Advertise it straight after your holiday if you want shot of it quick otherwise leave it until next March or so. Once September comes buyers expect bargains up until about Christmas. Ebay will reach the widest audience so put it on there wherever else you put it.
Mine's currently up for sale on Preloved, Gumtree, Ebay and Caravan Club Classifieds. At the moment, I'm getting most interest from Preloved, which I didn't quite expect. Things seem to be quite busy now but I'm assuming it'll get quieter as soon as the school holidays are finished?
we sold ours last week through the caravan club classifieds. It was also on ebay, despite stacks of ebay watchers we didn't get one single enquiry in the three weeks it was on there. Put it on the CC classifieds and it was sold three days later.
We didn't have the interest we've had in the other vans we've sold which surprised us at this time of year.

We've recently tried to sell my Mother in laws 2008 Bailey van as my father in law has passed away, it was immaculate and book price is £8100 but we didn't get a single viewing, we even dropped it to £6500 which was a ridiculous price as it had a motor mover, awning and everything included right down to the teaspoons but still no viewings.
In the end we accepted £6700 from a dealer and he has it for sale over 8k so whoever buys it missed out on a bargain.
It was advertised on here, eBay twice, Preloved, Gumtree, AutoTrader, every local supermarket and had signs in the window.

So far we had two enquiries on the caravan but latest said (What the lowest you will take and it out of our price Range) and the best thing they are on Holiday in the Sun only been up For Sale for a few days .
Just looked at your ad on here and you have stated it is a 2 berth. Do the front seats turn into a double bed or can they be used as 2 singles? If so then I would re-advertise it as a 4 berth as you also have the fixed bed. This may bring in interest from families.
