Selling Your Caravan: Dealer vs Private – What’s the Best Option?
So, you’re thinking of selling your caravan. Whether you’re upgrading to a new model or parting ways after years of adventure, one question always pops up:
Should you sell privately or go through a dealer?
While it might seem like doing it yourself saves money, selling privately comes with more hidden headaches than you’d expect. At Luxury RVs, we know parting with your caravan can be a big decision. We’re here to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. Let’s break down the pros and cons and show you why more people in Western Australia are choosing trusted dealers like us.
Stress-Free Selling
Private sales often involve endless phone calls, tyre-kickers, time-wasters, and awkward negotiations. You’ll need to clean, photograph, advertise, and deal with enquiries sometimes for weeks or even months.
With Luxury RVs, we take all the legwork off your hands.:
- We handle the phone calls, the walk-ins, and the paperwork.
- Our expert team takes care of listing, marketing, and dealing with potential buyers.
- You get your time and your peace of mind back.
Competitive Prices Without the Headaches
Many people assume they’ll get more money selling privately but that’s not always the case. Private sellers often underprice their caravans just to move them quickly, or overprice and scare buyers away.
At Luxury RVs:

Prepping & Presentation Done Right
