Caravan Loans FAQs

  • A secured caravan loan is a type of loan specifically for purchasing a caravan. It involves the caravan itself being used as collateral for the loan. Under a secured caravan loan, if a borrower cannot meet their loan repayments, the lender can repossess the caravan to recover their money. The amount that an individual can borrow will generally depend on the value of the caravan and the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Secured caravan loans will generally have lower interest rates compared to an unsecured caravan loan because the risk for the lender is reduced by having an asset to fall back on.

  • An unsecured loan is a type of loan used to purchase a caravan. It does not involve any asset being provided as collateral. Under an unsecured caravan loan, if a borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender is unable to repossess the caravan but can pursue other assets and avenues as a way of recovering their funds. Because an unsecured caravan loan does not require collateral, lenders face a higher risk of not being repaid. To compensate for the increased risk, they will generally charge a higher interest rate compared to secured caravan loans.
