Mobile methods and weighing sequence
We check the tow vehicle and caravan as you plan to use them and keep you involved throughout, so every number makes sense.
- Vehicle is weighed first – with all passengers and driver.
- The vehicle is hitched to the caravan.
- Next, we disconnect the caravan and weigh car with all passengers and driver.
- Rehitch caravan and remove from car from pads, measure tow ball height.
- Caravan moved onto weigh pads.
- Place tow hitch of caravan onto Tow Ball Scales at correct height. This height is pre measure. Weights are recorded after each intervention.
- Final Weight data is printed
- If any issues are found with balance or compliance, we then seek a solution along with the client and reprint Final Weight again.
We visit homes throughout Adelaide’s northern suburbs to help you prepare confidently for longer highway trips north or coast trips west.

Top issues we fix for Adelaide northern suburbs caravanners
Many local caravanners prepare for long trips and load up for touring. This can lead to predictable issues that we resolve on site.
We often find
- Rear axle overloaded on the tow vehicle
- Ball weight too heavy or too light
- Caravan sitting nose high or nose low when hitched
Travelling in Adelaide’s northern suburbs often involves expressway speeds and crosswinds on open roads. If the caravan’s balance is incorrect, sway risk increases and braking efficiency changes. A properly set up caravan follows the tow vehicle straight behind it, even at highway speeds.
Why safe towing matters in Adelaide northern suburbs
This region has busy freight corridors and long direct roads with higher speed zones. Travelling north toward Two Wells, Port Wakefield Highway and beyond can place pressure on the tow vehicle if the caravan is not loaded correctly. Overtaking road trains or navigating gusty conditions can expose issues with axle loads or ball weight.
Correct figures mean safer handling at high speed, improved braking under load, and better stability on long stretches.
