Selling a motorhome: Schwacke list for the valuation

The Schwacke List is a list of vehicle types and their average residual values. It is compiled by Schwacke GmbH, a company that specializes in providing used car valuations. The Schwackelist contains information about different types of motorhomes, including makes, models and years of manufacture, as well as details such as equipment, mileage and condition. Based on this information, the value of a used motorhome can be estimated. Although the term "Schwacke list" is widely used, it can be misleading as the original Schwacke list can now be considered a modern vehicle database.

The Schwackel list is not binding in all cases, as the actual value of a used motorhome depends on various factors, such as the condition of the motorhome, the mileage and the equipment. Although the Schwackel list is one of the best-known vehicle valuations in Germany, it has its limits when it comes to valuing a used motorhome:

• No individual factors: the Schwackel list only takes into account general vehicle features such as make, model, year of manufacture and mileage. Individual factors such as special equipment features or defects cannot be adequately taken into account.
  
• No regional differentiation: The Schwackel list gives a nationwide average value and does not take into account regional differences in the demand or supply of used motorhomes. It is therefore possible that the value of a car in a particular region is higher or lower than the average value given in the Schwackel list.
  
• Inaccurate valuation: Motorhome valuations may not be as comprehensive as those from specialist companies in the caravanning industry, who often have more detailed information and knowledge of the motorhome market and used motorhomes in general.

Please note: Consumers or private individuals do not have access to the Schwackel list. The Schwackel list is used by insurance companies, leasing companies and dealers to determine the value of used vehicles, including motorhomes. However, there are very good alternatives to the Schwacke valuation to determine the value of a used motorhome.
