Hey everyone quick question. In NSW is it legal to have no rear window?

Don't know about NSW but according to an engineer in QLD you only have to be able to see a point in line with the middle of your vehicle and 15 metres behind it, so mirrors may do this if not reversing camera ;)

Yea I was also wondering if the reversing camera would suffice. Thanks Hotrod!

My  ....transit. . . doesn't have rear windows at all and if it did, I wouldn't be able to see because of the load. Windows are an optional extra on commercial vehicles so I'd say yes, legal.

But......don't hold me to that.  ;)

That's what I was thinking, I will have things in the way of it all the time. So I'll have to find out if that means only commercial vehicles can have none. Tough they would still make me keep the rear view mirror I suppose, every time I have hired a moving truck they have had a mirror even though you can't use it for driving. Thank you Heavy Judy

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

What if you have no hair............... In NZ if the car / van / truck is fitted with a rear vision mirror from factory, you have to still have it even if it is of no use.

In which case you could just fit one of those reversing camera LCD screens that are made to look like a rear-view mirror.

if you need a rear window then most of the grey nomads and motorhome owners are in trouble, including me.
