Considering Selling or Trading?

For many Caravanners, the thought of selling your Caravan or Motorhome privately can be daunting. There are many questions that you may have:

  • Where will I advertise the RV?
  • How much will it cost to advertise?
  • Will I get many tyre kickers?
  • What about on-line fraudsters?
  • Do I need a Safety and Gas Certificate?
  • How do I prove and provide proof of ownership to the new buyer?
  • How do I handle the Registration transfer?
  • Who's responsible for Stamp Duty (Motorhomes) if applicable?
  • Will I need to clean and detail or service the RV before selling?

Whilst it's easier than ever to advertise your RV on-line, it's the organisation of everything else that can be time consuming, costly and often offers only a small financial reward over selling or trading to a reputable dealer.

That's where we can help!

With almost 40 years in the industry, we can remove the hassle by purchasing or trading your RV. We will take care of all of the paperwork and Registration transfers, Safety and Gas certificates, PPSR certificates, Servicing and Repairs as well as on-selling the RV and looking after the new owners. We've outlined some key benefits below:

Your time and effort - Simply put, we'll save you the time and hassle of selling it yourself

One on One - It's just you and us in this transaction, only having to deal with one person throughout the transaction

Reduced loan size when Financing - If you're trading, we can use your trade-in as the deposit, reducing your loan requirements

No need for tip top shape - We will trade your RV factoring in for any repairs or maintenance that may be required

What region do we cover?

We cover a region within 150km of Brisbane, including the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and West of Toowoomba. If you live outside of this region, we're always happy to meet you at a mutually suitable location to complete a final appraisal.

What Brands and RV types do we Buy or Trade?

Obviously we're Jayco people and love buying and trading Jayco's, however we do consider all Australian made brands. We Trade wind up Camper Trailers, Pop Tops, Expandas, Caravans, Toy Haulers & Motorhomes.

The products we don't we buy

Whilst we may consider a Tent/Camper Trailer as a Trade-in, this is not our specialty and we generally don't buy them. Also, we don't deal in homemade products, heavily modified products, heavily damaged products, imported products or repairable write-offs. 

What if I have finance owing?

In this case, we'll need you to disclose any finance owing on the RV and we'll talk you through the options in terms of paying out the loan.

How does it work?

Simply complete the appraisal form below, we will review your RV, calculate a Wholesale value based on our own research and methodology, and contact you with an estimate, subject to our physical inspection.

From there, if we're close to your expectation, we'll organise to meet at your place or ours for an inspection and audit of your RV. If we agree on a purchase value, we'll make you an offer!
