OK Thats great thanks but what about this then???

If its an auto the van is too heavy to be legal as limit is 2500kg

Only a Manual 3.0 Patrol can tow that weight legally.

As well as a roadworthy you will have to get a gas certificate first and then have the van measured by the RTA

I had my WA regged van done last week so know exactly what you have to do.

Roadworthy $60

Gas Cert $90

Reg $180

Got it all done in Caboolture in 2 1/2 hours RTA were having a slow day luckily

Why would you need a permit if its got rego in Tassie you should be
able to tow it anywhere.

Because the Tasmanian registration isn't transferrable to an interstate resident.

I have never heard of permits being required when travelling interstate or for vans when towed interstate

Why do you need to re register in Qld at all? Are you relocating? Then yes, as you need to with your car as well, and for that you have (I think) a three months grace period

don't you only need temp permits if the vanisnt currently registered, you don'y need them if the van is currently registered in another state.

OK, if you are an interstate resident moving to Victoria then the vehicle, in this case, caravan, must be registered in Victoria immediately you take up permanent residence. I am quite sure that the same applies to other States.

If you are an interstate resident & purchase a vehicle in Victoria, then at the time of settlement the vehicle becomes unregistered & you need to apply for a 28 day permit to drive/tow the vehicle.

There is no period of grace in either instance.

There are quite a number of Tasmanians who purchase their vans from Victoria, Queensland and so on, they bring them back to the island and some will let the rego go through to renewal, others will cancel the Vic/Qld rego on their return and take out Tassie rego.
In our case, a few years ago we purchased a van from Vic and changed the rego to Tassie rego approx a month before it was due, the rego people here asked us if we wanted to get a refund, 1/12 of a think about $38.00 wasn't worth it, so does that contradict "at time of vehicle becomes unregistered".
If what you say is true then there are hundreds of people breaking the law.

In relation to moving to another state, my understanding is that there is a period of grace of three months...

Make a phone call to a registration authority.

I wouldnt be "continuing towing" with my current vehicle. i was just about to buy a big van (but changed my mind today). I have been towing a camper with my current vehicle.
