Used caravans in the UAE typically sell for AED 9,900 to AED 74,150 (about $2,700 to $20,200). Caravans are priced on damp above everything else, and a damp survey is the single most useful thing a seller can provide.

Selling a caravan in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Walk the floor feeling for soft or spongy areas
- Check every seal around windows and roof lights
Getting it ready
- Check for damp yourself around every window, roof light, seam and the front and rear panels, and along the floor edges.
- Find the CRIS or equivalent registration document, the chassis number and the service history, and confirm no finance is outstanding.

- 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
- What is included — awning, motor mover, battery, gas bottles, accessories
High value. Never hand over keys or documents until funds have fully cleared. Write a dated receipt naming both parties, the chassis number and the price. WishThrift does not process or hold payments, so the transaction is entirely between you and the buyer.
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 AED 74,144 a buyer pays is the AED 74,144 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 the UAE?
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 and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What does it weigh?
Give the MTPLM from the plate. Buyers must match it to their car’s towing limit and licence entitlement, and it is a legal constraint rather than a preference.
What is the biggest issue with used caravans?
Damp, without question. It is expensive to repair and is the first thing any informed buyer checks.
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.
