Is that the annual fee Trevor? I just paid mine it was $37.50 for 12 months.

The Road worthy and Stamp Duty are one offs, the annual fee is $112.
I am thinking of registering in Vic to save all these costs.

Yep we are getting ripped off.
Stamp Duty is the killer. 3% of purchase price.
$30,000 camper = $900

New South Wales has similar stamp duty - when we registered ours for the first time (Oct 09) there was a government incentive though where camper trailers, caravans etc were exempt from stamp duty - not sure if this is still available but I was pretty pleased to finally be on the receiving end of one of the stimulus bonuses.

Just bought my old Jayco (wouldnt havemattereed of i got a new second hand one)

reg i think is around $37 tranfer fee tare 750kg and under $5

got it good in Vic

[NewcastleKnight]

Fairly certain there is no stamp duty on camper trailers and caravans any more they gave it the boot as far as I remember.  Rego costs, ongoing for the Jayco Swan are around $280.00 in NSW.

I just got my rego renewal for my Aussie Swag here in SA - $65.

Just got the Pajero one too $816.

I'm hearing you Trevor, I have just bought a Jayco Camper trailer from Melbourne and have to pay about $900 for all of the above.
Quoted price in Victoria for our van was $55, they don't pay stamp duty there apparently.

Finding someone to do the roadworthy in the Launceston area is interesting also, let me know if you want the company that is doing mine.

NSW

Because mine is a box trailer (tent seperate entity on top) as apposed to a dedicated CT =$56 

[Sixtys Guy]

Yeh, I got bent over the counter at Service Tas to the tune of the same amount just before Christmas. And yeh, how hard is it finding someone to do the roadworthy. Beecheys in Holbrook street did mine, after I got the certificate from the weigh bridge from the Quarry on Remount Road. They are really thorough doing the road worthy. The only thing that mine didn't have was the VIN # stamped on the chassis, which Beecheys did for me.

Thanks for the info guys. Does look like Tassie is the dearest.
Vic. looks to be the cheapest.
Have been doing my research and if you can provide an address in Vic. and a letter from the owner stating that you are going to store it there, they are happy for you to register in Vic.
Cost difference, Tassie $1100+, Vic $45.
Think I might have a talk to my brother about "storing" it at his place in Melbourne.

I think NSW is probably the dearest for ongoing rego especially if your camper/van is fitted with brakes.  Not only do you get slugged with the higher rego approx $250 pa but you also have to have a roadworthy inspection done each year....another $30 or thereabouts.
