[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 136742, member: 4430"] This has been rumoured for some time, but there is an article in todays RACV magazine headed "D-Rumours Debunked". The words of the Caravan Industry Association (CIA) that investigated the rumours of needing to comply with AS2741-2002 are, "Our understanding is that there is currently no regulations requiring shackles used on a trailer to comply with the Standard". Also the shackle Standard only covers their use for lifting. CIA approached the police and state transport departments and they have denied any form of crack-down. It would be good if someone familiar with the details of the road rules, etc could further enlighten us, and if this has happened then these folk may have a case to challenge the fines. Rob [/QUOTE]
