We have just sold a 2006 Chausson Allegro through AutoTrader. Only two enquiries, both viewed it and the second bought it. We put it on for 4 weeks and sold it in 2. We also had a big 'For Sale' on it, got some enquiries but no viewers. Also put it on Nextdoor got a couple of enquiries but no viewers.

Facebook Marketplace is becoming the go-to place. Never joined FB and read somewhere that you need a bit of FB history before you can use Marketplace.

Photos of the van on location help to show the van as it is used. Telling a story of how you have used and enjoyed it also makes it stand out from the usual list of stuff.

I agree. Most of my photos of old Hank the Tank were taken in nice places, wild camping (selling the dream). The other thing I did was list all the bad points as well as the good and was 100% totally honest. I knew the gearbox was ropey for example and that it started like a bag of spanners in the cold so I listed it. People will only discover it once they drive all the way to see it but that wasn't my reason. Honesty is just a big thing for me. I would have been well pissed off if the first van I had bought had turned out to have a list of stuff wrong with it.

I absolutely agree 👍
 
I sold my last motorhome on FB marketplace place just make sure you check out their profiles of prospective buyers before passing on any details and the money is in your account before handing over the keys to the van.
 
Jac I think you have advertised it on your profile and not on FB marketplace on your profile only your friends see it and you rely on them sharing it on marketplace everyone can see it.
