Mountain Trail Caravans dealership invited their customer to consult a mobile caravan weight check service to weigh a brand-new caravan at the Mountain Trail Caravans dealership in Southport on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
The customer was concerned that the robust design of the Mountain Trail caravan may limit the ability to carry enough payload for his remote caravan trips. Thomas and Lindy had their heart set on purchasing the new caravan but wanted to ensure it would be safe to tow behind their 2023 Toyota Landcruiser 300 series.
I was able to visit the dealership earlier than the booking because they were ready and loaded for the caravan weight check. The dealership, Mountain Trail Caravans, had offered their customer to load the new caravan with their possessions so they could make a final decision on payload and the capability of their Landcruiser.
The Mountain Trail is strong and beautifully finished, and this sometimes reduces the payload on some caravans. Not this one! The customer was fully loaded with full water tanks and many other items packed into the cargo lockers and along the floor of this single axle caravan.
The results? Perfectly in check, weightwise. Balancing just needed a minor adjustment because the Landcruiser needs a hitch-height adjustment to reduce the towball load (TBM). There was slightly too much in the back-seat location of the Landcruiser, so this just had to be moved to a location either above or just in front of the Mountain Trails’ axle.
