Dario Caravans has been selling used and second-hand caravans in Adelaide since 1978. Whether you call them used caravans, 2nd hand caravans, pre-owned vans or consignment stock, every one on our yard at St Marys is checked over by our team before it goes on display, and you are welcome to look it over in person. Stock cycles regularly through our consignment sales, so it pays to call ahead or check this page often.
Why Buy a Used Caravan From Dario
Buying second-hand makes a lot of sense. A well-maintained pre-owned caravan can save you tens of thousands compared to new, comes already kitted out with accessories the previous owner added, and depreciates more slowly from your purchase price. The catch is making sure you don't inherit someone else's problems - which is where buying through an established Adelaide dealer like Dario pays for itself.
Checked Before Display
Every used caravan on our yard is checked over by our team before it's listed for sale, and you can look it over in person before you decide.
Consignment Sales
Selling your current van on consignment is a straightforward way to fund your upgrade. We'll appraise it on the spot, list it and handle the sale for you.
Finance Available
Caravan finance available on pre-owned stock through our partners. Apply online or in person. We can also arrange insurance and extended warranty options.
Workshop For Life
We service every caravan we sell. Our St Marys workshop handles repairs, modifications and insurance work for the life of the van you buy from us.
Buying a Used Caravan: What to Check
Our team checks over every van before it goes on the yard. This is the list worth running through on any used caravan, ours or anyone else's.
Chassis & Suspension
Look for cracks and signs of past repair, check the suspension bushes and springs, and make sure the A-frame and drawbar are straight and undamaged.
Brakes & Bearings
Ask when the wheel bearings were last repacked and the brakes checked, and make sure the electric brakes suit the controller in your tow vehicle.
Body & Seals
Check the roof, windows, hatches and doors for water ingress and tired sealant, and press for soft spots or damp in the cabinetry and floor.
Appliances
Run the fridge on all three power modes, light the stove and oven, fire up the hot water, and run the microwave, air-conditioning and any electric awning.
Gas & Electrics
Ask for a current gas certificate, test the 12V and 240V outlets, and check the solar and batteries if fitted.
Roadworthy & Compliance
Test the lights, indicators and brake lights, check tyre condition and date codes, and match the compliance plate to the rego.
Used Caravans Across Adelaide and SA
Most of our used caravan customers come from across metropolitan Adelaide - Marion, Mitcham, Glenelg, Brighton, Aldinga, Morphett Vale, Noarlunga and the Adelaide Hills suburbs around Stirling and Mount Barker. We also regularly sell to caravanners from regional South Australia and the Fleurieu Peninsula. If you can tow the van home, we can sell it to you - and our workshop is here for service and parts whenever you need them.
If you're after something specific that we don't currently have on the yard, let us know. We see a lot of stock come through on consignment, and we can keep an eye out for the make, model and budget you're after.
