Caravan loans allow individuals to borrow funds for the purpose of buying a recreational vehicle (RV) like a caravan or campervan.

Recreational vehicles are one of the best ways to experience the wild side of Australia, but not everyone can afford to fork out the upfront costs involved in purchasing a leisure vehicle. Much like a car loan, a caravan loan enables individuals to borrow the funds they need to purchase a RV, whether it’s a full-sized motorhome or a compact camper trailer. Over the term of the loan, borrowers simply make repayments on the amount borrowed while enjoying all the benefits of owning and making use of a caravan.

Individuals looking to apply for a caravan loan will need to provide the following:

  • Proof of identity – valid identification documents include a passport, a driver’s licence, or any other government-issued identification.
  • Evidence of income – recent payslips or bank statements that show a consistent inflow of income from employment.
  • Address information – documentation that showcases a current residential address such as a utility bill or bank statement.
  • Details about the caravan or RV to be purchased – including the make, model, year, and purchase price.
  • Credit history – information relating to existing or past loans that will provide lenders with a clear picture of personal finances.

Can a caravan loan be used to purchase a used caravan?

Yes — caravan loans can be used to purchase any type of vehicle that is classified as a RV, regardless of whether they are new or used. However, there are significant differences between buying a new or used caravan, not just in terms of the quality and performance of the vehicle, but also for the loan terms and approval process. New caravan purchases are more likely to be able to be used as collateral for a secured caravan loan, which in turn may have more favourable loan terms.
