Caravan Towing Service Cairns

Caravan towing involves transporting your caravan from one location to another, whether it’s for a holiday, relocation, or repairs. I provide this service to ensure your caravan reaches its destination safely and efficiently.

I recommend checking your vehicle’s towing capacity, which can be found in your owner’s manual or on the manufacturer’s plate. It’s crucial to ensure your vehicle can handle the weight of your caravan for safe towing.

ATM is the maximum weight your caravan can reach when fully loaded, including its own weight and the load it carries. I ensure your caravan’s weight is within legal limits before towing.

GCM is the total allowable weight of your vehicle and caravan combined, including passengers and cargo. I ensure your GCM is within legal limits for safe towing.

I suggest using mobile weighing services like Weights on Wheels to accurately measure your caravan’s weight and ensure compliance with legal limits.

If your caravan is overweight, I recommend redistributing the load to balance weight across the axles, reducing unnecessary items, and considering upgrading your towing vehicle if necessary.

Yes, towing is permissible without a number plate if the caravan is unregistered. However, I ensure it is insured and you have the necessary documentation to prove ownership.

While not legally mandatory, I highly recommend having comprehensive insurance for both your towing vehicle and caravan to cover potential damages during transit.

I perform safety checks including tyre pressure, brake functionality, and secure load distribution. I also ensure all lights are operational and that the caravan is properly hitched to the tow vehicle.

I ensure proper load distribution, maintain correct tyre pressures, and consider installing sway control devices. Regular maintenance of both the caravan and towing vehicle is also essential.

Yes, towing on motorways is permitted. However, I ensure adherence to speed limits, use appropriate towing mirrors, and ensure your vehicle’s towing capacity is not exceeded.

I suggest practicing in a spacious area, using a spotter if possible, and making small steering adjustments. Consider taking a professional towing course to enhance your skills.

I recommend looking for local, fully insured operators with positive customer reviews and experience in towing caravans. Grant’s Caravan Towing is a trusted provider in the Cairns region.

Ensure all parties are safe and call emergency services if necessary. Contact your insurance provider and a professional towing service to handle the removal and transport of the caravan.
