The motor home was taken from The Yard on Willand Road, Cullompton
Sonia McColl, a 70-year-old widow, said she had been left feeling vulnerable after finding out the new home she had purchased had been nicked from a haulage company's yard, with the 10-tonne home, sitting on a 40ft trailer, disappearing without a trace.
Sonia has now been left homeless, with police appealing for the public's help to find the motor home
Police have asked anyone who has seen the home being driven to contact them
She said, "I had arranged for everything to be done to be put into a new home.
"The haulage company said they couldn't deliver it because the driveway wasn't quite what they wanted it to be."
She added that the TS Haulage company had been unable to carry out the final delivery, saying: "I managed to find another haulage company in two weeks to have it delivered, but before they were going to pick it up on Saturday, my home disappeared."
It wasn't realised that the home had been taken from the company's site at Willand Road, Cullompton until Friday, giving the thieves plenty of time to get away after it was believed to have been taken on Wednesday or Thursday.
She added: "I don't know what I'm going to do to be honest.
"I'm numb actually, I'm not functioning properly, I can't cry.
"I think I'm still in shock about the whole thing."
She said she had been excitedly looking for a Christmas tree that would fit in her new home when she found out her home had been taken.
The distraught mother said she was desperate for someone to find her new home, saying: "You can't just lose a motor home."
Sonia said she was left numb by the theft, and hadn't even been able to cry over it as she was so shocked
