My Question is:
Has any NSW person bought a brand new Caravan (18ft or larger) from Victoria - and only received a third of the break-a-way system ?

I found out during the NSW RTA blue Slip Inspection for Registration, that 2/3rds of the system was missing, meaning the separate break-a-way battery for the electric brakes and it's monitor which apparently goes near the dashboard in the car.. ?? was missing.

All I received was the pull apart bit on the A frame and the hook & line that attaches to the car above the tow ball.

I was told the battery from my car operated the electric brakes and if the van ever came adrift the pin would be pulled from the A frame and the brakes would lock on. - plus I have a phirana battery monitor in my car. but apparently this is not enough.

I would be very interested to see how others have coped with this NSW vs VIC registration differences for a new van.

How we get there is less important than who we get there with. the adventures collected and the dreams realized.
