Will Motorhome Prices Drop in 2025? And Why Now May be a Good Time to Sell…

For many people in the UK, the prevailing financial climate has been quite a challenge. Money has been on everyone’s minds for a while – and if you just have a conversation with anyone it definitely seems to come up. Making sure that ends meet is a real focus for an increasing number of families. However, it’s not all ‘doom and gloom’. If you’re financially careful and you cut your coat according to your cloth, you’ll find yourself well covered despite financial uncertainties. 

In business terms, there have been a few things influencing the general ‘state of play’ in the last five years – including the effects of the Covid pandemic. For the leisure vehicle industry, the pandemic has had a big impact including things such as supply chain issues. So how does that, plus other economic shifts, affect the actual price of new motorhomes? Our new article looks into the issue. 

What things affect a motorhome’s price?

• Size: All motorhomes are built around a basic combination of driver’s cab, seating area, sleeping area, cooking area, and washing area. The way these areas integrate in the floor plan of a motorhome will have a bearing on its size and weight and, therefore, a bearing on its price. 

• Berths: A berth is the area designated for one person to sleep – so a four-berth motorhome sleeps four, for example. When you are in a family of four, you are going to pick a motorhome which is four berth, so that there’s enough room for everyone to sleep – and this will have a bearing on the price. In some motorhomes, you will find that the living room area seating converts into a bed, or you may find sleeping areas to be fixed island beds, bunk beds or French beds. The more berths there are, the more likely the cost of the motorhome will be higher. 

• Layout: The way the main features inside a motorhome are designed and positioned is referred to as the layout. Some motorhomes have larger social areas including seating, with additional functional spaces such as a kitchen or washroom. The size, position and orientation of each of these can impact the overall cost of the motorhome. 

• Brand: There are many different brands of motorhome, with the price of each varying. When choosing which motorhome to buy, it’s likely that you have a particular brand in mind – perhaps something a friend recommended, or something you’ve noticed online and liked the look of. Each brand has unique selling points and areas of focus. Some emphasise interior tech and innovation, while others prioritise comfort, durability, or premium features. Your brand of choice will influence the overall cost. 

• Features and Equipment / Accessories: It follows logically that more features equate to an increase in the cost of the motorhome. When selecting your motorhome, it’s worth compiling a list of the features you require, and checking them off as you compare listings. If you’re viewing in person, speak to the dealer and run through what features are available. Similarly, any included accessories and equipment will influence the price. 

Will motorhome prices drop in 2025?

The outlook for 2025 is more complex than in previous years, with motorhome prices in 2025 facing a potential correction. After years of higher prices driven by pandemic-fuelled demand and limited supply, the market is beginning to level off. Supply chains have somewhat normalised, production has caught up and demand has levelled. That said, prices are not expected to plummet and, instead, we’re seeing a moderate decline, particularly for older or higher-mileage used motorhome models. Newer, well-equipped vehicles are retaining value more steadily, thanks to continued interest from on-the-road lifestyle buyers and retirees. If you’re considering a motorhome purchase, 2025 is a year that may offer moderately lower prices than the last few years. If you’re selling, however, now might be the best moment – especially for mid-range and older motorhomes. 

What does this mean if I want to sell my campervan or motorhome?

What this means is, you can still get a very competitive price – especially if your motorhome is well-maintained and falls within popular layouts or berth counts. With the current transition in the market, dealers are still looking for quality used stock to meet demand. Selling now could lock in value before depreciation trends accelerate as anticipated further later in 2025.
