If you are planning your next touring adventure, the latest RoamWorthy Market Index provides a clear benchmark for what you can expect to pay in the current UK market. Based on 989 dealer listings as of 8 September 2026, the data shows a distinct dividing line between pre-owned value and the cost of a factory-fresh model. A typical used motorhome on RoamWorthy is currently listed at a median price of £59,995, while those looking for a brand-new 2026 registration will find the median advertised price sits at £79,995.
New versus Used: Where is the value?
Deciding between new and used is often the first hurdle. The figures from September highlight the financial step required to move from a late-model used vehicle to a brand-new one. While the median used price is just under £60,000, there is a significant crossover point where the top end of the used market meets entry-level new stock.
| Category | Listings | Median Asking Price | Typical Price Range (Middle 50%) | Median Model Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Used | 601 | £59,995 | £42,999–£77,777 | 2021 |
| New | 387 | £79,995 | £69,999.50–£89,690 | 2026 |
| All Stock | 989 | £70,049 | £52,995–£83,105 | 2024 |
For used stock, half of all listings sit between roughly £43,000 and £77,777. Because the entry-level new market begins around £70,000, buyers at this level face a choice: a high-specification, lightly used motorhome from around 2021, or a brand-new entry-level model with the latest 2026 registration and the security of a full manufacturer warranty.
Stock availability by budget
If you are searching with a specific budget, the distribution of stock shows where the greatest variety lies. Currently, the UK dealer market is weighted towards the mid-to-high end, with the most active segment being the £60,000–£79,999 bracket.
| Advertised Price Band | Live Listings (8 Sept 2026) | Median Model Year |
|---|---|---|
| Under £20,000 | 32 | 2004.5 |
| £20,000–£29,999 | 46 | 2009 |
| £30,000–£39,999 | 51 | 2014 |
| £40,000–£49,999 | 103 | 2018 |
| £50,000–£59,999 | 99 | 2022 |
| £60,000–£79,999 | 352 | 2026 |
| £80,000+ | 306 | 2026 |
For buyers with a budget under £30,000, choice is notably more restricted, with typical stock dating back to between 2004 and 2009. A budget of £40,000 currently represents the entry point for modern used motorhomes, typically around the 2018 model year.
Which manufacturers lead the market?
Availability often dictates choice. In our September snapshot, British brands lead for volume. Auto-Trail holds the largest share of listings with 145 vehicles, followed closely by Swift with 142 listings. Elddis rounds out the top three with 125 listings.
Other brands with a strong presence include Bailey (63), Benimar (59), and Rapido (57). Auto-Sleepers has 47 listings, while Mobilvetta offers 48 and Bürstner has 46. While these figures represent the current dealer inventory on RoamWorthy, they highlight which brands you are most likely to encounter when browsing today.
Practical buying tips
Increasing your budget towards £60,000 significantly opens up the market, providing access to used stock that averages five years old. For those set on a new motorhome, £80,000 is the key threshold; at this level, you have access to a substantial portion of the latest 2026 models.
When comparing vehicles, look beyond the price tag. Ensure the layout suits your touring style and check that your chosen manufacturer offers the specific features you need. Also, remember that motorhomes with a Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) over 3,500kg and up to 7,500kg require a C1 licence entitlement, while those above 7,500kg require a Category C licence.
Data note
The RoamWorthy Motorhome Market Index is based on 989 live dealer listings recorded on 8 September 2026. We use median prices to provide a realistic "middle" value. These figures reflect advertised asking prices on the RoamWorthy platform rather than final transaction values. RoamWorthy inventory and audience behaviour do not represent total UK sales, registrations, or national demand. Stock movement claims require like-for-like canonical model observations.
