With prices shifting after the post-COVID caravan boom, here's a realistic guide to what used caravans actually sell for in Australia right now.
With prices shifting after the post-COVID caravan boom, here's a realistic guide to what used caravans actually sell for in Australia right now — by type, age, and brand.
The Australian caravan market has gone through a wild few years. The COVID travel restrictions of 2020–2021 sent demand — and prices — to record highs. A secondhand Jayco that might have sold for $35,000 in 2019 was fetching $55,000+ in 2022. That frenzy has cooled considerably. New supply has caught up, and used prices have softened meaningfully from their peaks.
For buyers in 2026, the market is actually quite healthy: more choice, less FOMO, and more room to negotiate.

What most affects used caravan prices?
Condition above all else — Two identical vans of the same year and model can have a 30–40% price difference based on condition. No water damage, full service history, and a meticulous owner is worth significantly more.
Location — Vans in major cities sell faster and at higher prices. Regional sellers often price lower, creating buying opportunities.
Features and extras — Solar, lithium battery systems, air conditioning, and diesel heaters all add value. Not dollar for dollar, but meaningfully.
Brand reputation — Jayco commands a premium. Track Trailer and Tvan hold value exceptionally well in the off-road segment.
Camplify hire history — Vans with verified Camplify reviews and documented maintenance are easier to sell and often achieve a slight premium.
Price trends to watch in 2026
- High-price private listings are sitting longer as COVID-era valuations correct
- Quality stock at fair prices still moves quickly — overpriced stock sits forever
- Lithium battery upgrades commanding real premiums as free camping popularity grows
- Off-road segment remains strong — remote Australian travel appetite shows no sign of slowing
