Buying a Caravan in Victoria: What You Need to Know
Buying a caravan, camper, or motorhome in Victoria isn’t just about finding the right style or price. You’ll want to make sure it’s safe, compliant, and ready for registration. Victoria has specific requirements to ensure every caravan transfer is handled correctly.
Roadworthy Certificates
In Victoria, all registered caravans must have a Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) before they can be sold or have their registration transferred. This certificate confirms that the caravan meets the minimum safety standards set by VicRoads.
The inspection must be carried out by a licensed vehicle tester, and the certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. If the caravan is unregistered, you’ll need an RWC to re-register it before use.
Always ask the seller to provide a current Certificate of Roadworthiness. It’s your assurance that the caravan is safe and legal to tow.
Gas and Electrical Certificates
Suppose your caravan includes a gas system (such as a cooktop, oven, or hot water service). In that case, the seller must supply a Gas Safety Compliance Certificate issued by a licensed gasfitter accredited by Energy Safe Victoria.
Electrical systems, including power outlets, lights, or solar installations, must also comply with AS/NZS 3001 (Electrical Installations, Transportable Structures). It’s strongly recommended that a licensed electrician checks and certifies these systems before sale.
Registration Transfer
When buying a registered caravan, the transfer must be completed through VicRoads within 14 days of purchase. The buyer pays the transfer fee and any applicable stamp duty.
You can transfer ownership easily online using the VicRoads website or by visiting a VicRoads Customer Service Centre. Both the buyer and seller must complete their respective sections of the transfer paperwork.
If you’re purchasing an unregistered caravan, you’ll need to arrange a Vehicle Identity Validation (VIV) inspection and provide proof of ownership before registration.
Inspection Checklist
Before finalising payment, inspect the caravan thoroughly:
- VIN and compliance plate are clearly visible and match registration details
- Chassis, suspension, and coupling are in good condition
- Tyres, brakes, and bearings are well-maintained
- Gas and electrical systems are functional and certified
- All internal fittings (doors, windows, appliances) operate properly
- Service and maintenance records are available
Ask for documentation and receipts for any recent repairs or upgrades. These provide valuable proof of the van’s condition and compliance.
Why It Matters
Following these steps ensures your caravan purchase in Victoria is legal, safe, and stress-free. A roadworthy and compliant caravan gives you peace of mind, knowing you’re fully covered under Victorian road laws and ready for your next adventure.
Caravan Sales recommends confirming all certificates and documentation before completing your purchase so you can hit the road with confidence.

What’s the safest way to pay for a caravan?
The safest way to pay for a caravan is to meet with the seller in person so you can inspect the caravan before paying. Avoid sending money before you’ve seen the caravan. If in doubt, use secure payment methods and trust your instincts.
What if I have a problem with a seller?
You deal directly with the seller, any disputes need to be resolved between you and them. However, we take fraudulent activity seriously, so if you believe a listing is suspicious, please report it to us immediately. If the seller is not responding to any of your calls or messages, the caravan may no longer be available. Report it to us so we can take necessary action.
