In a nutshell, Yes.
There is a paper trail that exists from purchase to re-rego, so its all above board, the caravan no longer exists as a caravan, and in the eyes of the department of transport I have used parts from the stat write off to make a car trailer so it is a new build to them, I am the builder and it was made in 2022.
It would be just like if I buy a stat write off car, use all the suspension and running gear but make a new body, apart from it having to meet emissions for the year you are licencing it for it would be a new build and have its own VIN
Now if I was to repair the caravan and tried to register it as a new build they would be asking questions to why my new build looks like a 2014 Jayco but has a new build VIN.
