If you own a caravan in Queensland, you must meet specific roadworthy and gas compliance laws—especially if you’re selling, transferring ownership, or registering your caravan.
At AllBrand Caravan Services, we make the process easy! We provide fast and hassle-free caravan roadworthy and gas certificates to keep you legal and road-ready.
In this guide, we’ll break down when you need these certificates, what’s involved, and why we’re Brisbane’s go-to experts.
What is a Caravan Roadworthy Certificate (RWC)?
A roadworthy certificate (RWC), also known as a Safety Certificate, confirms that your caravan meets Queensland’s safety standards, ensuring it’s safe to be driven or towed on public roads.
When Do You Need a Roadworthy Certificate?
-
Selling a registered caravan
-
Re-registering a previously unregistered caravan
-
Transferring ownership of a caravan to another person
What’s Checked During a Roadworthy Inspection?
During an RWC inspection, we check critical safety components, including:
-
Brakes & braking system
-
Tyres & wheels (tread depth, condition)
-
Lights & indicators (working correctly)
-
Coupling, safety chains & towing setup
-
Body & structural condition
If your caravan passes, we issue your RWC on the spot. If repairs are needed, we’ll guide you on what’s required to get your caravan certified quickly, and we can help you with this too.
What is a Caravan Gas Compliance Certificate?
If your caravan has a gas system (e.g., stove, fridge, water heater), you may also need a gas compliance certificate. This ensures your LPG system is safe and leak-free, meeting AS/NZS 5601.2 safety standards.
When Do You Need a Gas Certificate?
-
Selling a caravan with a built-in gas system
-
Registering a caravan that has LPG appliances installed
What’s Checked During a Gas Inspection?
-
Gas line connections and condition
-
Appliance safety (stove, fridge, hot water system)
-
Ventilation & gas leaks
-
Regulator & compliance plate inspection
If your caravan passes, we issue your gas certificate immediately. If any fixes are needed, we’ll handle the repairs in-house to get you compliant.
Queensland Caravan Laws: Why These Certificates Are Essential
Failing to meet Queensland’s legal requirements for roadworthy and gas compliance can result in:
-
