Hi Rocket,I have a 7.6 metre RV A class and recently checked out the rego for Victoria and Qld.

My rego to renew in Qld is now $867 for 12 months.

To register it in Victoria I would have had to pay $100 approx to put it over an inspection pit then $560 rego $200 less than Qld.

As a pensioner when my other car's rego runs out I will investigate the concession rates avilable which may save some money.

I have been told that it is cheaper in WA but have no figures to compare.

Hope that helps

Rego in NSW for a pensioner is free for one vehicle per person, as a couple you can have tow vehicle reg in his name & caravan in wife name ,or vise versa, that gives you both units free.

Here is a link for WA rego etc for anyone that wants to check it out.

There is no stamp duty in WA for buying caravans, but different for campervans/motorhomes although pensioner concession do apply in some cases.

So NSW might not be to bad after all, if you have a new van and tug, upgrade every 5 years you dont even have to worry about a pink slip.

For van and tug all we pay is around $300 for a green slip.

In SA the caravan is registered as a trailer about $60 a year.
The vehicle is a different matter. I did investigate changing over to SA as my vehicles are still registered in WA despite the act I left in 2007, but I don't think so.
As an itinerant I don't have to change over to the state of "residence" as I'm not a permanent resident.
Victoria is supposed to be cheap to register as well.
Stay in a state for 3 months, change over and away you go.
Time for national standard rego's.

Let's be careful about a national rego scheme . . . we'll end up with the charges being set at the highest level, rather than the good rates which apply in WA. The ACT charges seem to be ridiculous. They're nearly as much as the new Speaker of the House claims for expenses EVERY DAY!
