But where do you start? With so many options, price points, and layouts, finding the right van for your lifestyle takes research. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best places to buy a used campervan—including our own pre-loved vans.

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace is one of the easiest ways to find used campervans for sale in your area. Many private sellers list their vans here, so you can often find unique builds at competitive prices. However, because it’s a peer-to-peer marketplace, buyers need to do their due diligence.

Why shop here?
