Notes
The comparison includes six caravan shops. The metrics are ones that the shop states on its own pages: home delivery, financing without a down payment, financing interest rate and rental.
Information that the shop does not publish gets 0 points, and the reason is shown for each company. Jokicaravan's business has been bought by ProCaravan, and the website says it is moving to ProCaravan Joensuu.
Financing rates are campaign rates or "up to" rates. The actual rate is determined in the finance company's credit decision.
About this comparison
We scored 6 nationwide recreational vehicle dealers on 20 metrics: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality. The key question: is the price of the caravan or motorhome for sale shown in euros online before you make contact?
A caravan, motorhome or camper van is a big purchase, and the biggest difference between dealers is price transparency. Some dealers list their entire stock for sale with prices and financing instalments online, others only show the range and direct you to make contact. We compared dealers on how openly price, browsable used stock, warranty, financing, trade-in and servicing are shown on the site before you make contact.
What transparency means in this category
Vehicle prices in euros publicly in the sales listing (25), inventory for sale browsable online (18), warranty or warranty benefits (new and used) stated (15), trade-in credit or trading in an old vehicle described (12), financing options presented (12), own servicing or repair shop described (10), business ID (Y-tunnus) or operating company displayed (8)
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
When buying a caravan or motorhome, the biggest single difference between dealers is price transparency: some dealers list their entire stock for sale with prices and financing instalments online, others show only the model range and ask you to get in touch. A public price in the sales listing gives the buyer a comparable starting point.
The total cost of a recreational vehicle consists not only of the purchase price but also of financing, any trade-in credit and maintenance during use, so a dealer's description of financing options, trade-ins and its own workshop says a lot about how comprehensive the service is across the whole period of ownership.
The warranty for new and used recreational vehicles varies by dealer and brand, and the condition of used stock matters a lot, so transparency of warranty and inspection practices and a browsable, up-to-date stock weigh heavily in the comparison.
Comparison guide
What to consider in the comparison
A public euro price in a sales listing gives the buyer a comparable starting point. Some dealers also show the monthly financing instalment for each vehicle, so the monthly cost is clear immediately.
The condition of a used recreational vehicle matters a lot. A clearly described warranty or inspection practice and an up-to-date, browsable stock of used vehicles show how open the dealer is about its used fleet.
The total cost consists of the purchase price plus financing, any trade-in credit and maintenance during use. Having its own service or repair workshop shows that the dealer offers help after the sale too.
Some shops direct their inventory to an external listing service, so prices and technical details are found there and not on the shop's own site. That does not mean there are no prices, but transparency on the shop's own site is then thinner.
How Suomen Paras assesses and scores
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
Expert tips
Check whether the price of a vehicle for sale is shown in euros already in the listing or only after contact. A public price makes comparing dealers easier.
Find out the warranty for a new and a used vehicle and any inspection practice before the purchase, as they vary by dealer and make.
Ask about the real interest rate and costs of the financing, and the trade-in credit for your own vehicle. The financing calculator and the stated interest rate on the website already give an indication in advance.
Check whether the dealer has its own service workshop and in which towns, because a recreational vehicle needs annual servicing and leak tests throughout ownership.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price of recreational vehicles shown on dealers' websites?
Most of the dealers in the comparison list the vehicles for sale with prices in euros and often also the monthly financing payment. Some direct their stock to an external listing service, in which case the prices are found there.
Can an old caravan or motorhome be traded in?
Most dealers take the old vehicle in part exchange or buy it. The exact amount of the trade-in credit is usually only clear after the vehicle has been inspected.
What does transparency mean in this comparison?
How openly the business states on its website the price, browsable inventory, warranty, financing, trade-in and servicing before you need to leave your contact details.
