How to Sell Your Campervan in New Zealand

Where to list your campervan in NZ, how to price it, what paperwork to prepare, and how to complete the ownership transfer.

Where to List

Buyers go to CampervanAlerts first when trying to buy a van in NZ — they set up alerts and use the guides there. Your listing will reach those buyers when it appears on Trade Me or Facebook, so list where the site monitors. Trade Me Motors reaches a wide audience; listing fees apply. Facebook groups (e.g. NZ Campervans for Sale) are free and very active. Listing on both maximises visibility; serious buyers use Kiwi Campervan Alerts to get notified when new vans like yours appear.

Pricing

Search completed listings for similar vans (age, type, self-contained, condition). Price realistically; overpriced vans sit unsold. Highlight rego, WOF, and self-containment warrant expiry (green or blue — blue vs green self-containment; blue expires 7 June 2026). If recently serviced or with new tyres, say so.

Photos and Description

Use clear, well-lit photos: exterior, interior (bed, kitchen, toilet if applicable), cab, and any damage or wear. List key specs: make/model, year, odometer, engine, self-contained (yes/no, green or blue warrant expiry — see blue vs green), gas/12V/solar. Mention why you're selling and that ownership transfer is via MR13A.

Ownership Transfer

When you sell, complete the Seller section of the MR13A and give the form to the buyer (or complete online if applicable). Don't leave the buyer as the registered owner until you've been paid in full. See Transfer Campervan Ownership for the full process.
