Hi all,
Anyone know what the rules are with DIY rock and roll beds ? I was originally going to buy the just kampers bed frame which is ADR approved but they no longer sell them as the manufacture went bust during COVID.
I’m in VIC and I was reading on VidRoads website that states,
“Replacing seatsHide
A VASS Approval Certificate [b]is not required[/b]for a replacement seat provided:
Now, I can order the hinges and make my own plywood seat to the same specs as the Westfalia beds which would meet the “offered by the manufacture as an option” and “use the original mountings” but it would not be a genuine seat so it’s not engineered.
Do you think this is within the scope of legal? I don’t want to run into insurance or TAC issues.
