Expos can be great opportunities to buy a new RV and keen buyers don’t have to wait long as the 2025 caravan shows calendar gets underway in January. There is once again a massive schedule of events across all states and territories throughout the year. The time is right to diarise the dates of events you want to attend, prepare your visit and most importantly, plan your RV finance.
Buying a new RV can require a lot of planning and for some buyers, may entail months of considering the make and model options to suit their caravanning plans. Where that purchase requires financing, spending time to also consider the most affordable loans available and finding out your specific borrowing limit can be a smart move.
To get your planning underway we’ve put together the details of events in the coming months plus provided our expert guidance on how to secure your RV loan to be ready to buy.
2025 Caravan Shows First Half-Year Calendar
The calendar of annual RV and lifestyle expos and events is massive. We’ve focussed on dates over the first few months of the year. Dates are as currently available and those interested are advised to check the event website for confirmations.
The calendar kicks off in Victoria with the Yarra Glen Outdoor Living and Caravan Expo over 17-19 January. This is closely followed by the Newcastle Expo starting on 31 January and running through to 2 February at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre and Showground. Next up is Queensland with the Gold Coast Expo from 7-9 February.
The first major show of the year gets underway from 19-23 February with the Victorian Caravan and Camping Supershow at the Melbourne Showgrounds. Tickets are now sale at the event website.
South Australians can diarise 26 February to 2 March for the Let’s Go Caravan and Camping Lifestyle Show at the Adelaide Showground. While WA caravanning enthusiasts can head to Claremont Showground from 20-23 March for the RAC Perth Caravan and Camping Show.
The biggest show of the year has to be the NSW Caravan, Camping and Holiday Supershow. Gates will open for this year’s event at Rosehill Gardens on 29 April with the action continuing through to 4 May. Described by organisers as a destination, this will be a must-attend for keen buyers and RV owners looking to find out all about the latest accessories for the vehicles.
The calendar continues in June with the Queensland Supershow, 4-8 June and into July with the Illawarra Caravan Camping Lifestyle Expo at Kembla Grange Racecourse on 11-13 July. Just a taste of what to look forward to on the calendar with many more expos scheduled. We’ll be keeping an eye on what’s coming up, so check back on our blog regularly for updates.
Preparing Finance for Buy at 2025 Caravan Shows
At the same time as planning a visit to an upcoming expo, buyers can also plan, and in many cases secure, their RV loan. Having the loan locked in ahead of the date, can allow buyers to place their orders at the event to speed-up the manufacture and delivery process and potentially allow them to take advantage of expo specials. RV buyers intending to buy at 2025 caravan shows can plan and secure pre-approved loans at competitive rates through Jade Caravan Finance ahead of the event.
Pre-approved loans can be applied for and conditionally approved prior to purchase. The approval is valid for a relatively short timeframe, but potential buyers can start the process whenever suits them. Our brokers source the most competitive current interest rates on a Secured Caravan Loan from the most suitable lender and process the application through to the conditional approval stage. This means the loan is approved for a set limit with repayments quoted based on that limit at current rates. Buyers can then set their sights on models within their borrowing limit and have the confidence to order to that limit. If the loan offer is not used, the offer expires without obligation.
If buyers would like an indication of their loan potential a lot further ahead of ordering at an expo, we can assist by confirming their credit limit based on their current financial position. This can enable buyers to consider models within their borrowing power and plan the deposit required if the model they want exceeds their approved loan limit. Speak with us about finding out your borrowing power to simplify your purchase.
Interest rates can change over time and individual financial positions can also change. Any offers or estimates obtained on a conditional basis are subject to change and confirmation when the RV to be financed is selected. The same loan products apply to all types of new RVs – traditional caravans, camper trailers, campervans, hybrids, off-road models and others.
For expo visitors that do not opt to have their financing pre-arranged, our Caravan Finance Calculator can be a handy tool to use at a show. The device allows for loan repayment estimates to be calculated based on the purchase price or loan required. Great for comparing RVs at different prices and getting quick loan estimates on-the-go.
To be ready to buy at 2025 caravan shows contact Jade Caravan Finance to arrange your finance.
