Transferring Ownership of a Current Registration or New Registration to Queensland

When obtaining a Caravan Roadworty Certificate (known as a RWC or Roadworthy Certificate) for your Caravan there are FOUR things to remember

- If the Trailer / Caravan is over 750kg (ATM) you are required to supply a Caravan Safety Certificate for the transfer of registration.

- If the Caravan / Trailer has a PERMANENTLY plumbed gas supply, you are required to supply a Gas Certificate for the sale of the

Trailer, for More information Please visit the Caravan Gas Certificate page.

- If the Trailer was manufactured prior to 1988 and does not have any paperwork to determine the TARE weight, you are required to

Supply a Tare Weight Certificate, this can be obtained from your local Public Weigh Bridge.

- If the Trailer or Caravan is NOT currently Registered or Is registered In another state other than Queensland, you are required to

supply a Caravan HVRAS Inspection Report for more info please visit the Queensland Department of Transport web site

For your Caravan to pass the Gas Inspection it MUST have a

Test Point installed on the system.

you money and time.

We also carry a range of caravan mechanical and 12 volt electrical parts, so we can fix most common faults while we are conducting your mobile caravan roadworthy certificate.

Imported Caravans - Not as easy as it looks

When purchasing an imported caravan from the USA or England there are many points to consider, you MUST have the Gas System converted and each appliance must be tested and issued with an individual certification number.


Even purchasing an Imported Caravan already registered here in Queensland there is no garantee that it will pass the inspections again, as every imported caravan that we have seen has something wrong with it and does not comply to the Australian Design Rules.


To convert an imported caravan to suit our ADR's is may cost up to $10,000

Stick to Australian Made and you shouldn't have a problem.


In some cases we have seen come copied AGA Certification stickers, that was not the only thing that was wrong with this Caravan.


If you find a (Fake) Certification Sticker or a (Fake) Gas Certificate, your caravan is not safe and can not be signed off for approval.

Information for all Buyers

Please Note that a Safety Certificate and or Gas Certificate can be issued on any caravan or trailer because it has met a MINIMUM safety standard. A Safety Certificate does not check for water leaks, 240v electrical items or powered appliances and we do suggest you inspect the Caravan / Trailer yourself.

Roadworthy Certificate is valid for 2 months and can only be used once.

Gas Certificate is Valid for 3 months and can be used multiple times.

Once these Certificates have been used or are expired they are no longer of any use and can be thrown away.

When taking ownership;

The Buyer must

- Have a completed vehicle registration transfer document and the original copies of the Safety Certificate and Gas Certificate (Carbon copies or photo copies will not do)

- Transfer the registration within 14days of sale

The seller must;

- Keep the sellers copy of the transfer notice and file it away

General Notes

- Caravans over 2000kg (GTM) / (ATM) - the Brake Safe System needs to be checked and charged before every trip.

- Check all Tail, Stop, Indicator and Clearance Lights, including the Number Plate Lamp before leaving for each trip.

- Turn gas bottles off when travelling, and make sure they are secured property so they can’t move around.

- Check that the safety chains are not close to or dragging on the ground as they can wear out from this.
