What Brisbane Caravan buyers need to know
- 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
