Glass Caravan Guide has been the industry standard for many years and is used by caravan dealers, insurance companies & associated businesses to provide a ‘guide price’ for touring caravans. Hidden from the general public and only available for trade associations, these prices have been used to determine part exchange prices, buying prices and even potential insurance values and payout figures. Because of the fact that there has never been an alternative provider, in our opinion their figures have never been scrutinised or even tested to see how accurate they actually are. So we have produced a test that is available for anyone to try. The test is timed and based upon a multiple choice answer. Simply start the test and you will be presented with question 1. You will have 5 minutes per question to read and choose your answer from a multiple choice selection. Use your logic to answer the questions and at the end of the 10 questions, we will show you how many correct answers you got. Only your first answer will be accepted and a timeout will count as an incorrect answer. Use your logic to test your knowledge of the industry ‘guide’ prices! Please start by entering your name and email address. We will send you a verification email to confirm your email address and you can start the test!

Should you wish to check your answers, please select the REVIEW QUESTION and we will show you the answer you picked and the ‘answer’ according to Glass Guide. For many years we have studied touring caravan prices and in our opinion, there has not been an acurate touring caravan price guide available to the trade and general public to use. Logically, why should the values of touring caravans be hidden? With our extensive research, the general public accept that there is a difference between a trade and retail value. They understand that a touring caravan can have several values dependant upon the valuation circumstances. So we have decided to open up our data. Our values have logic, take into account dealer fitted options and any factory fitted options that add value to a touring caravan. From our research a touring caravan has a specific lifespan, prices are dependant upon manufacturers new prices and a logical deprication. For far to long there have been some retailers and unscrupulous individuals who sell caravans ‘for what they can get’ rather than what the caravan is actually worth. Our price guide allows consumers and industry trade bodies make an informed view, realistic depreciation values for a base trade price, part exchange value, retail rrp and current market condition insurance valuations.
