Hubby went to VicRoads on Wed to get the caravan we just purchased regisitered in Vic , we purchased it from people in NSW. Now the van is a Standard 25' Jayco Heritage. All was going well untill the person advised that the measurments from the middle of the tandem axel was too long to the end of the "A" frame (Front) so it can't be regisitered. Hubby said "you've got to be joking, this is a standard van, it is currently registered in NSW and that others are on the road Australia wide, you must have it wrong."
Wrong they did have and after almost 2hrs for an inspection that at most should have taken 20mins & a few phone calls to the little man sitting in his back office thinking of some more ways to jerk people around or rip them off they said that the measurement shound only be to the front of the actual Van and the Van could be registered. They charged him an inspection fee of $37 GST inc on top of the rego fee . Given the fact that he was late for his afternoon job (casual) by about an hour he is going to try and get the inspection fee back as part of loss of wages.
What chance do you think he'll have of that? (Buckley's)
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
