BUYERS BE AWARE OF HOME-MADE OR NON-COMPLIANT CAMPERVANS I have been looking to buy a small motorhome or campervan for a couple of months. What I have found out is that quite a number of people advertising "custom built" campers still have them registered as a van and that the vehicles have not been re-certified as a campervan. I had thought that… Read more

caravancampersales.com.au would have vetted their advertisers to ensure that what they are selling is legally compliant or at least had some sort of warning for buyers to be aware that home-made campers may not be legal. I also found the price of home-made campers is still top dollar, even though they have not incurred the cost of certification. A warning to other buyers, if you are considering a custom build, ask for a copy of the engineering report and a photo of the sticker on the inside of the van confirming a 2nd build. Do not put your holiday at risk of your vehicle being impounded because of non-compliance. Caravancamping.com.au seem to have put a lot of effort into the development of their website to facilitate payment though them, advertiser ID etc, but little effort has been put into ensuring what their advertisers are selling is kosher.

Terrible. Definitely not worth the money. We paid a huge amount for premium ad. Didn’t get interest at all. Facebook marketplace free ad got us interest, views on ad and inspections. To me it was just extra money lost on this ad we paid. They should take money for the ad when they sell your van. Doesn’t appear like it gets enough hits. They… Read more

should work harder for the money they charge. Perhaps they should have a Facebook page and be posting ads? At the end of the day that’s what worked! Or maybe other social media sites? Would not recommend caravansales at all. Try elsewhere and save your money. Trading post also kept cold calling and messaging me about paying to list in their site also. It’s not something I ever use so I wouldn’t recommend that site either. I think the best way of selling is probably a good Facebook marketplace ad and pay for boosts for a week or two to gain audience. Goodluck

Why can’t you identify the model identification on every caravan you search???? Has the App changed?? Some Manufacturers have hundreds for sale but I don’t want to have to go through hundreds to get to the select few I’m looking for. This is ridiculous????

The service is easy and one is always updated on progress. Easy to advertise. Show reply

Easy enough to use the website but got a lot more enquiries (and sold it) via Facebook Marketplace Show reply

Have used this website for selling a caravan before and all went well. Used again for sale for family deceased estate sale and went amazing. Listed the caravan and had immediate hits. Someone came the next day and a few days later paid a deposit. The van sold almost immediately and I still had other people wanting to look at the van if the sale… Read more ·  1

fell through. Already telling other people to use this site if they want to sell their van. Well worth the cost of advertising on the site.

I put my ad on caravan camping sales , I added over 20 photos and a lot of information . My van was only small 2 berth and it got listed as 5 berth for a 14 ft van . My frustration was the ad was wrong and it took ages to correct . By the time the… Read more

ad was fixed and live , almost a week later I had already sold the van on Facebook marketplace totally free . So it cost me $150 for nothing , also customer service was very unhelpful

Ridiculously expensive for a private seller and I got very little interest from the site. Other free platforms generated much more interest and, finally the sale. Wouldn't use again.

Don't waste your money or time Advertising on here. Nothing but Scammers and time wasters The Site needs to do better Verification of people sending messages

I had huge interest through facebook and very very minimal interest through caravan and camping sales/carsales. I would say carsales is falsely advertising. Highly ineffective and basically a fee for no service. Will never use again and will be advising others same.

Recieved 3 messages of interest through the ad published on carsales network at a cost of $240.00. In the same period, Facebook marketplace generated 32 genuine messages of interest at a cost of $16.00 I definitely wont be using, or recommending the carsales network to anyone.

After paying a ridicules $180 with caravan camping sales to list on your website then since Feb this year 8 months later and with only one enquiry a time waster. I decided to list on facebook which is where I normally sell everything. My caravan sold instantly within 24 hours. that just shows how disappointed I am with caravan camping sales and would never use or recommend you ever again. very disappointed

Received faulty cow fish antenna contacted the guys at sales so unhelpful told me they will contact cowfish and someone would contact me several calls later email from cowfish to say they would pick it up and a technician would look at it in the mean time hole in my caravan roof and the caravan and camping place has my money Had enough so just… Read more

asked for a refund I was informed from Nathan that I would have to wait until the antenna was delivered back to cowfish and assessed!!! Still waiting for my refund This company is so quick to take your money but so unwilling to give it back DONT USE THESE GUYS I CERTAINLY WONT BE

For the amount of money spent on this ad ($299), I got less messages and ranked lower in search results that I did with the free Facebook Marketplace ad. The reach and quality of leads from caravan camping sales was very low with a lot of time wasters. When I bought this up with CaravanCampingSales and asked for a refund, they refused and instead… Read more

upgraded my ad which they said would make my “ad appear higher in search rankings”. However the performance of the ad didn’t change at all and still only received a total of 4 enquiries in a 4 week period. Very unsatisfied with this product and don’t see the value in paying to post a caravan sale here. You’re not offering anything different to what other marketplaces do for free.

I was charged over $200 to list my caravan for sale and when it was listed it first appeared well down the list. After two weeks I had received no inquiries. The same listing on FB Marketplace received many inquiries and the van sold through them inside two weeks.

Not sure why anyone would pay to use this site to sell a caravan. Twice now have paid hundreds of dollars and not one enquiry over a month or so of having them listed. Put them onto Market place and get hundreds of clicks and saves along with multiple offers resulting in quick sales. Contacted the support office to get some help as to why I not getting any enquirers and they just don’t care.

If selling a car privately, highly recommend. I sold my car in 2024 within 1 week of advertising. Decent number of enquiries. If selling a caravan via their caravan sales arm, don't bother! Only had 1 enquiry in 5 weeks of listing. Ended up selling the caravan via FB marketplace with 30+ enquiries.

I purchased two jerry can holders in December 2023. They were made from such cheap steel that when I put a 20litre container of water in the holder it bent so badly that I was pulled over by another driver who told me I was about to lose the jerrycan as the holder had bent. I contacted the store and was assured I would receive a full refund. I… Read more

contacted them many times before finally taking the matter to The Department of Fair Trading in February 2025. Low and behold they finally paid the refund.

This is for caravan camping sales stores. Ordered an IC50 , received IC25 . Told them to return and refund money as I had to get another as I was going away. No refund just sent correct one out. I told them I will return them as soon as I get back from holidays. They have had both back for 2 weeks and keep getting same responses, that they are in… Read more

a sales period and to busy to check it. I would stay clear of this company, as you will keep getting the same replies . I think they just copy and post replies and not read the emails.

$129 later no one enquired, not even a scam. No feed back other than a standard email. My caravan was the second cheapest in its range, plenty older vans going for more. Gumtree at least got a few tyre kickers and lowballers, all show and no go.

Do not use this website to sell – the vehicle details put on automatically by Caravan sales were the wrong ones and I requested for these to be changed several time with no response. I wasted over $200 on this advert

Ineffective advertising – When you advertise your caravan on this site your description is put under comments. I couldn't find it and I knew it was there. I was motivated to find it and eventually did after opening all the headings. Listed under features is the manufacturers specifications. If I was a buyer I would just move on, scratching my head because there was no description.

Not 1 enquiry from paid ad – Never got 1 enquiry from my paid ad. Facebook is free to advertise and i got all my enquiries from fb. Carsales network was useless to me.

Sold the vehicle on Facebook Marketplace where 90% of the sales enquiries came from. And Marketplace is free – Very few enquiries from this ad as I did not select the 'Featured' option and pay big $'s.
