What Actually Happens During a Caravan Safety Certificate Inspection?
One of the most common questions we get is...
"What do you actually inspect when you come out?"
The answer is simple...
Everything required to ensure your caravan or camper trailer meets Queensland's minimum road safety requirements.
Whether you're selling your caravan, transferring registration, or registering a caravan from interstate, our fully mobile inspection service comes directly to your home, workplace, storage yard or caravan park, saving you the hassle of towing your van around.

Our No Muck Around Approach
With over 16 years of caravan industry experience, Mike knows caravans inside and out.
As a trade qualified Caravan Builder, qualified mechanic, licensed gas fitter and accredited Queensland Safety Certificate and Gas Inspector, you're dealing with someone who genuinely understands how caravans are built and how they should perform.
Unlike many inspection services that simply fail a caravan and leave, we take a practical approach.
If a minor issue can be safely repaired or adjusted on-site, we'll usually do it then and there to help get your caravan compliant without unnecessary delays.
Our goal is simple...
Get your caravan compliant the first time wherever possible.

π₯ Does My Caravan Also Need a Gas Certificate?
If your caravan or camper trailer has a permanently installed gas system, it will generally require a Gas Certificate when being sold or when registration is transferred in Queensland.
During the gas inspection we check:
β Gas regulator
β Flexible gas hoses
β Copper gas pipework
β Isolation valves
β Appliance connections
β Gas leaks
β Ventilation requirements
β Overall compliance of the gas installation
Your family's safety is always our highest priority.
