Motorhome Pig case studies
The honest way to judge us is to see what actually happens. These are detailed, verified accounts of real motorhomes sold — and bought — through Motorhome Pig: the full story, the timeline, the figures, and the customer's own verdict, from selling and part-exchange to the handover and after-sales. No staged testimonials, just what we did and how it went.
Selling a campervan with 258,000 miles on it
Two buying companies declined to quote on the mileage alone, without asking about the £4,700 reconditioned engine fitted 55,000 miles earlier. Advertised at £18,750 and sold for £17,750 five days later, on the first and only viewing it ever got.

The fake vehicle check scam
"We need you to do a check first through this company." Twice in three weeks, and he reached the form before he stopped. Most motorhome scams want the motorhome; this one only wants the seller's card details, and being asked to prove you're honest is what makes it work.

Selling a self-converted Peugeot Boxer campervan
They built it themselves for the two of them, then four grandchildren arrived. A self-build has no book price and gets no cash offer, so the advert had to carry the proof - 40 photos and a 900-word spec, filed 35 minutes after first contact. Listed £23,000, sold £19,500.

Jeremy's Peugeot Boxer campervan story
He typed £10,000 into the form because he had to type something - "am I going to get four grand or 24 grand?" - then told us the valuation was too low and sent us the full conversion spec. It went live at £12,000 and sold at £11,000.

Selling Mark's Auto-Trail Cherokee

Jane's Hobby Vantana K60 story
The buyer's side: she came to sell an old campervan, it didn't sell, so we took it in part-exchange against a newer Hobby Vantana she loved, then gave a buyer new to motorhomes an unhurried, filmed handover and after-sales that kept its word, niggles and all.
