This One Takes The Cake.
(Preview)

Why is it so expensive to rego a van in NSW. My mere 16 Ft van which spends about a max of 30 days on the road cost $255.00 while my boat and trailer which is much heavier than the van and spend more time on the road cost $55.00 Even a 2 tonne box trailer or car transporter cost less than a van
