Autotrader for Caravans

Caravans do not always have a vehicle registration. Because of this, the listing process differs from cars. Ensuring you follow the correct steps guarantees that your advert is accepted by Autotrader and displays correctly to potential buyers.

The video below details everything covered in this guide.

Creating the Caravan Record

1. New Caravans

   • Create manually, or

   • Select from the price list.

2. Used Caravans

   • Must be created manually.

This is done by going to Vehicles > Vehicle Administrator Toolkit and selecting New or Used. The below guides explain how to do this.
