As above really, twice I've put it on eBay, its on swapz, gumtree and on here. Nothing absolutely nothing.
Anyone any ideas, I can't keep two, luckily the one we are using is sited and our old one in storage. The storage site is in contract untill August so in a way its not costing me anything but its got to go to pay me back for our second van.
Maybe you are asking too much which is putting people off?
Or maybe your description and photos are letting it down?
Take several clear photos showing all areas of the van including any damage.
Write an honest description, again listing any faults and be clear about what is included in the price.
Be realistic about what it is worth - you may get more if you sell things like awning and water/waste containers separately.
I have been honest about any damage, and it includes a full awning, water waste etc, hook up lead.
Its a good caravan and I wish I could of kept it but needs must.
We just bought a new to us van and one of the things that attracted us was the fact they had got it serviced and a report so we new exactly what we were getting. Might be worth trying that

Put it on Preloved. I would never buy a caravan off ebay. Travel miles to see it. Go home and bid. Wait a few days find out I've lost it.
Go and see another, wait a few days and so on.... I want to see it, agree a price, pay for it and tow it home.
I sold mine on Preloved in less than 2 days.
Put good photos, really scrub it spotless. Write about all it's features and good points. List the bad honestly but make sure the good outweighs the bad. Be very realistic about the price and be prepared to underprice a bit.
If it doesn't sell quickly it goes stale and people think if it hasn't sold there must be something wrong with it.
If you got no joy on ebay I presume your starting price was too high, did you put it on there with a good set of pictures & full description? If you think its worth a grand then put it on for a £300 start & let the bidders decide what its worth.
My thoughts were that if someone wanted it then they would bid, if I were to have a low starting bid it could be then possible for it to sell for peanuts or I would have to ask some one to bid it up and pay the selling fees. I don't like eBay mind you, full of idiots offering you peanuts as though your desperate for the money.
I think caravan finder might be the place for me.

I'm afraid it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay. If its not selling at that price, its over-priced. I know that's painful to accept but the market doesn't lie.
You can still do a normal classified ad on eBay (not an auction), only £15 and I've sold my last 2 cars that way (and had to drop the price much more than I wanted on both but there was just no interest anywhere else ).

I would think there would be a market for a £1k van almost anywhere. Why don't you try the local approach, ad in local shop with photos and maybe use the local rag.
If you think it's worth a grand ,then put it on e.bay for £700 starters with offers ,or put it on classified for £850 or offers add your phone number in case you do get a off the bay deal
