Does anyone know what the process is for getting a home made car trailer registered in South Australia? And where to find the requirements for a car trailer?
Cheers,
Phiz

Did some googling

This one has some basic info;

You may need to speak to your local vehicle registration joint regarding the specifics of getting it registered (what address to take it to etc).

You will more than likely have to take it through regency to get it cleared as road legal.

I didn't know it was even possible to get a home-built trailer registered. I have a crappy old trailer that used to be my dad's, and he's advised me to keep the rego plate and build one around it...which is probably cheating or something. :P

half the trailers on the road would have the manufacturer listed as "home made"

Dad's trailer is home made as well but RTA (VicRoads) said "Oh its standard trailer size and no need to register it" so yeah it hasnt been registered for 35 yrs now..

There is a bunch of rules for Vic trailers that are small enough they dont need rego.. Its the only state with those rules/.
