Model history

The Arrondale has been in Pemberton's range since at least 2013, when Leisuredays reviewed it (ex-works £79,977) and noted a BS 3632 residential option. At 16ft wide it sits between a 12 to 13ft caravan and a 20ft twin lodge.

The 2018 range offered 45 x 16 and 42 x 16 layouts (ex-works £87,777 including VAT), with the 45ft utility room convertible to a third bedroom; the 2022 update (ex-works £107,638 including VAT) changed the styling. In 2026 Pemberton lists three Arrondale layouts (45 x 16 three-bed, 45 x 16 two-bed and 42 x 16 two-bed), from £137,405 including VAT (October 2026).

How to identify a Pemberton Arrondale

• Start with the plate and paperwork. Check the manufacturer plate, serial or chassis number and any original paperwork, then confirm the model against the measured size, layout and specification.
• 16ft width with an offset beam along the full length.
• 45ft models: large entrance hallway with storage; on the 2-bed, a utility room behind the lounge.
• Front doors: tri-fold on early models, bifold on current models.
• Measure it yourself. Advert headlines often round sizes or misstate the width.

How much is a Pemberton Arrondale worth?

There is no single figure for a Pemberton Arrondale. A cash offer depends on the individual caravan: its year, confirmed size and layout, specification, condition, and what collection involves. Model year (2013 to 2026), length, holiday or BS 3632 build and options make too much difference for a single figure.

Individual valuation recommended.

What would SCB actually pay?

We do not publish a fixed trade-value band for this model because year, specification, condition and collection requirements can make too much difference. At 16ft wide, collection needs more planning than a standard caravan, which also affects what a trade buyer can pay.

What we pay for a Pemberton Arrondale is a trade price for the caravan itself, removed from the pitch. It will be below park, dealer and private asking prices, because those include things a trade buyer does not get (a pitch, siting, site-fee packages, warranties and the seller's margin) and leave out costs a trade buyer carries (collection, transport, refurbishment and resale).

Online prices and price context

• Manufacturer list price, current (inc VAT): from £137,405 (Pemberton website, October 2026)
• Ex-works history: £79,977 inc VAT (2013), £87,777 inc VAT (2018), £107,638 inc VAT (2022) (Leisuredays)

The 2013 review's price note says its ex-works figure includes VAT. Current list prices exclude delivery, siting and a pitch.

Retail vs private vs trade: what the numbers mean

• Manufacturer RRP or list price: what the maker quotes for a new caravan, usually before options, delivery, siting and pitch fees. Check whether VAT is included.
• Ex-works price: the factory price for a new unit before delivery and siting; review sites quote it for the model year they tested.
• Dealer retail asking price: a dealer's price for new or used stock. Off-site dealer prices usually exclude a pitch; dealer margin is built in.
• Sited park asking price: what a park asks for a caravan already on a pitch. It often includes siting, connections, steps, decking and sometimes a period of site fees, plus the park's margin.
• Private asking price: what an owner hopes to get, often with the caravan staying on its pitch, subject to park approval and any park commission.
• Trade or cash buyer value: what a buyer such as SCB pays for the caravan itself, removed from the pitch and collected. It is lower than retail because the buyer pays for collection, transport, any refurbishment, a new pitch or resale, and takes on the risk.

An asking price is not a sale price, and neither is what a trade buyer pays. None of the figures in this guide is an SCB purchase price.

What affects Pemberton Arrondale value?

• Year and paperwork. The plate, serial number and any original paperwork confirm the model year and specification.
• Confirmed size and layout. Measured length, width and bedroom count, not an advert headline.
• Heating and glazing. Whether central heating and double glazing were fitted, and whether the heating works.
• Condition. Damp, roof, floors, windows, cladding and chassis condition matter more than cosmetic finish.
• Appliances and fittings. Whether they are present, safe and working.
• Collection access. Ground conditions, access for the transport vehicle and the caravan's width all affect cost.
• Pitch or no pitch. A trade buyer is buying the caravan, not the pitch, so pitch value and site-fee packages do not transfer.

Known features and quirks

• Lodge-width body: collection is more complex than for a 12ft caravan.
• The 45ft two-bed utility room can serve as a third bedroom.

FAQs

How long has the Arrondale been made?

Since at least 2013, and Pemberton still lists it in 2026.

Does a BS 3632 residential specification change anything?

Ask for the certificate if it is claimed. Some residential-spec caravans are sited on holiday-only parks, so how the caravan is sited and used matters as well as how it was built.

Can I sell it and keep the pitch?

No. A trade buyer buys the caravan and removes it. Talk to your park about notice, any final site fees and what happens to the pitch.
