The most important piece of information you will have when it comes to towing a caravan is the different weights and limitations. These figures are vital because if they’re wrong, if your van is too heavy for your car or if there’s too much weight on your tow ball, you’re in a dangerous zone PLUS your insurance will be null and void.

So how do you find out what your weights are, you can purchase a set of portable axle pads, you could go to a weigh station (but you’d have to be pretty sure you were within the correct weight range to even tow your van to the weigh station or you could call on someone like Weigh Station, a portable, come-to-you service that ensures your car and van are within code.

Whichever one you select, please make sure you do it, it’s vital to keep you and your family safe on the road.
