Thanks to David for using our car and caravan weighing service in Gympie — it was great to work with you!

We recently did a car and caravan weighing in Gympie and made a small but important mistake — we weighed the car without pulling the caravan onto the levelers.

It was a simple distraction, but it highlighted something crucial: you can be on a level surface and still get inaccurate results if the car and caravan aren’t on the same plane.

American pickups promise big towing and bold styling, but their Achilles heel may surprise you. We break down how they really stack up against Australia's homegrown utes — and why bigger doesn't always mean better when you're towing a caravan.

We’ve noticed a few concerning trends in the mobile weighing industry. Some may seem minor, but they can compromise the accuracy of a weigh-in and lead to incorrect results.

Below are some key things to watch out for when having your car and caravan weighed:

In the mobile weighing industry, accuracy is everything. Whether you're assessing a client’s towing setup for safety, compliance, or peace of mind, your reputation hinges on getting the numbers right. But even when your equipment is calibrated and your process is consistent, unexpected discrepancies can still appear—especially when comparing calculated towball weight (based on axle weights) with the actual measured towball weight from a scale.

John and Mary had spent years dreaming of their retirement adventure. Like many Australians, they planned to travel across the country in their new caravan, exploring the beauty of the open road. After months of research, they finally found what they thought was the perfect van—modern, spacious, and built by a well-known manufacturer. Excitement filled the air as they hitched up their new home-on-wheels and prepared for their first big trip.
