That's certainly not a question you ask a lady,is it? With the opening of a brand new Public Weighbridge close to home, Robin took the opportunity to find out the weight of both the car and caravan today. We were hooked up and raring to go to a caravan rally a day early, because we can, so stopped off down by the station grounds to do the deed.
Weighing and Measuring Solutions have public weighbridges all over the country. Its easy to book a slot, just go online, follow the prompts and you are ready to go.
Thee new weighbridge
Robin drove onto the weighbridge, being careful to position the car and caravan on the separate areas.
A phone call to the company guided him through the easy process. Robin confirmed he wanted a record of separate weights, went into the little shed, and low and behold, the computer inside produced a printout. Just like that!
Mmm, what does it say, I wonder?
So the all important weights are:
Car, 2900 kg. The maximum laden weight of the car is 2949, the extra weight equates to adding the generator to the boot, Robin reckons.
Caravan, 2900 kg. With full fresh water tank, diesel and two gas bottles.
The gross combined mass is 5800kgs - the max is 6099kgs so we are all legal.
The process was quick and easy, and well worth the cost of $25.

That’s good peace of mind. The topic of weights is ever present over here, with most vans being considered overweight. We are borderline.
