Suggested starting point
Vehicle + Caravan Assessment · A$99
For a tow vehicle and loaded trailer combination, including a caravan. The product name says caravan; its scope also covers other trailer combinations with the required ratings and measurements.
One-off automated digital assessment, not a personal consultation. Review the required inputs before paying. Missing figures remain unknown; payment does not verify them.
Start with the whole picture
Build the picture around your actual touring load.
Passengers, water, luggage, accessories and towball load belong together. Existing TowSense resources help organise measurements before you choose a vehicle, caravan or assessment.
Before fitting accessories
Include fitted equipment and its location when preparing vehicle and axle figures.
Before travelling
Keep measured figures tied to the loaded configuration you plan to use.
What to gather first
- Exact tow vehicle and caravan variants
- Vehicle and caravan documented ratings
- Passengers, luggage, fuel and water
- Installed accessories and their positions
- Loaded vehicle, trailer, coupling and axle figures
Prepare matching touring measurements
Use the load you intend to travel with, including passengers, luggage, water, fuel and fitted accessories.
Reference diagram, not to scale. Follow the selected tool and weighing-service instructions.
- A · Vehicle
- Record the vehicle axle readings and whether the trailer was connected.
- B · Coupling
- Keep an actual coupling measurement separate from documented coupling limits.
- C · Trailer
- Distinguish the trailer axle-group reading from the whole loaded trailer mass.
Gather the exact ratings
Keep the vehicle and caravan's documented limits with the correct variants. Ratings are not measurements of your loaded setup.
Record the weighing configuration
State whether the trailer was connected. Keep all readings tied to the same load and, where used, the same hitch setting.
Count each load once
Fully loaded axle readings already include items present when weighed. Do not add those accessories or towball load again to coupled readings.
Before you continue
Do I need to choose a new tool?
No. This page connects the existing caravan resources and assessment options without replacing them.
Do calculated margins guarantee safe operation?
No. Ratings, source information, vehicle condition and measurements need appropriate confirmation. The report is advisory rather than certification.
Take the next step for your touring plans.
Choose the preparation checklist or review the available assessment when your information is ready.
