RWC & Gas Certificates
Roadworthy Certificates (RWC)
If your caravan isnt Road Worthy under the Queensland Governments Department of Transport, that means your caravan or motorhome, isn’t drivable on Australian roads.
If you are registering your vehicle from another state, transferring ownership, or re registering an unregistered vehicle, you will need to get your vehicle inspected and obtain a RWC. This includes caravans with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) between 750kg and 3,500kg.
For HVRAS information see the Heavy Vehicle Registration Assessment Scheme at the bottom of this page.

Heavy Vehicle Registration Assessment Scheme
The objective of the scheme is to provide people with accreditation to inspect heavy vehicles and trailers to ensure they comply with:
- dimensional limitations
- approved load sharing axle systems guidelines
- safe tyre limits
- vehicle identifiers (for example: engine number, vehicle identification number and chassis number).
Imported vehicles that have not been previously registered in Australia cannot be inspected and measured by HVRAS accredited persons. These imported vehicles must be sighted by the Department of Transport and Main Roads for verification with the vehicle import documents.
Gas Certificates
In addition to a RWC, some caravans will require a gas certificate. If your caravan has a permanently fixed gas supply, like from a fridge, cooktop or hot water system, you will need to obtain a gas certificate. Caravan Repair Centre is able to conduct any inspections, and supply you with your gas certificates. When you have any gas system installed, you should be supplied with a vehicle inspection certificate, that certifies that the installation complies with all of the relevant legislation and meets all safety requirements. When you have an installation or conversion completed by us, we will supply you with this certificate, as well as the relevant plates to certify the safety of the systems in your vehicle.
