Pemberton Sovereign Static Caravan Guide: History, Specs, Value and Prices

Last valuation guide update: October 2026

Introduction

The Pemberton Sovereign is a rare Pemberton holiday caravan. Every Sovereign we found advertised was built or adapted for wheelchair users, with features such as a wet room, wide hallways, sliding doors and ramp access. Public evidence is limited: we could not locate a Pemberton brochure, so this guide is based on dated examples we found on dealer and park adverts.

Pemberton Sovereign quick guide

Model history

Every Pemberton Sovereign we found advertised, from 2005, 2008 and 2010 plus several undated examples, was built or adapted for wheelchair users. Features include sliding internal doors, wide hallways and external doors, a low-level kitchen and a wet room, and one 2010 example had a ceiling hoist rail in the end bedroom. Dealers describe them as rare. We could not find a Pemberton brochure, so we cannot say whether every Sovereign left the factory adapted, or when production started and ended.

How to identify a Pemberton Sovereign

• Start with the plate and paperwork. The manufacturer plate, serial or chassis number and original paperwork are the most reliable way to confirm the model and year.
• Measure it yourself. Check the length and width with a tape rather than relying on an advert headline.
• Look for 'WCF' (wheelchair friendly) or 'disabled' on paperwork; a 2010 example was sold as 'Full Winter Spec WCF'.
• Look for a wet room instead of a shower tray, sliding internal doors and a low-level kitchen.
• Record every adaptation: wet room, hoist rail, ramp, door widths.
• Measure: 35, 37 and 38 ft examples have been advertised.
• An asking price is not a value. What a park or dealer is asking tells you little about what the caravan is worth to a trade buyer.

Specs and typical layout

This is a summary of the sources we found, not a full factory specification for every year.

• Sizes in adverts: 35 x 12 (2005), 37 x 12 (2010), 38 x 12 (undated, two twin bedrooms)
• Bedrooms: 2; one example sleeps up to 6
• Adapted features in adverts: sliding internal doors, large external doors, low-level kitchen, wide hallways, wet room shower, ramp access, ceiling hoist rail in the end bedroom (2010)
• Heating and glazing in adverts: double glazing and central heating on several examples; 'Full Winter Spec' on the 2010 37 x 12

How much is a Pemberton Sovereign worth?

Individual valuation recommended. We do not publish a fixed trade-value band for the Sovereign because year, specification, condition and collection requirements can make too much difference. The accessible layout is the defining feature. It narrows the buyer pool for ordinary holiday use but suits specialist accessible-holiday and residential buyers, so the value depends heavily on which adaptations are fitted and their condition.

What would SCB actually pay?

Our offer is a trade price for the caravan itself, collected from where it stands. It is based on the year, confirmed size and layout, condition (damp, floors, roof and chassis), heating and glazing, and how straightforward collection will be, measured against what we can realistically resell it for. For a Sovereign, please list the adaptations fitted, with photos, so we can value it properly.

A trade offer will normally be lower than the retail, park and private asking prices below. Those prices often include a pitch, siting, connections, decking, site fees or a dealer margin, and the seller has time to wait for the right buyer. A trade buyer pays for the caravan alone, arranges collection and takes on the cost and risk of resale. Individual valuation recommended: send us the plate details and some photos and we will give you a figure for your caravan.

Online prices and price context

• Sited park asking (undated advert): £25,000 for a two-bed Sovereign with large accessible decking at Sheerness Holiday Park (Cosgrove Leisure)
• Sited park asking (classified, date unclear): £34,995 for an adapted Sovereign at Allonby, Cumbria

Both include a pitch, and the Allonby advert mentions 2023 site fees, so it may be old. These are list, dealer, park or private asking prices; we give the year where the source states one. None of them is a trade or cash buyer price, and none should be read as what a trade buyer would pay.

Retail vs private vs trade: what the numbers mean

• Manufacturer list price (RRP) and ex-works price: what a new caravan costs from the maker or its dealers. Ex-works usually excludes delivery and siting. Some sources state whether VAT is included and some do not; where a source does not say, we say so, and those figures should not be compared directly with prices that include VAT.
• Dealer retail asking (off-site): a dealer's price for a caravan not on a pitch. It includes the dealer's margin and often preparation or a warranty, and delivery and siting are usually extra.
• Sited park asking: a price for a caravan on a park pitch. It often includes the pitch, siting, connections, sometimes decking and part of the site fees, and the park's margin.
• Private asking: what an owner hopes to get. It can be higher than trade but may take a long time, and buyers often need the park's approval and a pitch.
• Trade or cash buyer value: what a trade buyer pays for the caravan alone, collected. It is the lowest of these figures because the buyer takes on collection, any refurbishment and the resale risk, but it is usually the quickest and simplest exit.

What affects Pemberton Sovereign value?

• Adaptations: wet room, hoist rail, ramp, door widths and their condition.
• Year and size.
• Heating and glazing.
• Pitch or no pitch: including any accessible decking or ramp that stays with the pitch.
• Condition: damp, soft floors, roof, windows and chassis condition matter more than the model name.
• Appliances and fittings: present, safe and working.
• Collection access: how easy it is to get a vehicle to the caravan and move it off the pitch.

Known features and quirks

• Every example we found is adapted for wheelchair users; dealers describe them as rare.
• Specialist dealers such as Arch Leisure Homes sell used adapted Sovereigns.
• Any ramp or accessible decking may belong to the pitch rather than the caravan.

FAQs

Was every Pemberton Sovereign wheelchair-adapted?

Every example we found was, but we could not find a Pemberton brochure, so we cannot rule out a standard Sovereign.

Is the Sovereign still made?

No. It is not on Pemberton's website.

Will you buy my Pemberton Sovereign if it is old or needs work?
