This is an interesting subject for discussion as i had a vicroads appointed guy tell me i would be ok useing the rear half section ( cut straight thru the middle of the mid window in the cargo area) of a SWB van and fabricating a 3mm min 50mm x 75mm mild steel chassis rail with cross bracing and A Frame head design with the appropriate load hitch for the intended purpose. I was looking at use for carrying 2 200kg roadbikes set at their furthest rear placment point possible wit minimial weight in the forward section so as to keep the ball weight and axle weight as evenly distributed as possible. all said and done it will come under the same classification as my open 6' x 10 - 3 bike trailer and will be 35cm longer from tow ball to axle.
Well, at least you get the word trailer with yours, I'd never heard of a TURNTABLE. Like some rotating train bridge.
I posted an engineer associated to the licensing of these things and he hasn't replied yet, so when he does then I've some news.
The guy on the phone from the registration said all that, so using a trailer base IS considered but they might not register it unless an engineer has waved some magic hand.
