Having found your ideal new holiday home, we can then appraise your old caravan and compare the values of the two. You may also be able to use credit from letting your previous caravan to contribute to your down payment.
3. Pay in the manner that suits you
You could pay for your holiday home in full or take our Haven caravan finance that offers a highly competitive 5.71% fixed / 10.6% APR (representative) monthly repayment rate. If you already have finance in place, we can settle the existing loan and offer a new agreement.

You’ll have access to your holiday home as soon as it arrives on park. We’ll also organise the sale of your old caravan; it will either be sold on park or to another park at home or abroad!
Why use a caravan part exchange?
As an owner you’ll be able to part exchange your caravan whenever you like. There are a number of reasons that people choose to opt for part exchange.
Some owners simply want to upgrade their caravan at the same park. This may be to make space for new family members, or to get a more favourable position on site that allows for uninterrupted sea views. Others might be looking to move to a new location altogether. One of the most exciting things about the idea of owning a holiday home is choosing the caravan park that suits you.
Many factors can influence this decision such as the availability of activities for families or how close local attractions are. Different parks have their own unique appeal that can be as vital to your overall experience of caravan owner life as the holiday home itself. Peoples’ needs change over time, so it’s only logical that their site preferences will change too.
Haven's part exchange system
Whatever your reason for wanting to exchange, there are several advantages to Haven’s part exchange system. Part exchanging a caravan is not just about the money, it’s about the convenience and the safety net of knowing you’re in trustworthy hands.
With this scheme, you can rest assured that there won’t be a long period between getting rid of your old caravan and receiving your new one. This means you won’t miss out on any potential holiday time with your loved ones. Remember, holiday home ownership is an investment into your leisure and well-being, so you are paying for the lifestyle and the lifelong memories that you’ll make with your family and friends.
