    Default NSW Registering Home Made Trailer

    Hey Guys

    Does anyone know if your still able to register a home made trailer as owner builder home made or do u now need a builders plate for NSW?

    I am hopping it just gets listed as home made and the blue slip mechanic stamps the VIN

    Cheers

    If you build a trailer at home would you not be the manufacturer ??

    Droog is correct. If you make a trailer in your backyard, according to the National guidelines for building such trailer, you are considered the manufacturer.
    Now, the dictatorship that is each states registering authority may want you jump through extra hoops to actually register the trailer (such as breakaway battery monitoring in your tow vehicle for Electric Braked trailers over 2000Kg), but as far as the Federal Government is concerned, a "Home Made" trailer is still a registerable trailer.
    What Section 10 on the VSB1 states is that as the manufacturer of that trailer, you are bound by all the requirements for the safety and structural integrity of that trailer, including any recall should you sell the trailer to someone and it's found to be defective.
