What Is a Caravan Loan & How It Works

A caravan loan is a vehicle-specific finance option that allows you to own your caravan immediately and repay it over time. You can choose:

Secured Caravan Loans with the caravan as collateral. This typically allows borrowing between $5K and $100K, terms up to 7 years, and interest rates starting around 6–7% p.a.. You're more likely to access better terms this way.
Unsecured Personal Loans: ideal for older or private-sale caravans up to about $50K. These come with flexible repayment terms and no equity requirement though at a slightly higher interest rate.

You'll repay in weekly, fortnightly, or monthly installments. Many lenders offer fixed-rate options, early repayment flexibility, and redraw or balloon features.

Secure vs Unsecured Caravan Finance: Which Suits You Best?

Secured Loans

Lower interest rates

Higher borrowing amounts

Suitable for new or more valuable caravans

Unsecured Loans

Fast approvals, minimal documentation

Ideal for older caravans, private sales, or first-time buyers

Often fixed-rate and repayable over 1–7 years

IKTB helps evaluate your credit status, intended caravan type, and life stage to recommend the product that best aligns with your goals.
