Get your free valuation - we will give you a cash price and a brokerage estimate. Takes about 60 seconds.
No upfront cost · No obligation · Cash collection is free, UK-wide · One central UK team
Motorhome Pig is a tech-enabled, family-run UK motorhome buyer and brokerage. One free valuation gives you two options.
Cash: we buy your motorhome outright at a fair trade price - free nationwide collection, paid by bank transfer before we drive it away, no fee. The fastest, most certain way to sell.
Brokerage: we sell it privately for the full market price - professionally edited photos and video, advertised everywhere, buyers vetted, a live dashboard, and a published fee only when it sells. Most sellers arrive wanting cash, but choose brokerage once they see it usually puts more in their pocket.
Your two options: a cash price, or sell for more
From one free valuation you get two figures: a cash price we will pay to buy your motorhome outright today, and a brokerage estimate of what you would likely receive selling privately through us. Cash is fastest and certain; brokerage usually puts more money in your pocket. You choose.
| Cash price (we buy it) | Brokerage (we sell it for you) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Speed and total certainty | Getting the most money |
| What you get | A fair trade price, paid today | The full private-sale price, minus a published fee |
| Typical outcome | Money in your account within days | Sells in around 30 days (our median) - and usually nets you more |
| What it costs you | Nothing - no fee | £1,500 / £2,000 / 6%, and only when it sells |
| Effort from you | Almost none - we collect it | A little - but we handle the enquiries, viewings and paperwork |
| Who buys it | We do, outright | A vetted private buyer |
| Collection / viewings | We collect free, anywhere in the UK | Stays on your driveway; only vetted buyers visit |
| How you are paid | Bank transfer, then we drive it away | Buyer pays our fee + your balance; cleared funds before keys |
| Change your mind? | It is a quick, clean sale | Yes - you can switch to a cash offer at any time |
Let us be straight with you: most people who land on this page just want a quick cash price, and that is a brilliant, hassle-free way to sell - we are happy to buy your motorhome today. But here is the honest part. When we show sellers both numbers side by side, the majority choose brokerage, because selling privately through us typically nets them noticeably more for only a little more time. There is no pressure either way - you will have both figures in front of you and the decision is entirely yours.
Get both figures free - a cash price and a brokerage estimate.
Sell my motorhomeThe full process, step by step
Everyone starts the same way - a free valuation - then the journey forks. Here is exactly what happens, end to end, on both the cash route and the brokerage route, so you know precisely what to expect before you commit to anything.
First, get valued (everyone starts here)
1. Tell us about your motorhome
Fill in the quick online form: registration, make, model, year, mileage, berth, service history and the price you would like. It takes about 60 seconds, there is nothing to pay, and there is no visit to wait for.
2. Add your photos and a walkaround video
Send us some photos and a short walkaround video of your motorhome - there is nothing technical to do. If you sell through brokerage, our in-house editor (ex-Top Gear magazine) makes your photos look professional for you.
3. Speak to your advisor and get two prices
A named advisor from our central Halifax team calls you. We value your motorhome by benchmarking it against the market, combined with decades of motor-trade experience and a personal review by a real trader - not a faceless algorithm. Then we give you two clear options: a cash price to buy it outright now, and a brokerage estimate of what you would likely receive selling privately through us.
Route A - Cash: fastest and certain
Beautifully simple: three more steps and you are done.
- 4Accept your cash offer. Happy with the cash figure? Just say yes - there is no fee and no obligation. You can ask us for a cash offer at any time, even if you started out with brokerage.
- 5We come to you, inspect it, and pay. We arrange a convenient time and come to your home anywhere in the UK, inspect the motorhome, and pay you by secure bank transfer over the Faster Payments network. The price we quoted is the price we pay - we never chip you on the day.
- 6We drive it away - done. Once the money is confirmed in your account, we drive it away. Free nationwide collection, no fee, no waiting for a buyer. It is the fastest, most certain way to sell.
Route B - Brokerage: sell privately for more
More involved, because it is a fully managed sale - but we do the heavy lifting, and you stay in control the whole way.
- 4Sign your brokerage agreement. If you choose brokerage, we ask you to sign a simple agreement. Every number is agreed and locked in up front - your list price, our fee, and the exact amount you receive - so nothing changes later without your consent.
- 5We verify your identity. We verify your ID through a GDPR-compliant partner. This protects everyone on the platform: buyers know they are dealing with a genuine owner, and it keeps the marketplace free of fraud.
- 6We build and launch your advert. Your photos are professionally edited in-house, every advert is built to feature a full walkaround video (we encourage one on every listing), and your advert can go live the same day - no waiting for a broker to drive out and photograph it.
- 7We advertise everywhere that matters. We put your motorhome on Auto Trader, eBay, Gumtree, our own fast marketplace and targeted paid-social campaigns, reaching active searchers and buyers who are not looking yet. You pay nothing until it sells.
- 8You watch it all in your seller dashboard. Log in any time to see your live view count, every enquiry and every offer (with the exact amount you would receive), your price and ad-quality score, your appointments, your contract to download, and your vehicle history report.
- 9We handle every enquiry for you. Our team answers buyer questions across email, SMS and WhatsApp using everything we know about your motorhome. We only come to you when there is something we genuinely cannot answer - then we keep your answer on file so we never have to ask twice.
- 10We book and screen every viewing. Buyers request a viewing and you accept or decline it from your dashboard. We don't reveal your address until the buyer is verified - so only genuine, checked buyers ever reach your door.
- 11You show a genuine, vetted buyer. At the agreed time, a verified buyer comes to see the motorhome on your driveway. We have already screened them, so you only ever spend time with serious people.
- 12They buy - and the money splits cleanly. When a buyer goes ahead, they pay our fee to us and the balance directly to you, both by secure bank transfer. The keys only change hands once cleared funds are confirmed, and we guide you through the handover on the day.
- 13You stay in control throughout. Change your price whenever you like (small reductions are approved instantly), and switch to an instant cash offer at any point. The agreement runs for 90 days with exclusivity and a small early-exit fee that covers advertising if you cancel within the term.
- 14We make your motorhome easier to buy. To help it sell faster and for more, we offer your buyer finance (through Oracle Finance), a warranty plan (through Warranty First), and 14 days of free driveaway insurance plus an insurance quote (through Caravan Guard) - at no cost or effort to you.
Ready to start? One valuation gives you both options.
Sell my motorhomeWhich route makes you more money?
Brokerage almost always nets you more, because you sell to a private buyer at the full market price rather than at a trade price. Cash wins on speed and certainty. The good news: you do not have to guess - you get both figures up front and can even switch from brokerage to a cash sale at any time.
- You want it sold this week with zero hassle
- Certainty matters more than squeezing the last pound
- You would rather not host any viewings
- You need the money quickly or the van gone fast
- Getting the most money is your priority
- You are happy to wait around 30 days (our median) for the right buyer
- You like seeing every view, lead and offer yourself
- You want the option to switch to cash later if plans change
How we compare to other ways to sell
A traditional broker makes you wait for a local franchisee to visit and offers no cash option. An instant buyer is fast but only ever pays a trade price - and may cut the offer on collection day. Motorhome Pig gives you both routes from one valuation, a published fee, same-day brokerage listings, a live dashboard, and no chipping.
| What matters to you | Motorhome Pig | Traditional broker (e.g. Motorhome Depot) | Typical instant “we buy any” buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your choice of cash or private sale | Both, from one free valuation - pick whichever suits you | Brokerage only - no cash option | Cash only - no way to chase a higher private-sale price |
| Price you can achieve | Full private-sale price via brokerage, or a fair trade price for cash | Private-sale price, but commission can inflate the advertised figure | Trade / wholesale price only - typically well below market |
| The fee | Published scale on brokerage (£1,500 / £2,000 / 6%); no fee on cash | Often a 'buyer premium' - the percentage is rarely published | No fee, because they profit on reselling your motorhome |
| Price changing at the last minute | No chipping - what we agree is what you get, on either route | Buyer pays you directly, so this is less of a risk | 'Guaranteed if as described' - offers are commonly cut on collection day |
| How fast you go live or sell | Brokerage live the same day; or a cash sale in days | You wait for a local broker to visit before it is even listed | Fast (often 24-48h) - but you accept a trade price for the speed |
| Who handles your sale | One central, accountable UK team, 7 days a week | Whichever independent franchisee covers your postcode | A buyer whose goal is to pay you as little as possible |
| Seeing your leads and offers | Live dashboard: every view, lead and offer, with your exact net | Relayed to you over the phone by your broker | A single take-it-or-leave-it number |
| Who you sell to | Vetted private buyers (brokerage) or us directly (cash) | Private buyers, though some groups also trade-buy and retail | You are selling to the trade by definition |
Competitor practices vary - always confirm current fees and terms with any provider before you sign. We compare specific brokers in detail on our comparison pages below.
Want both options, with no franchise wait?
Sell my motorhomeFees and payment, explained
A cash sale has no fee at all. On brokerage there is no upfront cost and nothing to pay unless it sells - the fee is a published, fixed scale, and your exact net (your list price minus the fee) is shown on every offer before you accept. What we quote is what you get.
| Your brokerage list price | Our fee (only if it sells) |
|---|---|
| Up to £10,000 | £1,500 |
| £10,001 to £33,333 | £2,000 |
| Above £33,333 | 6% of the list price |
| Cash sale (we buy it) | No fee |
On brokerage, every number is agreed and locked in when you sign, and your net is shown on every offer - there are no surprise admin or marketing surcharges. On a cash sale, the price we quote is the price we pay; unlike instant buyers who quietly reduce an offer when they arrive to collect, our figure never moves on the day.
Common worries, neutralised
Selling a high-value motorhome raises a lot of questions. Here are quick, straight answers to the ones sellers ask us most - on getting cash, fees, finance, collection, payment and safety.
Yes - that is exactly what most people come for. We buy outright at a fair trade price, collect free anywhere in the UK, and pay by bank transfer. No fee, no waiting for a buyer.
Nothing upfront, and nothing unless it sells. The fee is a published scale - £1,500, £2,000 or 6% by price - and your exact net is shown on every offer before you accept.
No problem - it is very common. We factor the settlement figure into the sale, so any outstanding finance is cleared from the proceeds and you receive the balance.
Never. On a cash sale we come and collect it free. On a brokerage sale it stays on your driveway and only vetted buyers come to you.
You pay nothing - it is genuinely no sale, no fee. You can adjust your price from your dashboard at any time, or switch to our cash offer for a guaranteed exit.
Every buyer is verified before we reveal your address, so only genuine buyers ever reach your door. Every seller is ID-verified through a GDPR-compliant partner, and cleared funds are confirmed before any keys move.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sell my motorhome with Motorhome Pig?
You start with one free valuation. Fill in the quick online form (registration and a few details), upload your photos and a short walkaround video using the secure link we send you, and a named advisor calls you to talk it through. We then give you two options: a cash price to buy your motorhome outright now, or a brokerage estimate of what you would likely receive selling privately through us. Choose cash and we collect it free and pay you by bank transfer; choose brokerage and we advertise it, vet buyers, handle the sale and pay you when it sells. There is no upfront cost on either route.
Can I get a cash price for my motorhome?
Yes. Because we are motor traders as well as a brokerage, we can buy your motorhome outright at a fair trade price for a fast, guaranteed sale. There is no fee, we collect free of charge anywhere in the UK, we inspect it at your home, and we pay you by secure bank transfer over the Faster Payments network before we drive it away. The price we quote is the price we pay - we never chip the figure on collection day.
Cash offer or brokerage - which gives me more money?
Brokerage almost always nets you more, because you are selling to a private buyer at the full market price rather than at a trade price. A cash sale is faster and completely certain, but you accept a trade figure for that speed. Most people arrive wanting a quick cash price - and it is a genuinely great option - but when we show both numbers side by side, the majority choose brokerage because it puts more in their pocket for a little more time. You get both figures from one free valuation and decide for yourself, with no pressure either way.
How much does it cost to sell my motorhome through brokerage?
There is no upfront cost and no fee at all unless it sells. When it does, the fee is a published, fixed scale: £1,500 on a list price up to £10,000; £2,000 from £10,001 to £33,333; and 6% on a list price above £33,333. The exact amount you receive - your list price minus the fee - is shown on your dashboard and on every single offer before you accept. A cash sale has no fee whatsoever.
How is my motorhome valued?
We benchmark your motorhome against the current market, combined with decades of motor-trade experience and a personal review by a real trader. It is not a faceless automated valuation. From this we produce two figures: a cash price we would pay to buy it outright, and a brokerage list price reflecting what it should achieve in a private sale.
How do I send you my photos and video?
Just send us some photos and a short walkaround video of your motorhome - there is nothing technical to do. If you go on to sell through brokerage, our in-house editor (who previously worked at Top Gear magazine) professionally edits your photos for you, and every advert is built to feature a video walkaround, which we encourage on every listing.
How do you keep me safe from scams and timewasters?
On a brokerage sale your motorhome stays on your driveway and we screen every buyer before a viewing is confirmed. We don't reveal your exact address until the buyer is verified - so a stranger can never simply turn up from an online advert. Every seller is also identity-verified through a GDPR-compliant partner, and on completion the keys only change hands once cleared funds are confirmed, so you are protected on payment too.
How does payment work when my motorhome sells through brokerage?
When a vetted buyer goes ahead, the money splits cleanly: the buyer pays our brokerage fee to us, and pays the balance - the amount you receive - directly to you, both by secure bank transfer. Every figure was agreed and locked in when you signed, so there are no surprises. The keys only change hands once cleared funds are confirmed in your account, and we guide you through the handover on the day.
Do I get paid before I hand over the keys?
Yes, on both routes. On a cash sale we pay you by bank transfer before we drive the motorhome away. On a brokerage sale the keys only change hands once cleared funds are confirmed in the right account. You are never in the position of having parted with your motorhome without the money being there.
Can I sell my motorhome if I still have outstanding finance on it?
Yes, and it is very common. We factor the outstanding settlement figure into the sale, so the finance is cleared from the proceeds and you receive the remaining balance. Just tell us the approximate settlement figure when you get your valuation so we can plan the sale around it.
Can I change my price, or switch to a cash offer, after I've listed?
Yes to both. You can change your list price yourself from your seller dashboard at any time - small reductions are approved instantly. And you can ask us for a cash offer at any point during a brokerage listing, so you always have a guaranteed exit available if you would rather take a quick, certain sale.
What is the brokerage contract - term, exit and exclusivity?
Brokerage runs on a 90-day exclusive agreement, which means you list with us rather than advertising privately or with another broker during the term. There is no upfront cost and no fee unless it sells. If you cancel within the period there is a small early-exit fee that covers the advertising we have done. Everything is shown to you before you sign, and a cash sale involves no contract of this kind at all.
Do you verify my identity, and why?
Yes. When you sign a brokerage agreement we verify your identity through a GDPR-compliant partner. This protects everyone on the platform: buyers can trust they are dealing with a genuine, verified owner, and it keeps the marketplace free of fraud - which ultimately helps your motorhome sell.
What extras do you offer my buyer to help it sell?
To make your motorhome easier to buy - and therefore quicker to sell - we can offer your buyer finance (through our partner Oracle Finance), a warranty plan (through Warranty First), and 14 days of free driveaway insurance plus a no-obligation insurance quote (through Caravan Guard). These are offered to the buyer at no cost or effort to you, and they widen the pool of people who can say yes.
Where will my motorhome be advertised?
On a brokerage sale we advertise across Auto Trader, eBay, Gumtree, our own fast modern marketplace, and targeted paid-social campaigns that reach buyers who are not actively searching the portals yet. Every advert is built to feature a video walkaround (which we encourage on every listing) and includes professionally edited photos, and you pay nothing for any of it until your motorhome sells.
Where is Motorhome Pig based and who runs it?
Motorhome Pig is a family-run UK motorhome brokerage based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, founded in 2025 by lifelong motor trader Gary Cheetham and his son Lewis. It is a single, centralised team rather than a franchise - no postcode lottery and no faceless call centre - so wherever you are in the UK you deal with the same accountable people, backed by decades of motor-trade experience and modern technology.
