Thinking about selling your caravan but dreading the endless phone calls, tyre-kickers, and lowball offers? That’s where caravan consignment comes in. It’s a smarter, stress-free way to sell your van, and with Hinterland Caravans, the process is transparent, trusted, and designed to get you the best outcome without the hassle.
At its core, caravan consignment is simple: instead of selling your van privately, you hand it over to an established dealership like Hinterland Caravans to sell on your behalf.
Think of it as having a professional real estate agent, but for caravans. Your van is displayed at Hinterland’s high-traffic Gold Coast showroom in Burleigh Heads or at the Morisset dealership in NSW, where thousands of buyers walk through every year. The dealership handles everything: marketing, buyer enquiries, inspections, test tours, and negotiating the sale price.
For sellers, it means one thing: peace of mind. No strangers coming to your home. No wasted weekends with just-lookers. No awkward haggling. Just a clean, professional process where you know your van is being handled properly.
Why More Owners Are Choosing Consignment Over Private Sales
If you’ve ever tried to sell a caravan on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, you’ll know how draining it can be. From time-wasters offering half your asking price to the stress of ensuring your van is safe to hand over, private selling can take months.
By consigning, you tap into Hinterland Caravans’ buyer network, real people actively looking to purchase. Here’s what makes consignment such a popular choice:
Wider Exposure:
Your van gets advertised across Hinterland’s digital platforms, showroom, and dealer network.
Faster Sales:
Buyers are already walking through the dealership to see new and used stock. Your van sits alongside them.
Higher Confidence for Buyers:
A van sold through a dealership has credibility. Buyers know it’s been inspected and presented properly.
No Negotiation Headaches:
Hinterland’s experienced team knows how to handle tough negotiations, so you don’t have to.
For many caravan owners, the small consignment fee is worth every cent when compared to the time, stress, and risks of doing it all themselves. Ready to talk through the numbers? Call Hinterland Caravans today on (07) 5560 2472 (QLD) or (02) 4911 9444 (NSW).

Negotiation & Compliance:
From discussing price to managing paperwork, Hinterland makes sure the sale is smooth and legally correct.
Finance & Insurance Support:

This all adds up to one outcome: your caravan sold without the stress.
Is Caravan Consignment Right For You?
Consignment isn’t for everyone. If you’re in no rush and enjoy negotiating, private selling might work. But if you want a faster, safer, and more professional process, consignment makes sense. It’s especially worthwhile if:
- You don’t have time to deal with endless buyer enquiries.
- You want to avoid strangers coming to your home.
- You’d like access to buyers already walking through a dealership.
- You want to maximise your sale price without constant haggling.
At Hinterland Caravans, the process is straightforward. You bring in your van, agree on a realistic price, and leave the rest to the team. With locations in Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast) and Morisset (NSW), they’ve built trust with locals who want to sell without the stress. Thinking of consigning your caravan?
