What to Know Before You Buy
Motorhomes and Campervans in Australia
Explore motorhomes and campervans for sale across Australia and learn what to consider before choosing the right vehicle for your travels.
Looking for a motorhome or campervan? These vehicles combine transport and accommodation, allowing you to travel without needing a separate tow vehicle.
They range from compact campervans suited to shorter trips through to larger motorhomes designed for longer stays and extended touring.
Because you are buying both a vehicle and a living space, it is important to consider the mechanical condition as well as the internal layout and features.
What Is the Difference Between a Motorhome and a Campervan?
A motorhome is generally larger and may provide more permanent living areas, while a campervan is usually more compact and built within a van body.
Motorhomes often have separate spaces for sleeping, cooking and dining. Campervans tend to use convertible seating and compact layouts to make the most of the available space.
Common features include:
- Fixed or convertible sleeping areas
- Seating or dining space
- Cooking facilities
- Internal storage
- Built-in living space within the vehicle
Key Features to Look For
Vehicle Size
Consider the vehicle’s length, height and overall size, particularly if you plan to drive through towns, use smaller campsites or park in standard spaces.
Layout and Sleeping Space
Choose a layout that provides enough sleeping, dining and living space for the number of people travelling.
Travel Seats and Seatbelts
Check the vehicle’s registered seating capacity and approved seatbelts. The number of sleeping berths may not be the same as the number of people who can legally travel in the vehicle.
Mechanical Condition
Review the service history and check the engine, transmission, brakes, tyres and other mechanical components.
Weight and Licence Requirements
Check the vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Mass and confirm that you hold the correct driver’s licence for that vehicle.
Storage and Payload
Consider how much storage is available and how much weight can be added for passengers, water, fuel, equipment and personal belongings.
Power, Water and Appliances
Check which power, water and appliance systems are included and whether they suit the way you plan to travel. Features such as a refrigerator, house battery, solar, toilet, shower, heating or air conditioning will vary between vehicles.

I would recommend FindMyVan to anyone wishing to sell their van, it was so much easier than working through a caravan dealer or selling privately.

We found Vicky very easy to deal with even though we weren’t herclient her help was invaluable to get us through the process.
Stu, South Australia
Hello, I found Vicky and Find My Van after a great recommendation from a friend of mine. Vicky found my fantastic van only 2 hours away from where I live. I would highly recommend Vicky and Find My Van if you are in the market for a caravan. Vicky is now selling a caravan for a family member right now.
Paul J, South Australia
Vicky did a wonderful job of selling our caravan quickly and efficiently, We would definitely recommend her service. The whole team was very professional
Andrew G, South Australia
I found Vicky extremely helpful throughout the process of purchasing our caravan. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her and she responded quickly to our questions. A very positive experience. Great to work with a professional who knows her business and the various complexities around selling and purchasing.
David and Michelle South Australia
We recently sold our van through Find my van. Vicky was very professional and reliable. She took all of the hassle out of advertising and setting up genuine viewings of our van. She filtered out the time wasters for us. It didn’t take long at all to sell. In the end we met the buyers of our van and we were pleased it went to a lovely couple, who we hope will enjoy it as much as we did. We would highly recommend either buying or selling a preloved van through Find my van.
Shane, South Australia
I recently used the services of Find My Van who were very well represented by Vicky. Vicky arranged the sale of my dads caravan, obtaining a price we were all happy with. Vicky was professional, responded promptly to messages and easily negotiated issues with our own unavailability and any last minute requests for viewing arrangements by interested parties. All in all, Vicky and Find My Van took all the hard work out of our hands and provided the service that we were hoping for. Would definitely use and recommend Find My Van (and Vicky) again

Alicia, South Australia
Working with Find My Van was the best decision we made! We had been on the hunt for our dream van for months but it was way too hard trying to set up viewings as we live so far away from everything. Vicky did all the work for us and set up video calls so she could walk us through it.We found our new home on wheels thanks to Vicky going above and beyond and keeping it stress free.
Melanie R, Western Australia
Cannot recommend Vicky highly enough , from start to finish she went above what was required and made our purchase smooth sailing , and even organised a great quote in getting our van from East to West.
Dianne R, South Australia
It was a pleasure to work with Vicky & her team. Vicky went above & beyond for us. We tried selling privately which was an absolute nightmare. As soon as we signed with Vicky everything was taken care of, the van was sold asap & we were extremely happy with the service we received. We would highly recommend selling your van with Find My Van.
Daphne H, New South Wales
We would like to thank Vicky & her team for selling our camper. Vicky was very professional & we appreciated the fact that all the paperwork was put together early in the process which made the sale go through easily. The truck & slide on North Star was only going to suit certain people, & that made the sale a little difficult. We would certainly recommend Find My Van.
Ben Royal Flair Piazza Purchaser
I couldn’t be happier with the van I purchased through Find My Van. I thoroughly recommend FMV to buy or sell.
Paul S, New Zealand
Amazing response times, excellent knowledge and very personable.
Neil H, New South Wales
Vicky was awesome to work with and sold my van quickly. The whole process was easy and well organised.
Bruce, South Australia
Managed to sell our van at a good price in a short time. Lovely people to deal with and everything went smoothly.
Jo, New South Wales Purchaser
What a great experience purchasing our new van with Vicky’s professional help & support. I’ve never used a broker before and was initially a bit nervous, but those nerves were quickly gone.
Vicky quickly got a sense of what we wanted and what we didn’t want. She did the searching, saved us so much time and money, and found an absolute gem of a van that is perfect for us. I highly recommend Find my Van
Ray S, Queensland
Friendly, seamless and great peace of mind to deal with. I’ll be back for the next van!
Joanna, South Australia
Vicky was amazing. She was so professional and selling our van to one of her clients was hassle free and reliable. It was an absolute pleasure and are so grateful that Vicky provided us with a stress free safe and dependable service.
Rob, South Australia
Vicky at Find My Van was very helpful, professional and overall did a fantastic job in selling my Stoney Creek Van for me. I would most certainly recommend find my van for anyone either looking to purchase or sell a second hand caravan.
Lynne, South Australia
I made contact with caravan dealers and was either advised “No room” or quoted excessive fees and charges to sell our caravan on consignment.
I began researching for a reliable option to sell our caravan and was excited to find a caravan broker. Vicky is very professional and thorough in all aspects of buying and selling a caravan. Distance is not a barrier to transacting. Her communication is brilliant.
Presale and pre-purchase requirements are thorough including security and safety checks. We will recommend Find My Van to folk wishing to buy or sell a caravan.
