The National Caravan and Recreational Vehicle Towing Guide
The National Caravan & Recreational Vehicle Towing Guide has been produced in response to overwhelming public demand. In the Guide you will find a wealth of technical information, handy hints and advice, which, when put into practice, will help you to tow your caravan or other recreational vehicle with a greater degree of confidence and safety.
There are currently around 400,000 registered recreational vehicles – including caravans, camper trailers and tent trailers – in Australia. The popularity of these vehicles is growing rapidly, with new registrations of around 20,000 units every year. Of course, there are also innumerable other types of trailers such as boat trailers, horse floats and the humble box trailer, which are used for both private and commercial purposes. But no matter what vehicle you tow and what your level of experience (from first-timer to old hand) you will find the Guide is an invaluable reference tool.
Refereed by nine technical experts with many years of collective towing experience, the information in the Guide is both practical and, at the time of publication, consistent with the applicable national road and towing regulations. For additional towing information or advice, please contact one of the organisations listed on the last page of this Guide.
The caravan and camping industry associations throughout Australia are pleased to make The National Caravan & Recreational Vehicle Towing Guide available to you free of charge. We hope you find the publication useful and we wish you many hours of happy, safe towing.
