Used Campervans for Sale
Travelling in a campervan is one of the most popular ways to explore Australia's roads—and for a good reason. Campervans are compact, self-contained, and designed for spur-of-the-moment travel and overnight stays, so they’re ideal for couples, small families, retirement roadies, and solo adventurers. Campervans don't need a tow vehicle, are easy to drive and park, and still offer basic at-home comforts. Compared to a new campervan (and larger RVs), used campervans are also super-affordable. This expert guide will help you buy with confidence—whether you're new to RVing or upgrading your camping setup.
Second Hand Campervans - Why Buy From a Licensed Dealer?
When buying a used campervan, the seller you choose can significantly impact the experience—whether it's regarding quality, peace of mind, or the smooth handling of post-sale matters. You could go for a private sale, but that's only a good choice if you're experienced and comfortable doing your own checks, inspections, and legal paperwork.

In most cases, a standard Class C car licence allows you to drive campervans up to 4.5 tonnes GVM. If the campervan exceeds this weight, you'll need a Light Rigid (LR) licence. Be sure to check the specific weight and licensing requirements for the campervan you're interested in before making a purchase.
Buying from a reputable dealer, such as the Apollo RV Super Centre, provides added security, including warranties, comprehensive inspections, and legal protections. While private sellers might offer a lower price, they often come with higher risks, like limited recourse, if problems arise after the sale.

Yes, many dealerships, including ours, offer financing options for used campervans. Financing terms and interest rates vary, so it's essential to compare offers and understand the total repayment amount before making a decision.
Consider factors like the number of people travelling, the type of trips you plan to take, your personal lifestyle, and your driving comfort. Some campervans are more compact for solo or couples' travel, while others are designed for small families or long-term road trips.
