Caravan loans with Greenside Finance, Perth

What is a caravan loan?

A caravan loan finances a new or used caravan, camper trailer or motorhome, usually as a secured loan with the caravan as security. Greenside Finance are Perth-based finance brokers comparing 40+ lenders for caravan loans, and we lend across Western Australia and Australia-wide.

Who do we help with caravan loans?

  • Families, couples and retirees buying a caravan, camper trailer or motorhome for holidays or touring.
  • Grey nomads planning a lap of Australia who want repayments they can plan around.
  • Buyers from a dealer, a private seller or an expo, on PAYG, self-employed, pension or super income.
  • Buyers with a good credit history who want a low rate, and buyers with past defaults who'll have fewer lenders to choose from.
  • Also buying a tow vehicle? See used car loans or ute finance. Other toys: boat loans and motorbike loans.

Using the caravan mainly for business, such as accommodation for a mobile worker? That can be set up as business finance instead, and we arrange that too: see business funding.

What lenders look at

FactorWhat it means for you
Caravan ageNewer caravans have more lenders and usually better terms. Older vans have fewer lenders, a shorter term and often a higher rate.
Deposit and propertySome lenders want a deposit, especially if you don't own property. Owning a home often opens up more lenders and sharper terms.
Credit historyA good credit history opens the whole panel. Defaults and many recent enquiries narrow it.
Income and employmentLenders assess whether you can afford the repayment alongside your living costs. Retirees may be assessed on super and pension income.
SellerDealer sales are accepted widely. Private sales are accepted by many lenders, subject to a PPSR check.

Documents checklist

  • Driver's licence
  • Recent payslips, pension statements, or BAS and bank statements if self-employed
  • Recent bank statements showing your income
  • A list of your assets and debts
  • The dealer's quote or invoice, or the listing for a private sale: make, model, year, VIN or chassis number and price
  • Proof of address, if the lender asks

How it works with Greenside

  1. Tell us about the caravan. The price, new or used, dealer or private, and a few details about your income. A two-minute quote request or a call.
  2. We compare lenders. A Perth broker checks the 40+ lender panel and explains the term, fees and rate on offer.
  3. We check it suits you. We look at your budget, including insurance and running costs, before recommending anything.
  4. You choose, we apply. You sign electronically and the lender pays the seller. Then you collect the caravan.

Example

Illustrative scenario based on common enquiries, not a specific client. Amounts are examples only. A Perth couple planned a year of touring and found a three-year-old caravan priced around $60,000 from a dealer. They owned their home and had a good credit history, which opened more of the panel. A longer term lowered the repayment, so we showed them the extra interest it would cost, and they chose a term in the middle.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a caravan loan with no deposit?

Sometimes. Some lenders finance the full price for borrowers with a good credit history, especially homeowners. Without property, many ask for a deposit. We check what applies to you.

How old can the caravan be?

It depends on the lender. Newer vans have more lenders. Age limits at the end of the term apply, so older caravans often get a shorter term and a higher rate.

Can I finance a caravan bought privately?

Yes, with many lenders. They fund private sales subject to a PPSR check that shows if there's finance owing. See our private sale guide for how that works.

Can I finance a camper trailer or motorhome?

Often yes. Camper trailers, motorhomes and fifth-wheelers are generally treated as caravans, though rules vary by lender. Tell us what you're buying.

Can I get a caravan loan with bad credit?

Sometimes. Past defaults mean fewer lenders and a higher rate, and a deposit may be needed. We'll tell you plainly what's realistic.

Can retirees get a caravan loan?

Often, yes. Some lenders can consider pension, super and investment income. A lender will check you can afford the loan and the length of the term against your age.

How long does approval take?

Some lenders decide within a day, and others take longer. We can't promise an outcome, but we'll tell you what's needed to avoid delays.

Does the loan cover insurance and accessories?

Accessories bought with the caravan, such as an awning or solar, can often be included if they're on the invoice, up to the lender's limit. You'll need caravan insurance in place at settlement.
