Frequently asked questions about pre-purchase inspections & weighing

What is a caravan weight inspection?

A weight inspection puts the van and tow vehicle over a public weighbridge to measure tare, ATM, GTM, ball weight and combined weight, then compares each to the legal limits. The report identifies overweight axles or non-compliant ball weight before they become a problem with police or insurers.

Do I need a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used caravan?

Yes — a professional pre-purchase inspection (typically $300–$700) checks chassis, body, water ingress, electrical, gas, appliances and tyres. It pays for itself many times over by catching expensive issues like delamination, chassis rust or wet floor before you commit.

How long does a caravan inspection take?

A standard pre-purchase inspection takes 2–4 hours on site. Weighbridge appointments are typically 30–60 minutes. Compliance inspections for state registration are 1–2 hours. Allow a full half-day if combining services.
