Used caravans in Australia typically sell for A$3,850 to A$28,750 (about $2,700 to $20,200). Caravans sell on damp — every experienced buyer arrives with a moisture meter, so find out where you stand before you list rather than in front of them.

Selling a caravan in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Have a damp survey done and share the readings
- Check every seal around windows and roof lights
Getting it ready
- Find the CRIS or equivalent registration document, the chassis number and the service history, and confirm no finance is outstanding.
- Test everything: fridge on all fuels, heater, water pump, lights, sockets, and the gas system’s most recent safety check.

- The whole caravan outside, side on, hitched and level
- The kitchen, washroom and every appliance
- The chassis number, the paperwork, and any damp stain, delamination, crack or repair
Put in the description
- Make, model, year, berth number and layout
- MTPLM and unladen weight, which decide what car can legally tow it
- Service history, last damp report, and gas safety check date
Make, model, year, berth and layout: “[Make] [Model] 2015, 4 Berth, Fixed Bed, Motor Mover”. Berth number and layout are the searches. A motor mover, awning or full service history each belong in the title because each materially changes the price.
February to August is the season, peaking in spring. Autumn and winter sales are slow and achieve less, so overwintering a caravan is usually worth more than discounting it in November.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$28,748 a buyer pays is the A$28,748 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a caravan in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Is there any damp?
Get a reading or a recent damp report and share it. Every buyer checks, so pre-empting it with a real figure is far stronger than waiting to be caught out.
Should I get a damp survey before selling?
Yes. A recent report with clear readings removes the buyer’s main worry and usually pays for itself in the price.
What is floor delamination?
The floor layers separating, felt as soft or spongy patches underfoot. It is a serious and costly structural issue.
