Whether you’re setting off for a weekend getaway or tackling the big lap around Australia, knowing your caravan or motorhome’s true weight is one of the most important safety checks you can do. Many caravan owners are surprised to learn how easy it is to exceed legal towing weight limits once water, fuel, gear, and personal items are loaded.
An overweight or unevenly loaded caravan can lead to serious issues such as:
-
Increased braking distance and poor handling
-
Tyre blowouts or suspension damage
-
Excessive wear on bearings and axles
-
Voided insurance claims in the event of an accident
-
Heavy fines for exceeding towing or vehicle capacity limits
By regularly weighing your caravan or RV, you’ll not only travel safely but also extend your vehicle’s lifespan and improve fuel efficiency.
