Selling your caravan privately sounds great, until the tyre kickers show up, the messages pile up, and weeks pass without a solid offer. If you’ve been thinking, There has to be an easier way, you’re right. Caravan consignment is the hands-free, stress-free alternative that more caravan owners on the Gold Coast and in Morisset are choosing every day.
Let’s break down exactly how caravan consignment works, why it’s smarter than you think, and what happens from the moment you hand over the keys to the day the cash hits your account.
Why Caravan Consignment Is the Smart Seller’s Shortcut
Private selling is hard work. Caravan consignment makes it easy, fast and handled by professionals. Consigning your caravan means placing it in the care of an experienced dealership, like Hinterland Caravans, who takes on the responsibility of marketing, presenting, negotiating, and selling your caravan on your behalf. You stay in control of the price and final say, but everything else?
We take care of it. Unlike listing on online classifieds or social media groups, consignment connects your van with ready-to-buy customers walking through our busy dealerships at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and Gateway Boulevard in Morisset. It also eliminates:
- The frustration of no-shows and time wasters
- The risk of scams or under-offers
- The hassle of marketing, phone calls, and follow-ups
If you’re near Burleigh, have a used van sitting in the driveway, and are keen to turn it into cash before summer hits, this is your signal to explore a better way to sell.
The Caravan Consignment Process, Step-by-Step
Step 1: Book a Free Consignment Evaluation
First, contact our team to schedule a free caravan consignment appraisal. We’ll inspect your van, discuss condition, features, and realistic market value. No obligation. No pressure.
Step 2: Set Your Price and Terms
Once we assess your van, we’ll recommend a price based on live market data and comparable listings. You approve the asking price and agree to the consignment terms, simple, transparent and fair.
Step 3: We Handle All Advertising & Marketing
Your van gets photographed, advertised across major platforms, featured on our showroom floor, and marketed to our existing buyer database. That’s thousands of eyes on your van, without you lifting a finger.
Step 4: We Manage Buyer Enquiries & Inspections
Our sales team handles all customer interactions. Every call, every question, every viewing, we do it all. You won’t be disturbed by late-night messages or lowball offers.
Step 5: Negotiation & Final Offer Approval
When a buyer is serious, we negotiate on your behalf. You’ll be contacted to approve the final offer. You’re always in control and under no obligation to accept anything you’re not happy with.
Step 6: Sale Finalisation & Payment
Once the buyer commits and payment is secured, we finalise paperwork and transfer the funds to you. No stress. No delays. Just a seamless transaction.

Vans that are clean, serviced and well-maintained sell faster and for more.
Fees apply:
Hinterland charges a transparent consignment fee only after the sale. No sale = no fee.
