Hi Dodg,
I don't think it has to be just
Newcastle.......it could be anywhere..... I've heard that Qld Transport are active also active at the moment.
Surely you have been driving and seen RMS or other state equivalents on the side of the road doing inspections usually on heavy rigs...... but I spose if things are slow old farts like us are fair game.
Something I think about a lot..... as I tow a 'heavy' Kedron with a 200 series

We know some folks living on the road, kedron and Patrol ute. They decided to do a weigh in themselves = over 8.5 T
They now keep a container in
Darwin for when they visit each year

Have heard of it happening in Queensland, but as yet have never spoken to anyone who has been weighed.
Have also heard stories of inspectors going into cvp's and looking at vans then saying the tug isn't by law able to tow the van, can't move it till you have the correct vehicle.
Again could all be a furfy as haven't actually spoken to anyone who has been caught.

Dodger.
About 3 weeks ago, Caravans were stopped by the Police and RMS to be checked near Marulan just south of
Sydney. Apparently, there were a fair number stopped.
My friend, Rob, who also has a
Kimberley Karavan towed by an Amarok was waved through.
Cheers
