Caravan rules & regulations
There are rules and regulations which apply when towing a caravan.
- The caravan must be roadworthy.
- The caravan must be registered.
- Nothing can be towed behind the caravan.
- No one can travel inside the caravan.
- The towbar must not hide the car's number plate once the caravan has been disconnected.
- The caravan cannot be towed by a learner or p1 probationary driver, except under particular conditions.
- The caravan cannot exceed weight limits.
Once you have loaded your caravan, its weight should not exceed:
- the maximum weight recommended by the caravan manufacturer
- the towing limits recommended by the car's manufacturer, or
- the weight rating of the towbar.
Some laws can be different from State to State. If you are travelling interstate with your caravan, check individual State or Territory regulations before you leave.

SupporterThat is the part that I find to be rather Odd because in WA, NSW and VIC it is illegal to do this, It Must be some sort of "Special" permit that has been issued for this particular rig.
It would be interesting to find out exactly how this owner was able to circumvent the ruling that clearly prohibits this type of rig.

And illegal in Qld. Who says it is legal in Victoria? The owner and a provincial newspaper? It would be interesting to ask the opinion of Vicroads and Victoria Police. If it can be legally operated in Victoria contrary to the published regulations then some sort of permit or dispensation must have been granted.

I would like to see that ruling.
Not an extract, the whole ruling.

SupporterIt clearly states on that Vic roads page that nothing can be towed behind a caravan.
In WA and QLD the same rule applies.

SupporterThat is the way I see this.
I personally think it is complete madness to allow this sort of setup on the roads.

So, where is the ruling. The way I see it is you have just posted up unsubstantiated text.
I would like to see the ruling from a court, you know "a ruling" as indicated in a previous post.
It does exist, doesn't it?
Swaggie
Mick, can you show proof the combination is actually legal in VIC....seen paperwork, sign offs etc. or is it just word of mouth, mate of a mate.

SupporterIf you use the link I have provided it will take you to the Vic Roads website where I cut and pasted the text from.
It is in NO way "Unsubstantiated" it is word for word from that Vic Roads page, What part of "Nothing can be towed behind the caravan." can't you understand?
Is the Vic Roads web page Wrong?
