Caravans & trailers are not registered with the DVLA so all they have to be is roadworthy & compliant with uk law regarding size weight & lighting. Electric brakes are legal provided tow vehicle has the correct fittings.

Difficulty with caravan insurance in UK usually relates to the likelihood of the caravan being a target for thieves. Large German built caravans can be difficult to insure for this reason. I cannot see the Oz caravan in question being a theft target but obviously get quotes first.

The cost in Oz is £60k so add a fair bit to that to get it to the UK. If the funds are available & Hutch is happy to spend them then the project as described is his previous post is perfectly doable.

If Hutch does want a more immediately road legal caravan that is unusual & expensive then suggest he looks at Swedish built caravans such as Kabe or Polar. A more reasonable £40k upwards & nearest dealers are only as far as Belguim.


However I am sure that they still need a Certificate of Compliance to be used on our roads which means taking the trailer for a test. In addition, after 2012 a raft of new regulations were introduced regarding trailers and it did affect caravan chassis which required a serial number.

Looking into it further, I am limited to my options since it’s for business and welfare services,
That means a fully custom built unit
Perhaps someone could recommend a thread where this sort of thing is in convo ?
