WE are pensioners sold everything to live on the road,now after the first year RTA are telling me we still have to come back to NSW every year to have a RTA/HVIS done before rego day, even if you get an interum slip from another state you have to get back within 28 days or rego cancelled. We have been living in the traiier for a year now and want to be in WA this time next year. I wonder what would happen if we didn't have the funds (or we were working) to get the trailer back to NSW ??.

OK, here's an idea, don't know if it will work for you though.
If you are fulltime on the road and have no permanent
home why not re-license your tug and 5th wheeler in whatever state you are in when the licence comes due each time.
There was a post a few days ago about this very situation but I think they were talking about 4wd's etc. Might be worth a search.

Well on here you will only get opinions so the best thing to do is to ring the RTA and ask to speak to a specialist on registration.
They have a technical enquiries section
Then you will get what hopefully will be the correct answer.
The other thread mentioned gave a whole range of opinions, a lot of them incorrect.
All states except Tasmania allow you to "Visit" without changing your registration to their state.
To "have" to change you must be paying utilities such as a phone bill. rates or insurance on a property in that state.
If you are not you are a visitor.
I questioned Tasmania on what constitutes a "Residency" quoting the above and didn't get an answer.
Also the more info you put in the original post the better answers you will get.
Cheers
