How and why to buy a second-hand caravan

Do you have doubts given the increase in interest in these houses on wheels?

The idea of ​​a caravan vacation had always been around the heads of many as a perfect plan, but the almost prohibitive prices that were handled in Spain made it difficult for the idea to finish penetrating our country. But in recent years the phenomenon of adapted caravans or camper vans has taken off strongly, and in this new scenario the market for second-hand caravan models stands out.

Most of the people who are interested in acquiring a second hand caravan They do it on the Internet, where you can find more competitive prices and have a huge market in which to compare options. And a good part of those who decide to get a caravan for the first time for their trips, choose a second-hand model as a way to enter the market.

Home or vehicle?

In some countries, among which Australia stands out, the caravan is the home of those who take this concept as a life option. Here we maintain that vision that caravans are for vacations and in recent months, in which the pandemic changed our concept of vacations, that new passion of getting a caravan as a way of carrying the house to places was confirmed. more rustic and isolated from the cities and the fear of crowds.

The caravan trip is an improvised tourism, more natural, with greater intimacy and above all more free. The number of service stations in which these vehicles are allowed to stay overnight is increasing, just as the authorities make it a little easier by enabling areas in which to park in cities. And of course there is the most popular option of all: to park the caravan on a campsite. The concept of these has also varied a lot, and each time they are areas that are more equipped, comfortable, with good restaurant services, supermarkets, leisure and entertainment options, swimming pools or with connection sockets for vehicles so that nothing is missing to campers.

Those who try life in a caravan often repeat

It is definitely not a home option in our country, but it is not just a vehicle either. It is a very particular way of approaching rest days, which has its peculiarities and therefore not everything is buying a caravan and starting. Previously, it is necessary to be well informed of the vicissitudes that the maintenance and life in it implies, of the possible fines for infractions, for example, for parking in places that are not allowed, etc.

We must also take into account other details such as mandatory insurance, whose need for coverage is different from that of another vehicle in use since the caravans are also a home in which we cook or wash. Here we can choose between a basic insurance or another with coverage for personal effects, fires or weather adversities, among others. There is even the option of insurance for days.

But those who discover this way to enjoy life they claim that it has many more advantages than inconveniences. For this reason the interest is contagious and thanks to this the caravan market is moving to a greater extent, which means that prices can be more affordable, mainly to access a second-hand model. The option is interesting because these vehicles that are sold second-hand do not have much mileage, and one of the advantages is that without having to spend a lot we can make reforms and put them to our liking.
