Hi guys,

Has anyone had experience with using a registration exempt trailer with a slide on camper on it?

I currently have a trailer that classifies for rego exemption and I have a slide on/bolt on camper which can be fitted to the top.

I have had a look on Vic roads website and the only restrictions are as follows:


trailers (other than trailers specifically built to carry a boat) that are not used in the course of trade and:

weigh less than 200 kilograms empty

are not wider than the vehicle towing it

are not more than 3 metres long including the drawbar and any load on the trailer


My trailer unladen does not weigh 200kgs, but when I attach the camper to it, it would exceed this amount. Because the camper is mounted on would this technically become part of the unladen weight? Or could it be classified as a load on the trailer.

Any thoughts and experience on this would be greatly appreciated, cheers guys.
