Thread: Cub campers

You may find it is now classed as a camper trailer, the law changed a while back and you may need a blue slip and a check every year.

How long has it been out of rego

Also if you do have an accident, the vehicle insurance won't cover the camper section of the trailer.

Hi Baz. Cub is currently registered and rego states no check required. Jim

If the trailer/camper weighs more than 250kg. then it needs a yearly inspection in NSW and costs around $150+ for rego, under 250kg. costs around $50+ and no yearly inspection. Ring the RTA to confirm, if no plates and has been unregistered for a while a blue slip and weighbridge ticket is also required, Regards Frank.

I have the current rego papers. Rego was renewed 0n 23 April this year. Tare weight of 340kg and notofication that inspection not required (NSW). Jim

Send us a copy of your rego papers and I'll take them down to my local RTA office and use them to argue why my 310kg trailer was not eligible for cheap rego ($50+) and no annual inspection and ask them to refund the cost of weighbridge ticket and blue slip, would be much obliged, Regards Frank.

Jim, thanks, PM sent, Regards Frank.

I had a scrap here in ACT because the inspection station wrote 'camper trailer' on the inspection certificate.

Our RTA argued "it is either a trailer or a caravan. If you can sleep in it, it is a caravan"

So, it is registered as a caravan and costs around $160 a year. A trip over the weighbridge came up with 400kg - which was about 100kg more than I expected and what the compliance plate said...
