Chausson has been crafting excellent motorhomes in France for over 45 years now. With that depth of experience in the industry, they have both new and used vehicles that carry their own unique benefits.
The decision between the two is rarely just about the price. The features and benefits that matter to you personally should be just as influential. This reason is exactly why we have put this breakdown together.

Buying New Chausson Motorhomes
There’s nothing quite like stepping into a brand new motorhome for the first time. The smell of fresh upholstery, pristine surfaces, and the knowledge that every mile ahead is yours to make. Of course, once the adventures begin, the marks and scuffs will come, and that’s exactly as it should be. Every motorhome tells a story. Buying new simply means you get to write it from the very first chapter.
Pros of Buying a New Chausson Motorhome
Pristine interior
A brand new Chausson motorhome means fresh upholstery, unmarked surfaces and fittings straight from the factory
Zero wear and tear
With no previous owners, you can guarantee no hidden scratches, dents or previous owner habits to contend with.
Brand new mechanics and plumbing
Everything is factory-fresh, reducing the likelihood of early faults or unexpected repair costs that you would get over time.
Low mileage
With a motorhome yet to touch a road, you start with a completely clean slate and full service history from day one.
Full manufacturer warranty
Chausson’s warranty gives you peace of mind and financial protection from the outset.
Latest spec and features
New models benefit from Chausson’s most up-to-date layouts, technology and safety features.
Cons of Buying a New Chausson Motorhome
Higher purchase price
New Chausson motorhomes can be a significant investment in comparison to used alternatives.
Immediate depreciation
Like a new car, a motorhome loses some of its value the moment it leaves the showroom and continues to do so the longer you have it.
Longer lead times
Brand new Chausson Motorhomes may be harder to source if they are the latest model, you may have to wait for the stock to come in.
More to lose from minor damage
When you first scratch a brand-new motorhome, it stings considerably more than it would on a used one.
Buying Used Chausson Motorhomes
Used Chausson motorhomes can be one of the smartest purchases in the leisure vehicle market. Chausson has built a strong reputation for quality and durability, meaning a well-maintained used example will have plenty of life left in it, often at a fraction of the new price. For many buyers, used Chausson motorhomes are simply the sensible choice.
Pros of Buying a Used Chausson Motorhome
Lower purchase price
You can get significantly more motorhome for your money, whether that means a larger layout, a higher spec or simply keeping more cash in your pocket
Slower depreciation
The steepest drop in value for motorhomes happens in the first few years, buy used and someone else has already absorbed that hit.
Previous owner upgrades
Many used Chaussons come with extras already fitted, such as solar panels, upgraded habitation equipment, awnings, or satellite systems, adding real value at no extra cost to you.
Wider choice
The used market opens up access to older or discontinued models that may suit your needs perfectly.
Proven reliability
A motorhome with a full service history gives you a real-world picture of how it has performed, rather than relying on manufacturer promises alone.
Cons of Buying a Used Chausson Motorhome
Wear and tear
Previous use means you may inherit minor scuffs, marks, or ageing fixtures that need attention
Shorter or no remaining warranty
Depending on age, the original Chausson manufacturer’s warranty may have expired, leaving you more exposed to repair costs.
Unknown history
Without a full service record, it can be difficult to know how well the motorhome has been maintained or whether any issues have been left unresolved.
Older technology and spec
Older models won’t have the latest layouts, safety features or energy systems found on current Chausson ranges.
Potential hidden costs
Tyres, habitation checks, damp repairs and service work may be needed sooner than on a new purchase. This should always be factored into your budget when looking at a used Chausson Motorhome.
Full Breakdown of New vs Used Chausson Motorhome
Choosing between a new and used Chausson motorhome comes down to what matters most to you. There is no single right answer, but understanding the key differences will help you decide with confidence. Alternatively, get in touch with our team at Elite Motorhomes to help you make the right choice.
The Price Difference
The most obvious distinction is cost. A brand new Chausson starts from around £58,000 for a compact Sport Line up to £92,000 or more for a fully specced X Range. A two to three-year-old example typically sits 15–25% below its new equivalent, while a motorhome aged five years or more can represent a saving of 40–50%.
Depreciation, The Hidden Factor
New motorhomes lose a significant portion of their value in the first two to three years. Buying used means you let the first owner absorb the sharpest drop, then purchase at a point where the value has begun to level out.
Condition and Reliability
A new Chausson gives you a clean slate backed by a full manufacturer’s warranty. A used example comes with a history, which can work in your favour if it is well-serviced and clearly documented. Always request a full habitation check and factor potential repair costs into your budget.
Specification and Features
Newer models carry the latest layouts and technology. That said, many used Chaussons come with aftermarket additions already fitted by previous owners, which can make a used purchase better equipped than a base-spec new model.
So, Which Should You Choose?
If budget allows and peace of mind is a priority, buying new is a fantastic choice. If you want maximum value or more motorhome for your money, a used Chausson from a trusted dealer is well worth serious consideration.
Either way, the team at Elite Motorhomes is on hand to help you find the right one, so get in touch today.
