Winner is South Australia, good on them for realistic costs.
Within last 12 months we used our van 52 days out of 365 on NSW rego. If I combine both Tug & Van all rego and insurances that would be $2186, so it cost us $42.00 + fuel per night (forget eats & drinks as that would be as if at home).
Would rather be out 365 days a year that would be $5.99 a night
Cheers

Yep. That's what being a grey nomad is about for me. Getting off the merry go round as much as possible. Just little bit longer now. Great post by the way.

That's a hell of a hike. Tenyears or more ago they were aligned with the NSW caravan registration fees

For those who do not have a lot of Internet download capacity If I have interpreted the article correctly a summery could be
This is the Rego for the following states
Note that they had picked a 3,000 Kg, 24 foot Caravan and a LandCruiser 200 which they have called the Combo
ACT - 1,500 Kg Van $372.90 - 2,000 Kg Van $531 - Combo $1,954.90
NSW - Up to 2504 Kg Van $407 - up to 2794 Kg Van $640 - Combo $1368 - plus $64 for all vehicles
NT - 1,500 Kg Van $190.05 - 2,000 Kg Van $218.05 - Combo $1,146.70 - plus 3% stamp duty
Qld - $195.35 for tare less than 4,500 Kg Van - Combo $912.85
TAS - $191.60 for tare less than 4,500 Kg - Third party insurance on Van $62 - Combo $940.63
VIC - Stamp duty $5.40 per $200 on new caravan & $8.40 per $200 second hand when changing to your name - then Rego $56.90 for any caravan - Combo $844.30

Like so many articles in these magazines, you are never sure of what research they have done and on the figures quoted.
When making comparisons on anything you MUST compare apples with apples.
I just did a quick search and found that the fees quoted for SA and ACT are correct, but the SA figures do not include Compulsory Third Party.
The actual cost comparison for a years reg/ins on the combo in SA is $1060.
Makes you wonder what other figures are accurate.

Also for NSW if your both on a pension the combined cost is the price of a green slip, about $400

It was a hard article to follow, and I wondered myself if they had got all the figures correct, and why they did not just tabulate the numbers, for an easy comparison
Quote from the article Tasmania is the only state where you have to pay a third party personal insurance on a caravan It is covered by the tow vehicle in every other state/territory It is not excessive though, just $62 a year for all caravans Unquote
Another quote from the article SA is the state to live in if you want cheap vehicle and van rego fees. SA charges no stamp duty for caravans and only $93 for rego per year. The Cruiser and can combination is a downright bargain at just $450 a year Unquote
Tongue in cheek I can see an opening for an enterprising company to start building a bamboo frame, hessian wall caravan in WA. (Rego $5.12 per 100 Kg of Tare) They could also sell oversize bicycle tyre and tubes, as a sideline
I can visualise some of the talk at happy hour What! You paid $15.36 rego for your caravan. They saw you coming mate. I only paid $10.24
Err... hope that was not political incorrect

Iam probably being a dummy? But I can't see what combo has to do with it my rego The fee was simply 471.00 on the road nothing more nothing more to pay !!! that's it completely for the van,it's a new van so no inspection fee.
cmprehensive insurance is a different thing.
the tug rego has nothing to do with the caravan.
I can't understand what's combo got too do with the van rego ....

Hello Ron-D
The article was making comparisons about the rego for a 3,000 Kg, 24 foot Caravan and a LandCruiser 200, in each state, which they had called the Combo
