Hi all ,I have been in discussion with the Roads Maritime Services over details of wrong year dates of registration Year numbers I have been told vans built prior 1988 no longer have records of date manufacturing , this is causing a fault on rego papers - as it has been a default year 1988 year to print of rego papers for many years , my thoughts are it is technically not our fault of ownership I believe, it should be sorted out by RMS ,But they are wanting a Blue slip or some idea to correct this problem - what thoughts  |

Hi Glenn69, I assume your post is in reference to the registration for your particular caravan? It's interesting to hear that the NSW RMS uses 1988 as a default date for caravans built prior to that year. In Victoria, VicRoads uses (or used to use) 1900 as the default date for caravans of unknown or undocumented build date - hence there are a lot of early 20th century caravans in Victoria!  I presume RMS uses 1988 because that's the date when VIN numbers were introduced for caravans Australia wide. They became mandatory in 1989. Prior to VIN numbers, the registration authorities would use the serial or chassis numbers for those vans that had them. (Not sure what they did for vans which didn't have a serial number on them somewhere.) You may be able to persuade RMS to correct the build date for your caravan if you can come up with enough documentation for your particular model and year, or if it has a serial number that can be used to identify the year. What sort of caravan do you have? Maybe show us some photos and we may be able to help you come up with some information to present. Don Ricardo |
