NSW Caravan Registration Inspection changes

For those that a not aware.

For caravans of 2T+, your local service mechanic who has previously inspected and approved your caravan for registration can NO LONGER inspect and approve your caravan registration. your caravan can only be inspected by an approved heavy vehicle inspector.

My local mechanic has approval for vehicles up to 3T and he was not aware of the changes, he has since spoke to the RMS and has confirmed he can no longer approve caravans for registrations, in fact he has already referred owners on to a heavy vehicle inspector.

I take it that this refers to the Tare weight, as the GVM can very from day to day.

This has been in place for quite some time now and is not new.

A caravan/trailer with an ATM of MORE than 2000kg AND is fitted with a breakaway system MUST be inspected by an authorised heavy vehicle inspection station.

This is the case in NSW I have no info for other states.

Does this apply to your annual registration renewal or just for the initial registration?

No inspections for car or van renewals in Qld.

Cupie in NSW it only applies to initial rego and then the 6th year as the first 5 years are exempt inspection for new vans/trailers

 The situation actually is caravans over 2 tonnes GTM must be fitted with be fitted with breakaway brake systems (not ATM.) However you will find some manufacturers producing vans under 2 t GTM are fitting their vans with breakaway controllers. These vans must also be inspected by heavy vehicle inspectors.

PeterD you are correct

my mistake. I was going on what I was told by the inspector at first rego but then I may have misheard what he said.
