What we pay for your touring caravan in Northampton
Selling to us is simple: send photos, get an offer, and if you accept, we collect. These are the real figures for touring caravans in Northampton.
We buy touring caravans
The one case where the money comes to you
- Touring caravans only — never statics
- It must still tow and be in working order
- Minor damp is acceptable
- Minor leaks or damage are acceptable
- Most offers land between £100 and £700
- Up to £2,000 for the very best, never more
Every figure is confirmed from your photos before anything is booked, so nothing changes on the day. We are always heavily booked: book within 24 hours of your quote or you may be waiting several weeks for a collection date.
Sell my caravan Northampton from the Sywell Road and A43 storage sites to Whilton Marina
Northampton has a familiar pattern for touring caravan owners. Vans are kept at storage sites around Sywell Road, off the A43 north of town, and further out towards Whilton Marina near Daventry. If yours is spending more time parked than travelling, Scrap My Caravan can tell you whether it is suitable for purchase and arrange collection.
Selling a touring caravan in Northampton without the guesswork
The first thing to establish is whether your caravan is one we buy. Scrap My Caravan purchases touring caravans across Northampton and Northamptonshire, with most offers between £100 and £700. A genuinely good tourer can reach up to £2,000, but that is a ceiling, not a promise.
We look at the caravan's age, condition, completeness and ability to tow. Clear information at the start means you have a much better idea of what to expect.
We buy touring caravans, not static caravans
Scrap My Caravan buys touring caravans only. We do not buy static caravans.
Billing Aquadrome is a familiar Northampton landmark, but its static caravans are outside what we purchase. If you need a static caravan removed, we can quote for a paid removal job instead, where you pay us for the work.
What we can buy and what needs a disposal job
Minor damp or minor damage does not automatically rule out a touring caravan. We assess the extent of the problem.
A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is not a purchase. Those cases are handled as a paid scrapping or disposal job.
Caravan buyers near me Northampton can collect locally
Collection can be arranged from Northampton and surrounding areas. The town sits close to M1 junctions 15 and 15a, as well as the A43, A45 and A5, which helps when planning collection.
If your caravan is at a storage site, give us the exact location when you request a valuation.
What your Northampton caravan could be worth
Two caravans of the same age can have very different values. Condition, completeness and towability all affect the offer.
Most caravans we buy are in the £100 to £700 range. Up to £2,000 is possible for a genuinely good tourer, but it is not a guaranteed valuation.
Why age, condition and towability affect the offer
Age matters, but it is not everything. An older caravan can still have value if it is complete, reasonably sound and safe to tow.
A damaged panel is very different from a rotten floor or failed chassis. Towability matters too. People often describe a caravan as towable when it turns out not to be, which is a common reason an offer changes.
Does the 10 year rule make my caravan worthless?
No. Being over 10 years old does not automatically make a touring caravan worthless.
Age forms part of the assessment, alongside condition and towability.
Most tourers sell for £100 to £700, with up to £2,000 possible for a genuinely good caravan
The usual buying range is £100 to £700. A genuinely good tourer may be valued as high as £2,000, but that is the ceiling rather than an expected price.
The actual figure depends on the caravan itself, including its condition and whether it can be towed.
Sell my caravan Northamptonshire with collection arranged around you
We collect across Northamptonshire and nearby areas, including Daventry, Towcester, Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby, Rushden and Brackley.
Your caravan does not need to be sitting outside your home.
Collecting from Northampton, Daventry and Towcester
Your tourer might be on a drive in Northampton, at storage near Sywell Road, or further west around Daventry and Towcester.
Whilton Marina near Daventry is another local example of where a caravan may be kept. Give us the precise collection location rather than just the nearest town.
If you are comparing options in another nearby area, see our Market Harborough caravan page.
Collection from Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby, Rushden and Brackley
We also collect from Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby, Rushden and Brackley.
The county has several caravan storage locations, including Weldon Caravan Storage at Corby. If your caravan is stored away from home, you do not need to bring it back before asking about a sale.
Tell us where it is and what access is like.
Do you collect from me or do I tow it?
We arrange collection, so you do not need to tow the caravan to us.
Tell us honestly whether it is safe and suitable to tow. If it turns out on collection day that it cannot be safely towed, that can affect whether it qualifies for purchase.
Before we confirm an offer, we need to see the caravan properly
Clear photographs of the caravan, including any damage, are required before an offer is confirmed.
This helps make sure the offer reflects the caravan that will actually be collected.
Send clear photos, including any damage
Show the caravan from several angles, then photograph the interior, tyres and anything needing attention.
If there is damp, damage or missing equipment, show it. If you are unsure whether something matters, include a photograph.
Why saying a caravan is towable is not enough
People often describe a caravan as towable when it turns out not to be. Moving it around a storage yard does not necessarily mean it is safe to tow on the road.
A failed chassis, severe rot or a caravan that will not tow safely is not purchased. It becomes a paid scrapping or disposal job.
What minor damp or damage means for a purchase
Minor damp or minor damage does not automatically disqualify a tourer.
The extent of the problem matters. Serious rot, a failed chassis or an unsafe caravan falls into the disposal side of the service.
A straightforward way to sell your touring caravan
We need the caravan details, honest photographs and the collection location. From there, the process is simple.
Tell us about the caravan and where it is
Give us the make, model, age, location and general condition. Include any known faults.
If it is stored off-site, provide the exact storage location.
Get an offer based on its actual condition
The offer is based on the information and photographs you provide. Once we have enough detail, we can assess whether the caravan is suitable for purchase and what figure can be offered.
Confirm within 24 hours to secure your collection slot
We are heavily booked. Sellers should confirm within 24 hours of receiving an offer, otherwise the next collection date can be weeks away.
If you want to proceed, confirm promptly to give yourself the best chance of securing a suitable slot.
Local issues that can affect a caravan sale
Finance and site rules can complicate a caravan sale, particularly when a van has been kept on a park or storage site.
Does outstanding HP finance stop me selling?
Not necessarily. Tell us about any outstanding HP finance when discussing the sale.
The finance position can affect how the sale is handled, so raise it before collection is arranged.
Does a site resale fee stop me selling?
Not automatically. A site or park may have its own resale terms or fees, which can affect the arrangements.
Check the terms for your pitch and tell us what the site has said.
Who will buy an old caravan?
Scrap My Caravan buys suitable touring caravans, including older tourers.
There is no automatic age cut-off. Condition, completeness and towability matter alongside age.
Why choose Scrap My Caravan as your Northampton caravan buyer
We aim to make the buying process clear before collection. That means explaining what we can purchase and what can cause an offer to change.
Clear valuations based on the caravan you actually have
Most purchased tourers fall between £100 and £700. A genuinely good example can reach up to £2,000.
That upper figure is not guaranteed. Age, condition, damage and towability all affect the valuation.
Collection across Northamptonshire
We collect from Northampton and areas including Daventry, Towcester, Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby, Rushden and Brackley.
That includes caravans kept at storage sites. Give us the location and access details.
No collection-day surprises when the condition has been disclosed
Send clear photographs and disclose known damage before the offer is confirmed.
People often say a caravan is towable when it turns out not to be. That is a common reason offers change. Accurate information at the start gives you the clearest idea of what to expect.
Frequently asked questions about selling a caravan in Northampton
Where is the best place to sell a touring caravan?
A direct buyer can suit owners who want collection arranged rather than advertising the caravan and dealing with several potential buyers.
For Northampton owners, this is particularly useful when the caravan is stored away from home.
How do I value my caravan?
Consider its make, model, age, condition, damp, damage, completeness and towability. Clear photographs are required before an offer is confirmed. For the full breakdown of what drives caravan value, see our caravan valuation guide.
Who will buy an old caravan?
Scrap My Caravan buys suitable older touring caravans. There is no automatic cut-off that makes a tourer worthless.
Does the 10 year rule make my caravan worthless?
No. A caravan over 10 years old can still have a purchase value, depending on its condition and towability.
Do you collect from me or do I tow it?
We arrange collection, so you do not need to tow the caravan to us.
Tell us where it is and whether it is genuinely safe to tow.
Does outstanding HP finance or a site resale fee stop me selling?
Not automatically. Tell us about either issue before the offer is confirmed so the arrangements can be discussed.
Does minor damp disqualify my van?
No. Minor damp or minor damage does not automatically prevent a purchase.
A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow safely is handled as a paid scrapping or disposal job instead.
How do I know the offer will not be dropped on collection day?
Send clear, honest photographs before the offer is confirmed and disclose known damage.
People often describe a caravan as towable when it turns out not to be. That is one of the main reasons an offer can change.
Do you buy static caravans?
No. We buy touring caravans only.
Static caravans are not purchased. If one needs removing, we can quote for a paid removal job.
What happens if my caravan will not tow?
We do not purchase a caravan that will not tow safely.
A failed chassis, severe rot or similar condition is handled as a paid scrapping or disposal job instead.
How quickly can you collect my caravan?
Collection depends on availability, and we are heavily booked.
Confirm an offer within 24 hours if you want to secure the collection slot. Waiting can mean the next available date is several weeks away.
For owners comparing nearby areas, our Bedfordshire and Bedford caravan page covers that location separately.
