Try these for a rough idea.

Or google your model and year,as if you want to buy one.And see what they are going for.I do that with cars on Autotrader as a rough guide.

Try and find a caravan service company and ask if they have a second hand caravan trade price book and can look it up for you.

Just a word on those kind of sites.
Don't use them !!
They will offer you just above scrap value, they are a bad joke !!!!!

Ask your local dealer or look on the internet for others and you then have some idea what yours is worth.

Has yours got a full service history and recent damp report?

As per Damien avoid these "we buy" sites like the plague!

The trade use Glasses Guide but this is not available to the general public. Your best bet is to look through the various traders web sites and look at similar models to get an idea. The figures will be a bit high as they have to allow for some haggling though. Classified adds might help but they do not have the traders knowledge to fix a price.

As Ray and others have suggested its a question of looking at similar vans that are already for sale.

But be prepared, because others may not see the condition of your van the way that you see it, your "excellent" condition may only be perceived as good by others. Or the quirk that you have come to accept without thinking could be a deal breaker for someone else.

You could ask your local caravan dealer to value it.

At the end of the day a caravan is worth what a buyer wishes to pay for it - I’d say around £6500 based on a quick look at autotrader caravans

Looking at this months magazine a dealer was advertising Discovery 5's at just under £8,000. This will be high enough to give them negotiating room and allow for a guarantee so my guess would be you would be looking at up to £7,000 for a private sale.
