What we pay for your touring caravan in Peterborough
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 Peterborough.

- It must still tow and be in working order
- Minor damp is acceptable
- Minor leaks or damage are acceptable

Sell my caravan Peterborough with the agreed price paid when we collect
A caravan kept at Pioneer Caravan Storage on Thorney Road in Eye, at Willowfield Caravan Storage near Market Deeping, or in one of the city's surrounding storage yards can be easy to forget about. The monthly cost continues, while the caravan may barely move. Scrap My Caravan buys suitable touring caravans across Peterborough and pays the agreed price when we collect.
Caravan buyers Peterborough owners can rely on for a straightforward sale
Selling direct should remove uncertainty, not create more of it. The price we agree is the price we pay when we collect, provided the caravan matches the photographs and description you supplied.
A fault you have already told us about should not suddenly become a reason to reduce the offer on collection day. We ask for honest information from the start so there is less room for disagreement later.
There is also no need to advertise the caravan yourself, arrange viewings or deal with people you do not know. If you are weighing up a private sale, our guide to how to sell a caravan privately explains what that route involves.
Why the agreed price matters on collection day
Price changes at collection are a common concern for caravan sellers. You may have accepted an offer and then arranged access to a storage yard, only to worry that the figure could be challenged when the buyer arrives.
Our approach is straightforward. The agreed price is the price paid when we collect, as long as the caravan is as described and shown in the photographs.
Clear photos are needed before any quote is confirmed
A clear set of photographs is part of the assessment. Show the outside, inside and any areas where there is damp, damage or other deterioration.
Please describe problems plainly rather than making the caravan sound better than it is. Accurate information helps us decide whether we can buy it and gives you a more reliable quote.
What makes a touring caravan suitable to buy
Our buying service is for touring caravans that remain suitable for purchase. Minor faults can be acceptable, but there is a clear limit.
We buy touring caravans with minor damp or minor damage
Minor damp or minor damage does not automatically rule a tourer out. We look at how serious the problem is and the condition of the caravan overall.
A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is not a purchase. It becomes a paid disposal job where the customer pays us. You can find the Peterborough options for scrapping a caravan or using caravan breakers in Peterborough if that is the situation.
Touring caravans only, never static caravans
We buy touring caravans only. We never buy static caravans.
If yours is permanently sited as a holiday home, it is outside this buying service. Tell us what type of caravan you have before asking for a valuation.
Why being described as towable does not always mean towable
Owners often describe a caravan as "towable" when it turns out not to be. A serious chassis problem or major structural failure can change the job from buying a touring caravan to arranging disposal.
If there is any doubt about whether yours can actually be towed, say so when you enquire. Do not assume that because it has wheels and was once used for touring, it is still suitable to tow.
We buy caravans Peterborough owners have been storing around the Fens
Peterborough has a mixture of dense city districts and a large rural Fenland hinterland. That is reflected in the range of places where local owners keep caravans.
Named storage yards serving Peterborough and the surrounding area
Storage facilities serving the area include Firs Farm Caravan Storage, Garth Caravan Storage, Border Caravan Storage, Lakeview Caravan Storage, Willowfield Caravan Storage at Market Deeping, Pioneer Caravan Storage on Thorney Road in Eye, Northey Lodge Storage and Touring Park, and Easton Caravan Storage.
If your caravan is at a storage site, check its access rules before collection is arranged. Some yards may require notice or have particular arrangements for vehicles entering the site.
What £40-£90 a month in storage costs means for an unused caravan
Typical storage costs in the area are around £40 to £90 a month. That can add up to hundreds of pounds each year for a caravan that is rarely used.
If yours has become something you keep paying to store but no longer use, a valuation can help you decide what to do next.
City-district storage and rural Fenland storage
A caravan in Bretton, Werrington or Orton may have different access arrangements from one stored in the rural area beyond the city. Peterborough's position within the wider Fenland landscape means both urban premises and countryside storage sites are relevant to local sellers.
Give us the actual storage location when you enquire. That helps us understand where the caravan is and what will be involved in collection.
Sell touring caravan Peterborough with a simple buying process
The process starts with accurate information and ends with collection and payment. There is no need to prepare the caravan for resale, arrange private viewings or advertise it on your behalf.
Send the details and photographs
Tell us the make, model, age, location and condition. Include clear photographs and point out any known damp, damage or other faults.
The more accurate the information, the better. We would rather hear about a problem before quoting than discover it when we arrive.
Receive your offer
We assess the information supplied and, where the caravan is suitable, make an offer based on its condition and overall suitability.
The offer is for the caravan as described. It is not an invitation to turn up and reassess an already disclosed fault on collection day.
Confirm within 24 hours while the collection diary is heavily booked
We are always busy and the collection diary is heavily booked. If you want to secure the available collection slot, confirm within 24 hours of receiving the quote.
Leaving it longer can mean the next suitable collection slot is weeks away. This matters if you are paying storage each month and want the caravan dealt with promptly.
Collection and payment as agreed
We collect the caravan from the agreed location and pay the agreed amount, provided it matches the description and photographs supplied.
We do not provide repairs, refurbishment, damp treatment, storage, relocation or standalone transport. We also do not sell parts, broker sales or advertise a caravan for its owner.
Touring caravan buyers Peterborough owners can contact about older tourers
An older caravan is not automatically rejected. What matters is whether its condition falls within our buying criteria and whether it remains a touring caravan that can be purchased.
What happens if your caravan has been sitting unused
Long-term storage can leave a caravan with issues that were not present when it was last used. Damp, deterioration and mechanical problems can develop while it is sitting unused.
Tell us how long it has been stored and what you know about its condition. That is more useful than simply saying it is "old" or "towable".
What happens if paperwork such as CRiS details is missing
Tell us if paperwork or CRiS details are missing before collection is arranged. We would rather know in advance than find an unexpected documentation issue on the day.
When an older caravan may still be suitable for used caravan buyers Peterborough
Age by itself does not decide whether we can buy a caravan. An older tourer can still be suitable when its condition is within our criteria and it remains a viable touring caravan.
When a caravan is not suitable for our buying service
A caravan that is rotten through, has a failed chassis or will not tow is outside the purchase service. In that case, it is a paid disposal job where the customer pays us rather than a caravan we purchase.

Frequently asked questions about selling a caravan in Peterborough
Can you buy a caravan with minor damp or damage?
Yes, minor damp or minor damage can still be suitable. The condition must be shown clearly in the photographs and described before the quote is confirmed.
Do you buy static caravans in Peterborough?
No. We buy touring caravans only and never buy static caravans.
Why do you need clear photos before confirming a quote?
The photographs let us assess the caravan before agreeing the price. They also help ensure the caravan we collect matches the information used for the quote.
What if I have described my caravan as towable but it cannot actually be towed?
Tell us if there is any doubt about its ability to tow. A caravan that will not tow may need to be treated as a paid disposal job rather than a purchase.
What determines how much you offer for my caravan?
We consider age, condition, damp or damage, layout, equipment and overall suitability. Most suitable touring caravans receive offers between £100 and £700, with up to £2,000 reserved as a ceiling for a genuinely good tourer.
How quickly can you collect my caravan?
Our collection diary is heavily booked, so confirm within 24 hours of receiving your quote if you want to secure the available slot. Otherwise, the next collection may be several weeks away.
Is the agreed price guaranteed when you collect?
The agreed price is the price paid when we collect, provided the caravan matches the photographs and description supplied. We do not reduce the price because of a fault that was already disclosed before the quote was confirmed.
What's my caravan actually worth before you make an offer?
It comes down to age, condition, damp, damage, layout and equipment — clear photographs let us judge that properly rather than relying on a generic price guide. For the full breakdown of what drives caravan value, see our caravan valuation guide.
