Let us help you get a competitive caravan loan
What is a caravan loan?
A caravan loan, much like a car loan, can be secured or unsecured where you use your new caravan as security. There are pros and cons to both loans; for example, a secured loan offers a lower interest rate whereas an unsecured loan offers more flexibility.
Here is a quick guide to the different types of caravan loans available:
- Secured loans — Here, you can use your caravan as security and receive a lower interest rate. You must keep in mind that your caravan is at risk if you default on the loan.
- Unsecured loans —An unsecured loan gives you more flexibility to purchase accessories and insurance for your caravan. The interest rate is higher as the lender is taking a risk by lending you money.
- Caravan financing from a specialist lender — There are several specialist lenders in this space but we recommend checking their reputation before applying for a motorhome loan.
With a caravan loan in Newcastle, you can purchase a full caravan, a pop-top/pop-out caravan, wind-up/wind-out caravans, a teardrop trailer, a five-wheeler, an RV, or a motorhome. You get to choose how you want to travel!
When choosing a motorhome loan, compare interest rates and lenders to ensure you get the most bang for your buck.

Frequently asked questions
Is a caravan loan a personal loan?
Yes, it is a personal loan for buying a new or used motorhome. The loan process is essentially the same, but we’ll help you find a better comparison rate.
Can I get a caravan loan if I’m retired?
Yes! Caravan loans are available to people in various financial situations including pensioners. It is, however, important to note that most lenders have different eligibility criteria and most lenders have minimum income requirements and/or standards when it comes to the form of income. Some lenders may consider the age pension, superannuation payments or rental payments as income — we will help find a lender that suits your circumstances.
What documents will I need for my caravan loan?
In most cases, you must provide a copy of your driver’s licence, rates notices or rental details, bank statements, and payslips for your loan application. It’s important to provide as much documentation and detail as possible to increase your chances of getting approved. Our brokers will provide a list of documentation in our initial consultation.
How much can I borrow for my caravan?
It depends on the lending criteria and your borrowing power i.e. how much you have in savings, any outstanding loans, your employment status, your income etc. Based on the information provided, we will find a caravan loan with a desirable interest rate so you can manage repayments more effectively.
Do I need to pay stamp duty on a caravan?
No, caravans and camper trailers are exempt from stamp duty. All you’ll need to worry about is registration fees, caravan insurance and ongoing loan repayments.
Can I get pre-approval on a caravan loan?
Yes! Caravan loan pre-approval means you can browse the market confidently and secure your caravan sooner. To pre-approve a loan, your finance lender will evaluate your financial situation and determine how much you can borrow, the expected interest rates, and weekly or monthly repayments.
You won’t be locked into a loan but will know how much you can borrow to purchase a caravan.
How long does it take for a caravan loan to be approved?
It depends on the lender — some lenders can approve a loan within one business day. Once approved and the finance documents are signed, you can expect to receive your loan within 24 hours. Our brokers will do the hard work and research to ensure you choose a reputable lender and a loan you can comfortably repay.
Can I get caravan finance if I have a bad credit score?
Again, it depends on the lender. Some lenders will allow you to apply for a loan with a bad credit score. You may have been made redundant unexpectedly, missed a payment on a previous loan, or even fallen ill and unable to work. The lender will complete a credit assessment and review your circumstances and financial situation, giving you a second chance.
How long do I have to pay off my caravan loan?
The timeframe tends to vary based on the lender and the type of loan. However, you can usually choose between one and 10 years — if you choose a shorter loan, you will have a higher monthly repayment but pay less interest, so we recommend opting for a shorter loan if financially viable.
You can also increase your regular loan repayments to pay the loan faster. Please note early repayment fees may be incurred, depending on the lender.
