transferring a caravan in victoria

Transferring a caravan in Victoria? It’s less scary than reversing into a tight campsite: lodge the transfer via your myVicRoads account or with a signed transfer form, and do it within 14 days of sale. For caravans and trailers up to 4.5 t ATM, a roadworthy certificate isn’t required—just make sure the VIN/chassis number matches and the lights, brakes and tyres aren’t auditioning for a fail sheet. Have proof of identity, a receipt showing the sale price, and be ready to pay the transfer fee and, in most cases, motor vehicle duty. If it’s coming from interstate or never had Victorian rego, VicRoads may require an identity/verification inspection, and sometimes a weighbridge ticket, before they’ll play ball. Heavy trailers over 4.5 t have extra hoops, so check those rules if you’re towing a small apartment. Job done—now you only have to argue about the best caravan park on the coast.
