Selling Your Caravan – FAQs
Yes. Although we’re based in Retford, Nottinghamshire, we collect caravans from across the UK — from small villages to large towns and cities. Whether you’re in Gainsborough, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire or beyond, we’ll arrange a collection at your convenience.
We aim for next-day collection where possible. Most caravans are picked up within 24 to 48 hours of enquiry, depending on location and availability.
Yes — we always make payment at the time of collection. This is typically done via instant bank transfer before the caravan leaves your premises.
Absolutely. We specialise in purchasing touring caravans in all conditions, including those with damp, water damage, bodywork issues, or that have simply been unused for a while.
We buy all types of UK touring caravans — including Swift, Bailey, Elddis, Lunar, Coachman, and more. We do not currently buy motorhomes or static caravans.
No need to clean or repair it. We buy caravans as-is, so there’s nothing to do other than provide basic details and agree a collection time.
Just fill out the quick enquiry form on our Sell Your Caravan page or give us a call. Thomas will review the details and send you a free, no-obligation quote — often the same day.
You’ll deal directly with Thomas Deadman, the owner of TS Caravans. No middlemen, no call centres — just personal, honest service from start to finish.
No — we don’t charge any fees or admin costs. The price you’re quoted is the price you’ll receive upon collection.
