This is probably a dumb question on my part but, My caravan hasn't been used for 15 months and requires re-registering, it is currently registered but is due shortly and this year is the 1st year that it requires an inspection.
Do I have to take it to a Service Centre or just a qualified mechanic...it is 22.5' in length and weighs 2.75 tonne. it is currently for sale and unfortunately I won't be using it again because of my wife's ill health.
I don't live at the property anymore where the caravan is housed but my children do. I have moved away and return for around 4 or 5 weeks per year only.

Sorry to hear about your wife's ill health. I recall when I bought my first van it had Victorian registration and I was given a certificate from the dealer to bring it into NSw where I took it to a registered inspection centre and obtained a pink slip and then had it registered in NSW.
With my current van, when it was five years old, I took it to a registered inspection centre, obtained the pink slip and did the same. The inspection stations are all on the net. Just type in inspection centres on google and you will get them all in your area. Depending on the weight of the van, some centres are only registered to do certain types and then it is a heavy vehicle inspection centre you need. My van only weighs about 2.2 tonnes so I get the ordinary inspection which costs about $30 from memory. Then just toddle off to the service place or you can do the registration process onlline as the inspection centre electronically sends a copy straight away to the RTA.
If you are planning to take the van to Qld to sell then unless it is out of registration you go there and they will give you their procedure. I think you have to have an inspection done before you can sell in Qld but dont quote me on that one.
The inspection is mainly a bit of tyre kicking and checking of lights from my recollection.
Hope things go smoothly for you and your wife.

Wizard, You will require to obtain a inspection slip www.service.nsw.gov.au at any authorised inspection station/service centre. You will need to provide your ID, Current rego papers and of course the vehicle must be totally roadworthy (Including tyres in date).

Hi Wizardofoz, if your caravan is already registered in NSW I believe that the NSW RTA have extended the trial and also the areas where they will carry out mobile pink slip inspections (including caravans). Go onto the RTA website and have a look at mobile inspections apparently it costs you more because they charge a call out fee as well as the normal pink slip fee.
Click on the "Registrations" box then you will see the mobile pink slip trial option come up.

Vehicle design rule applicable www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2007L02383. Generally tyres must be in good condition under ten years old, and rated to suit the vehicle they are fitted to.
I apologise that I misread the original post as currently un registered - that is why I said Blue slip required (I have amended my post).

sell it to a Victorian. no pointless roadworthy requirements down here, and no rip off rego fees..
Just a change of ownership document (download from VicRoads) a weighbridge ticket (if never been rego in Vic before) and $50. Done
