Used Caravans For Sale Perth

When trying to budget for a second hand caravan, motorhome or camper, you need to factor in the following:

• Any replacement or spare parts you may require
• Caravan insurance 
• In Western Australia, caravan registration with DOT
• Any future servicing and maintenance inspections to ensure the caravan remains roadworthy
• Accessories such as storage tarps, towing mirrors, awnings, security devices and more

Not all used caravans come with warranties, but some do. It's best to ask the seller before making a purchase. Most dealerships offer warranties on used caravans, which is one of the main advantages of buying used from a dealer.

Used caravans can be a great way to get started in the caravanning lifestyle, but it's important to be aware of the risks involved in buying a used caravan. Here are some tips for ensuring you make a safe purchase:

• Check the condition of the caravan carefully. Look for signs of water damage, structural damage, and rust.
• Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is included in the sale. Some sellers may try to sell you an incomplete caravan, so be sure to check that everything you need is included in the sale.
• Regardless of whether you are buying from a dealer or a private seller, you need to make sure your seller is reputable. Do they have a positive seller rating? Is the dealer reputable?
• Make sure the warranty terms are presented to you clearly. For example, for off road caravans, check that they are covered to be taken on off road terrains.
• Is the caravan’s weight within the limit for your vehicle? You won’t be able to tow the caravan if it’s too heavy for it.

Yes, many lenders offer rates for used caravan purchases. Our sales team here at Lewis RV are also on hand to assist you with any finance queries.

Yes, used caravans require maintenance. Just like a new caravan, a used caravan will need an annual service and check-up to keep it in good condition.

Some of the things that should be checked during an annual service include the water system, gas system, brakes, tyres and wheels, and lighting. It's also a good idea to check the interior and exterior of the caravan for any damage or signs of wear and tear. If any repairs are required, they should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

A used caravan can last a long time if it is well-maintained, making them an attractive option for those who don’t have the budget for a brand new caravan. Caravans that are not well-maintained may only last for a few years. Some things that you can do to help prolong the life of your caravan include regularly cleaning, checking the tyres and brakes, and taking your caravan for routine services and inspections.

• Set up the tow ball on your car

• Replace or fix any broken parts
• Prepare to embark on your first caravan adventure!

Not necessarily. It depends on the caravan. On occasion, private sellers may have cheaper prices, but they may also be selling a caravan that is in poor condition or needs repairs. Caravans sold by dealers usually have been inspected and serviced by the dealer, so you can be sure that it is in good condition and doesn't need any repairs. Therefore, a privately sold used caravan could end up costing a lot more in the long run.
