Used motorhomes in Australia typically sell for A$11,500 to A$57,500 (about $8,100 to $40,400). A motorhome is the highest-value thing most people ever sell privately, and the sale rests on three things: documented ownership, no outstanding finance, and cleared funds before the keys move.

Selling a motorhome 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’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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
- Commission a damp survey and share the readings
- Gather both vehicle and habitation service records
Getting it ready
- Confirm there is no outstanding finance, and be ready to evidence it. Buyers run checks against the registration.
- Check for damp throughout the habitation area and test every system — fridge, heating, water, electrics, hookup and leisure battery.

Put in the description
- Make, model, base vehicle, year, mileage and berth
- Layout, and licence category needed for the weight
- Service history for both the base vehicle and the habitation area, with dates
Make, base vehicle, year, berth and layout: “[Make] on Fiat Ducato, 2017, 4 Berth, Fixed Rear Bed, 46k Miles”. Berth, layout and mileage are the searches. Habitation service history and a recent MOT belong in the title because they materially move the price.
February to August, peaking in spring. Autumn listings take longer and achieve less, so if it is late in the year, storing until spring is usually worth more than accepting a winter offer.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$57,497 a buyer pays is the A$57,497 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 motorhome 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 outstanding finance?
Answer plainly and be ready to prove it. On a vehicle at this value a buyer will always check, and any ambiguity ends the conversation.
What is a habitation check?
An annual inspection of the living area — gas, electrics, water and damp. A recent certificate reassures buyers considerably.
Does damp always mean walk away?
Not always, but it is expensive to fix properly. A recent survey with clear readings is the single most valuable document you can provide.
