what is my caravan worth Page 669

Short answer: it depends on brand, age, layout, condition, mods, and the season—because caravans sell like hot pies just before the school holidays.

New vans in Australia typically run from about $30k–$120k+, with premium/off-road rigs up to $200k; comparable used examples usually land around $15k–$100k depending on age and spec.

As a thumb rule, a tidy 3–5‑year‑old van might fetch about 70–85% of its new price, while older pop‑tops and smaller models can be $5k–$25k; big-name off‑roaders hold value better.

Check recent sold listings in your state on Tradingpost, then adjust for condition (service records, leaks, tyre/awning age), upgrades (solar, lithium, suspension), and transport costs.

Get a weighbridge ticket and clear photos of the compliance plate (Tare/ATM) to boost buyer confidence and firm up the number.

If you want a sharper figure, grab a formal valuation or an insurer’s market-value quote, then split the difference with reality and how fast the phone rings.
