravan is seen. Good photographs make the initial assessment more realistic.
Make, model, age and condition
Include the make, model, year, berth and layout. Tell us about service history, paperwork, fitted extras and any known finance.
If it has a motor mover, awning, alarm, solar equipment or other accessories, mention them. Tyre age and recent servicing can also be useful.
Is your caravan actually towable?
Owners often describe a caravan as "towable" when it is not. Having wheels and a tow hitch does not automatically make an old caravan safe to tow.
Why owners sometimes mistake condition for towability
A caravan that moved normally several years ago cannot automatically be assumed to be towable today. Long periods of storage can affect tyres, brakes and running gear, while serious chassis problems can make towing unsafe.
Tell us about any known problems rather than guessing about the caravan's condition.
When failed towing condition means paid disposal
A failed chassis or caravan that will not tow falls outside our purchase criteria.
It can instead be dealt with as a paid disposal job, where the customer pays us for disposal rather than receiving money for the caravan.
Value my caravan Melton Mowbray: what affects the amount offered
The value of a touring caravan depends on the caravan itself, not simply its make or age.
Most suitable caravans we buy are in the £100 to £700 range. A genuinely good tourer can be worth more, but £2,000 is a ceiling rather than a normal expectation.
Caravan valuation Melton Mowbray: how the buying process works
The process starts with information rather than a dealership appointment. Send the caravan details, photographs and condition information, and we review them before making an offer where the caravan fits our criteria.
Send the details and photographs
Start with the basic caravan details and clear photographs. Show us the good bits and the bad bits, including any damp or damage.
If the caravan is stored at Welby, Stathern or another location, give us that information too.
Review the information
We use the details and photographs to assess whether the caravan is suitable and what offer is appropriate. Accurate information at the start helps avoid surprises later.
Receive the purchase offer
If the caravan is suitable, we will make an offer based on the information provided.
Our collection diary is heavily booked. If you decide to accept, confirming within 24 hours gives you the best chance of keeping the next available collection slot.
A606, A607 and the villages around Melton Mowbray
The A606 and A607 cross in Melton Mowbray. The A606 runs towards Nottingham and on to Oakham and Stamford, while the A607 connects Leicester with Melton and Grantham.
Melton Mowbray does not have its own motorway junction. The M1 is roughly 20 miles west and the A1 around 12 miles east. The exact collection location is therefore useful information when arranging a caravan pick-up.
Collection around the A606 and A607
We can consider suitable touring caravans around Melton Mowbray and the surrounding area. Tell us where the caravan is actually kept, as access and towing condition need to be understood before collection.
Tourers in the Wreake Valley
The River Eye runs through Melton Mowbray before becoming the River Wreake downstream, with the Wreake Valley extending south-west of the town.
Owners in this wider area may have caravans at home, on private land or in storage. The same buying criteria apply wherever the tourer is kept.
Villages towards the Leicestershire Wolds and Vale of Belvoir
Asfordby, Frisby on the Wreake, Great Dalby, Gaddesby, Waltham on the Wolds, Long Clawson, Stathern, Harby and Bottesford are among the surrounding villages.
The rural setting means some caravans are kept away from commercial storage yards. Give us the actual location and access details when you enquire.

Once an offer is made, timing matters. We are heavily booked, so collection availability can move quickly.
Confirm your quote within 24 hours
If you want to go ahead, confirm the quote within 24 hours. Prompt confirmation gives us a better chance of securing the next available collection slot.
Why collection slots can be weeks away
Our collection diary can already be busy when you enquire. Waiting several days to confirm can mean the next suitable slot is weeks away.
What happens once you confirm
Once you confirm, we arrange the collection details based on the agreed purchase and location.
We are buying the caravan, not offering a separate transport or relocation service.
We buy any caravan Melton Mowbray but only suitable touring caravans
"Any caravan" needs a clear boundary. We buy suitable touring caravans, not every caravan regardless of condition.
Touring caravans we can consider
We can consider touring caravans with ordinary age and wear, including some with minor damp or minor damage. Clear photographs and honest condition information are required before a quote is confirmed.
Static caravans we do not buy
Static caravans are not part of our buying service. We buy touring caravans only.
Rotten, failed-chassis and non-towable caravans
A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is not a purchase.
Those caravans are dealt with as paid disposal jobs, where the customer pays us for disposal.
Selling a caravan Leicestershire: what happens after you agree
We buy suitable touring caravans directly from owners. We do not broker a private sale or arrange repairs before purchase.
Collection arrangements
We agree the collection details once the purchase has been confirmed. Tell us where the caravan is kept and whether there are access restrictions, particularly at storage yards, farms and private land.
What you need to have ready
Have the caravan accessible and make sure the agreed details match the caravan being collected. Keep the keys and relevant ownership or service paperwork available where applicable.
Completing the sale
Once the agreed purchase is completed, the caravan leaves your hands without private advertising or repeated casual enquiries.
We do not sell parts, repair caravans, refurbish them, treat damp or store them. Our role is to buy suitable touring caravans and arrange the collection connected with that purchase.
For nearby areas, see our pages for Leicester, Grantham and Market Harborough.
Questions about selling your caravan in Melton Mowbray
Can I sell my touring caravan if it has minor damp?
Potentially, yes. Minor damp does not automatically rule out a purchase, but clear photographs and an honest description are required before a quote is confirmed.
Can I sell a caravan that I believe is towable?
It depends on its actual condition. Owners often describe caravans as towable when they are not, and a failed chassis or caravan that will not tow is a paid disposal job rather than a purchase.
How much could my caravan be worth?
Most suitable touring caravans we buy are in the £100 to £700 range. A genuinely good tourer can be worth more, but £2,000 is the ceiling, not a standard offer.
How quickly can my caravan be collected?
It depends on the collection diary and location. We are heavily booked, so confirm an offer within 24 hours or the next collection slot can be weeks away.
Do you buy caravans kept on farms or storage yards?
Yes, suitable touring caravans can be considered wherever they are kept around Melton Mowbray. Tell us the exact location and any access restrictions before collection is arranged.
Do you buy static caravans?
No. We buy touring caravans only.
Do you repair, refurbish or store caravans?
No. We do not repair, refurbish, treat damp, store, relocate or broker caravans. A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is handled as a paid disposal job.
What determines the amount you offer for my caravan?
It comes down to condition, any damp or damage, age, layout, presentation and service history — clear photos let us judge the actual caravan rather than a description. For the full breakdown of what drives caravan value, see our caravan valuation guide.
