Secured caravan finance is when a lender will use your caravan or motorhome as security for the money you borrow. This means if you’re unable to make your agreed repayments, the lender is protected by having security over your asset.

Secured caravan finance has some real advantages over unsecured personal loans. Because your caravan is secure, lenders will generally offer you better terms, such as: 

• Longer repayment terms from 2–7 years 

• Higher borrowing limits 

• Competitive interest rates tailored to you

This is the most common form of caravan and motorhome finance that lenders provide. Apply with Snowy River Finance today to learn more from one of our expertly trained staff.

Unsecured caravan finance is essentially a personal loan that allows you to buy your dream caravan without the lender you have chosen holding security over the asset.

The key benefit of accessing unsecured loan options through Snowy River Finance is not only navigating the endless policies and restrictions on your behalf, but it also ensures that you own your caravan outright from day one.

• No security is held over your Snowy River Caravan, which gives you complete freedom.
  
  

It's also an excellent choice when your chosen caravan, motorhome, or camper trailer doesn't meet the criteria for our selection of lender’s secured loan products, and like all the finance options, you'll have real people available to help you 7 days a week.

The difference between new and used caravan finance options primarily lies in the terms and rates that lenders can offer.

Caravan finance typically provides lower interest rates and longer loan terms because brand-new caravans retain higher value and present lower risk. 

In contrast, used caravan finance may come with a slightly higher interest rate and shorter loan terms, reflecting the depreciation of the asset. 

By using Snowy River Finance for your new or used caravan, we will help navigate the vast lender options available in the market to provide you with finance options that are tailored to fit your budget and financial needs, with our hassle-free approval process ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.

The benefits of getting pre-approved with Snowy River Finance include knowing your budget upfront and making your caravan buying journey as smooth and exciting as your purchase. Pre-approval is when we review the information you provide and determine how much you can borrow.

Throughout this stage, we ensure that your Credit File remains untouched and unmarked, meaning we don’t put your credit score at risk. Ask us how to obtain a full approval without affecting your credit file today by calling us directly on 1300 536 323.

Once you're pre-approved with Snowy River Finance, you'll know exactly what your budget is when you're deciding on that new Snowy River Caravan from any of our locations across Australia. Keep in mind that pre-approval isn't a final guarantee, as the final commitment will depend on further verification and approval processes if you haven’t provided us with these documents upfront. Still, it shows that we're keen to help you get into your dream caravan, which'll speed up the buying process.

When looking to apply for finance, your borrowing amount will depend on a few key things that our team looks at, including your:

• Income

• Credit history

• Existing debts

• HEM (Household Expenditure Measure) calculation

• The caravan's value
  
  

Snowy River Finance will assess your financial situation to determine your repayments, taking into account the caravan's price and your ability to make payments. Our approach is to find financing options that work for your lifestyle and budget.

Our dedicated staff at Snowy River Finance are available to help 7 days a week. No confusion, no running around and faster turnaround on your finance application and approval.

A residual value or balloon payment is a lump sum you pay at the end of your finance term. It's designed to keep your regular payments lower throughout the life of the loan.

At Snowy River Finance, we can offer these options.

A balloon payment can be applied to caravan loans, allowing borrowers to lower their monthly repayments by deferring part of the loan balance to the end of the term.

Whilst a balloon option reduces regular payment amounts, a final amount of the principal will be left at the end of the term, which can be paid off, refinanced, or managed through a trade-in. Contact the team at Snowy River Finance directly on 1300 536 323 to find out more.
