There is a for sale section on this web site. You can use newspapers, trading post, notices on the notice boards, even go around the caravan sales yards, as they sometimes have trade in like this.

Hi Russ
Welcome to the forum.
That price range 10K ( a bit under or over ) is the price range that a lot of the backpackers are buying and selling for.
You will have to be careful and only buy from a known or recommended seller or you could end with with a heap of rubbish that has been flogged around Australia a few times.
There are some good vans out there.
Gumtree is good at that price range.

We sold our camper-trailer some years ago on a site for off-road campers. It wasn't Exploreoz, although you could check that out.
Edit: Ooops sorry, should have read the op more carefully! Big difference between campervan and camper-trailer.

Russ,
Suggest you look at a number of different types of vehicles and layouts B4 purchase and also work out how long you will be on your trip with the vehicle, as you may find say a Toyota Hiace is to small for all your gear for a long trip.
Recently came across a fellow RV'er in a HiAce that had decided after 3 months that it was to small and was considering a Sprinter, Fiat or Transit Long wheel base vehicle.
To me the lower cost vehicles can have mechanical issues, not a bother for one who has mechanical skills and times to fix on the road, but is another consideration.
