If your caravan is missing a compliance plate—or the details are outdated, faded, or incorrect—you may not be able to legally register or sell it in Queensland. That’s where we come in.
At Stewart & Sons Engineering, we provide caravan compliance plate installation and replacement services from our Bundaberg workshop, helping caravan owners across Wide Bay and Queensland meet safety and regulatory standards. Whether you need a brand-new plate after a restoration or a replacement plate to reflect accurate load ratings, we’ll ensure your caravan is fully road-compliant.
With over 75 years of engineering experience and a strong reputation across Bundaberg and beyond, we’re trusted by locals for vehicle modification and compliance support.
What Is a Caravan Compliance Plate?
A caravan compliance plate displays essential information such as:
- Manufacturer’s details
- VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
- Model
- TARE (unloaded weight)
- GTM (Gross Trailer Mass)
- ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass)
- Tyre pressure and size specifications
This data is critical for registration, insurance, resale, and safe towing. Without a clear and correct compliance plate, your caravan may not be legally recognised for use on public roads.

Our Caravan Compliance Services
We help caravan owners across Bundaberg, Miriam Vale, Childers, Agnes Water, Maryborough, and Gin Gin with the following:
New Caravan Compliance Plates
For caravans without a compliance plate, we inspect and verify all required chassis and load data, then issue a new plate that meets Queensland Transport standards.
Replacement Caravan Plates
If your plate is damaged, faded, removed, or incorrect, we can issue a new one reflecting accurate and legal figures after inspecting your chassis and suspension configuration.
Verification of Weight Ratings
We’ll assess your TARE, ATM, and GTM values to ensure your caravan is safe, roadworthy, and compliant with weight regulations—especially after any chassis modifications or upgrades.
Engineering Support for Modifications
If you’ve extended your drawbar, changed the axles, or made other upgrades, we can inspect the vehicle and help issue a compliant plate. We also coordinate with our modification plate services when structural changes require a VASS sign-off.
