Why Weigh your Caravan, Tow Vehicle or Boat?
A recent survey by RAC found that nearly over a third of respondents had done little or no research or training before hitting the road.
Having an unbalanced or overloaded van or trailer is extremely dangerous and can contribute to an accident.
RAC claims Manager Glen Walker said 'Caravan collisions have also increased this year (2021) as Western Australian's continue to explore regional areas and holiday at home.'
'Knowing and abiding by your vehicle’s towing capacity is absolutely critical - exceeding it is both unsafe, and illegal'.
Don't guess your weights, weigh your rig to be safe, sure and legal. Protect yourself, protect your family and protect those around you.
Towing limits specified by the vehicle manufacturer must not be exceeded, otherwise safety will be compromised. Excessive loads may also damage your vehicle.
