Flipping motorhomes: Is buying to sell a good idea or is the motorhome market slowing down?

from Motorhome Matt · host Matt Sims

Flipping motorhomes: a risk or a reward in waiting? This week, Matt and Keith rewind to the 2020 surge in motorhome prices, fueled by demand and supply disruptions, leading to up to 25% spikes in retail prices but with hugely extended wait times.  Some buyers adopted a smart strategy, purchasing a secondhand motorhome to enjoy while waiting for their new one. Jump to 2023 as their new motorhomes arrive, however now worth far more than their frozen dealer prices. So what have some decided to do? Flip the new one for profit and keep their secondhand one, a move that has drawn mixed reactions from manufacturers and dealers.  Amid ongoing high prices and a potentially slowing market, Matt examines whether this idea of flipping your motorhome could come back to bite you. We speak with Clare, who took the plunge to flip her new motorhome and discovered it might not be as straightforward as she anticipated. Uncover Clare's insights and whether her move paid off in this evolving market.  Plus in the news; a government on the side of motorists? That's not something that happens often. Matt and Keith discuss Rishi Sunak's recent realisation that he could gain support by opposing ULEZ expansions.  Matt also answers your questions about the best types of motorhome fridges, storing your motorhome on a slope and the real difference between Coachbuilt and A-Class motorhomes.  🔶 ASK MATT YOUR QUESTIONS Have you got a question about motorhomes, travel or the leisure industry?
