Caravan and motorhome dealer software for a yard full of vans, tourers and part-exchanges

What it looks like in practice

  1. February, the season starts early

    Buyers plan their summer trips in winter. Your new arrivals go online in the stock list with photos of the washroom, the lounge and the garage, while the yard is still wet.

  2. Tuesday, a part-exchange tourer arrives

    The couple who bought a motorhome last week left their twin-axle caravan. You add it with the creation assistant, photograph the interior and put it on the homepage slider the same afternoon.

  3. Thursday, a buyer two hours away

    He wants to see the six-berth van before he makes the trip. He books a test drive time online, and a reminder goes out before the visit, so he does not drive for nothing.

  4. Saturday, two vans side by side

    A family cannot decide between two vans in the same price range. On your website they put both side by side with photos and price, then send an enquiry about the one they want to see, straight to your sales desk.

Caravan and motorhome dealer software has to cope with a stock that is half new arrivals and half part-exchanges, buyers who research for months, and vehicles that sell on the inside as much as the outside. Vehicle Hub treats motorhomes and caravans as vehicle types of their own, next to cars, trailers and the rest of what a leisure dealer sells. Each one sits in one stock list with its price, its status and up to the full photo set your plan allows, with your watermark if you want it.

From that list, the Vehicle Hub widgets put your vans and tourers on your own website: a search, the full stock, a slider for the homepage, a side-by-side comparison and a page with its own address for every vehicle. Buyers book a test drive time online, the calendar stops two salespeople promising the same van, and every enquiry arrives by email and in CRM Business Hub with the vehicle attached. If your stock already lives on a portal or in your dealer system, Vehicle Hub imports it instead of making you type it again. For a buyer weighing up running costs, point them to the vehicle TCO calculator.

What you get

  • Motorhomes and caravans as their own types

    A coachbuilt, a campervan and a touring caravan each sit under their own vehicle type, next to the trailers and cars you also take in part-exchange.

  • Room for the photos that sell a van

    Washroom, kitchen, beds, garage, cab: upload the full set with your watermark. Vehicle pages show them in order, on the phone as well as on the desktop.

  • Caravan and motorhome dealer software for your own website

    Search, stock, slider, comparison and a page per vehicle, as widgets for any site. Each vehicle page has its own address and sits in your sitemap.

  • Test drives at a booked time

    Buyers pick a free slot online, the calendar flags clashes and reminders go out before the visit. The van is ready, and so is the salesperson.

  • Stock in from your portal or dealer system

    Import from mobile.de, dealer systems such as CXO, Carix and CarGate/Carzilla, or a CSV or XML feed at a URL. The imported vehicles stay in step with the source.

  • Enquiries with the vehicle attached

    Every question from your website arrives by email and in CRM Business Hub, naming the vehicle. When a buyer comes back three weeks later, the first enquiry is already there to pick up from.

Put your next delivery online

Add three vans with their full photo sets, place the stock widget on a page and book yourself a test drive. You will see what a buyer sees before the trip.

How to get started

  1. Start your trial before the season

    Create a workspace for the dealership and add Vehicle Hub. Fourteen days are enough to load this year's arrivals and the part-exchanges on the yard.

  2. Load your vans and tourers

    Import your stock from a portal, a dealer system or a feed file by URL, or add each vehicle with the creation assistant. Upload the interior photos in the order a buyer would walk through the van.

  3. Build the website pages

    In Widget Creator, set up the search, stock, slider and comparison widgets and the contact form, then paste the embed code into the pages of your site.

  4. Open the test drive calendar

    Enter the hours when someone can hand over a van for a test drive. Buyers pick a time online and arrive at a slot nobody else has.

Pricing

One price for the dealership workspace, starting at a fixed monthly price (see pricing): the sales team, the colleague who takes the photos and the owner all work in it. Bigger plans allow more vehicles and more photos per vehicle, which matters when every van comes with a full interior set.

A second sales site needs the Multi Branch extension.

See all plans

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

  • Motorhome, campervan and touring caravan dealers with new and used stock
  • Leisure dealers who also take cars and trailers in part-exchange
  • Dealers whose buyers research online for weeks before they visit
  • Dealers who want their own website to show the full stock, not a link to a portal

Not the right fit if

  • Dealers whose buyers filter by berths, length or layout: Vehicle Hub has no motorhome-specific fields or filters for them
  • Dealers who list only a handful of vans a year and are happy with a portal listing alone
  • Dealers who want KIMISUITE to place their vans on portals other than mobile.de; Vehicle Hub exports to mobile.de with your own mobile.de Seller API account (each export starts in test mode and you switch it live), but other portals are not connected for publishing
  • Rental businesses that need hire contracts, seasons and deposits for their fleet
  • Dealers who need workshop booking for habitation checks or a parts and accessories shop

Frequently asked questions

What should caravan and motorhome dealer software do for a small dealership?

Keep new and part-exchange stock in one list, put it on your website with every photo, and turn website visits into booked test drives and named enquiries. Vehicle Hub does that for motorhomes, caravans and the other vehicles you take in.

Can I list touring caravans as well as motorhomes?

Yes. Motorhome and caravan are separate vehicle types in Vehicle Hub, so each gets the right place in your stock and on your website.

How many photos can I show per van?

Enough for the interior tour buyers expect; the exact number depends on your plan. Every photo can carry your watermark.

Can buyers compare two vans on my website?

Yes. The comparison widget shows several vehicles side by side with photos and price, and the buyer sends an enquiry about the one they prefer. Berths, length and layout type are not fields of their own, so write them into the vehicle description.

Can a new arrival go on the homepage the day it comes in?

Yes. Add it with the creation assistant or let the import bring it in, then add it to the homepage slider. Buyers who check your site every week see the new van first.

Do I have to type in every van?

No. Vehicle Hub imports from mobile.de, dealer systems such as CXO, Carix and CarGate/Carzilla, and CSV or XML feeds by URL, and keeps the imported vans in step with the source. With your own mobile.de Seller API account it also exports the vans you manage in KIMISUITE to mobile.de; every export starts in test mode and you switch it live. Other portals are not connected for publishing.

Can my whole sales team work in it?

Yes. Vehicle Hub is priced per workspace, not per user, so the people who photograph, price and sell the vans all work in the same stock list.

How do buyers far away get in touch?

From the vehicle page on your website. The contact widget sends their question by email and into CRM Business Hub with the van named, and they can book a test drive time before they set off.
