Caravan rego and insurance

I'm picking up my new camper/ van from Qld in April & want to head north for a few months. Advised by rego dept here in Sth Aust I have to bring it back here to be inspected B4 it can be registered!! Solution: talk to your manufacturer/ supplier - bet they can get it reg'd in Qld for you then just do whatever it takes to transfer it to NSW rego at your leisure.

You may just have to have it delivered unregistered to your address by car carrier, it may not be ideal but probably most practical.. $1000???? Michael

Hi Gronk,

I ordered my van from Queensland but I live in WA. All you need is a garaging address in Qld, you do not need to live there. I simply used a mates address and he signed the appropriate forms - it can even be a caravan park if you stay there more than 3 days (apparently, never went down that path so cannot vouch for accuracy of that info).

All rego and license papers in my name and sent to my WA address by QLD rego dept. Once back in WA, took off the QLD license plates and went to local license centre for WA plate and form to get refund of Qld rego. Never went over the WA pits as a) was in my name and b) was less than 12 months old from new. All above board and what is done in these circumstances.

Cheers

Your insurer will have no problems with you bringing the van back with a permit. Just double check the permit requirements in both States, then you will have nothing to worry about.

Hi Gronk,
I don't suppose you bought an Odyssey? :)
Your insurance company should be OK to cover the van, as long as you give them the VIN number, etc.
