Hi Jimbo

Have you tried the Pickles Auction site, they sell caravans etc. They might have what you are looking for.

Also put an add up at the caravan parks, someone may be upgrading.

Look at the Youth Hostels as well, sometimes there is a good turnover in vehicles as travellers buy and sell them after they have done their trip.

Good luck

For those that are interested in my search.....It seems I am onto a good wicked  Toyota Coaster Diesel Everything I have been searching for..But I have to figure on a way to get to Kimbriki NSW  Near Taree....Its about an 1 and a 1/2 hrs drive from Newcastle Airport according to Travelmate.com....I may have to fly there and the people have volunteered to pick me up.....Hate to inconvenience them to much....Don't know  what else to do though.

What do NSW call a road worthy certificate......Anyone know?  There is  so much fooling around with paperwork  I think I'll be going greyer or have a heart turn.....I'v tried getting info from Vic Roads but  they keep me on hold so long...I thought I may ask you experts (Grey Nomads).......Transfer ownership from NSW to Victoria.....What is the procedure...Can anybody help

Sandy 45  I am leaving for Newcastle Friday to take delivery of  a Toyota Coaster   Near Taree...I think my search has ended.....keep you posted

well that sure is nice of the people to offer to pick you up from newcastle, fantastic airport you get to watch the fighter jets taking off its amazing veryloud though, but fantastic site to watch where they do there training, mmm as far as i know the roadworthy is still called a roadworthy ,i lived in nsw for a long long time, as far as i remember it was called a roadworthy?.

good luck hope you find what you are looking for .

Hi Jimbo,

Good luck with the purchase... re the paperwork, roadworthy certificate etc, check with Vicroads ( I think that's what they call themselves in Victoria) as to their requirements as the stamp duty etc, etc, in NSW this will just about bankrupt you (don't start me!).  However I think that here in NSW it's mandatory that the vendor supply a Roadworthy Certificate (known as a "Pink Slip").  Check this out first by contacting the NSW RTA and make sure the vendor fills out all the necessary paperwork.   Also check with "REVS" (Register of Encumbered Vehicles) that the vendor has clear title (if buying privately).  Note that the registration certificate does not establish clear title.

Make sure you have an insurance cover note effective from the moment you take possession of the vehicle... You're most likely aware of these necessities but I mention them anyway.

PM me if you need any local info on Newcastle.

Jim

PS: The Princes Highway is a nice alterative to rushing straight back to BM via the Hume.
