Where to buy a second-hand mobile home ?

Mobile home dealers buy and sell second-hand models all the time. Some campsites will buy or sell mobile homes already sited on their park from time to time. As for new mobile homes, due to the cost of transport, we recommend you look at second-hand mobile homes already close to your chosen destination.

Estimating the price of second-hand models

The value of a mobile home can vary greatly depending on supply and demand. At present, there is no official second-hand mobile home price list in France. Besides, the value of the mobile home itself should be assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on sales terms : is the mobile home already sited on a pitch or does it have to be moved by special convoy ? Can the pitch rental contract be transferred from the present owner to the next (costs, duration, notice period), etc ...

As an indication, it is generally accepted that the initial cost of the mobile home itself (transport, installation and various extra costs not included) loses 30% of its value in its first year of use, 15 % in its second year, 10 % in the following years and that after 15 years, a mobile home has no real market value anymore.

This calculation will give you an idea of the cost of the second-hand mobile home itself, to which you will have to add transport (if necessary) and installation costs and the pitch rental fee.
