Question on Selling Camper in Qld
« on: April 19, 2016, 11:19:33 AM »
When you sell a camper trailer in Qld, what do you require? Do you just need the Rego papers and complete the transfer or is there other requirements?

Thanks.

Yes, unless it is over 750kg. Then you'll require a RWC. If it has a permanent gas system, then a gas certificate also.

If there is 240v built in, you may need to have a certificate for that as well.

If I was selling one with it, I would get one just to show that there is no issue with it.

Thanks for the replies.

I have done a little more investigation after reading the replies and found the certificates are only valid for 3mths.  So if it takes a little longer to sell I could be purchasing and wasting certificates.

A friend suggested to sell it subject to the certificates.  If someone is interested, get a deposit and then obtain the certificates.

No certificated with ours until we decided to purchase it.
Then the owner got all the relevant stuff done that it needed.
He had all the certificates when he first put it up for sale but after not selling for 4 months they expired and he decided to wait until he had a firm sale to have them done again.
We didn't have a problem with it because he wanted no money until it was all done.

Not being fun police but it is against the law to advertise a light vehicle of which a trailer over 750kg is without a valid safety certificate.

Mind you if there was something amiss, surely the old owner would have to fix it before the safety slip was issued.

hi
if its similar to a vehicle a camper cannot be sold without the all important signatures / certificates gas and mechanical
Unless u sell it as is where is and both parties sign paperwork stating as such and of course the camper will not be registered.

As others have said there are purchases made without a current certificate and subject to but you may be pushing it uphill to get a deposit out of them prior to. If I was the purchaser I would not hand over any money until the RWC was done.

Hi Wayne,

I have in the past had a pre-roadworthy check done. Yes you pay for it but by doing this you are aware of any problems , that can, if needed be repaired.

This way you can have confidence that when a roadworthy is required that the car/trailer will pass. Plus can be advertised as  " In Roadworthy Condition "

cheers duggie

i would look at getting the required certificates to sell in rwc (if you want to sell in rwc)
you don't want a bill shock, if something you didn't count on needs repair / replacement
 you could be cutting into any money you make on the sale
