How to sell a Caravan in Australia

01

Get a professional caravan inspection

A pre-sale inspection documents tyre age, coupling condition, electrical systems and checks for water ingress. It supports your asking price and builds buyer confidence.

02

List all specifications accurately

ATM, tare, length, berths, solar wattage, battery type and capacity, water tank capacity, tow coupling type. Buyers with specific tow vehicles need these numbers.

03

Post on GOT ONE? with your full spec sheet

Buyers on GOT ONE? specify exactly what caravan they need — length, layout, off-grid capability, budget. Match their requirements and respond with your van.

04

Arrange a proper handover inspection

Walk the buyer through all systems: solar, water pump, gas, awning, slide-outs. Provide the owner's manual and any modification documentation.

05

Transfer registration correctly

Caravans must be re-registered or transferred in the buyer's state within the required period. Provide a bill of sale and ensure the compliance plate is visible.

What separates a fast sale from a long wait

  • State the ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and tare weight — buyers need to match their tow vehicle rating
  • List solar panel wattage, battery capacity and inverter size for off-grid buyers
  • Include the layout name (rear bed, front bed, ensuite, tandem) so buyers can self-qualify
  • Disclose any water ingress, delamination or chassis rust honestly — these are deal-breakers when discovered during inspection

Common questions from Caravan sellers

August–October before the summer touring season and January–February (post-Christmas) are peak demand periods. School holiday windows also drive buyer activity. On GOT ONE?, year-round buyers post specific requirements including travel style and tow vehicle.
Press firmly on all internal walls, especially corners and near windows. Check the floor around the shower and kitchen for soft spots. A professional caravan inspection ($200–$400) will document any delamination or moisture ingress and give buyers confidence.
Caravans manufactured after 1989 should have a compliance plate. Missing or defaced plates can make registration and insurance difficult for the buyer. Consult your state transport authority if the plate is missing.
