 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really nice guy. Organised the the manufacturer for me to have access to the van pre sale. Couldn't recommend more. Organised from another state pre sale with lots of moving parts.
All went according to plan. Even the manufacturer liked Rhys.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sally and Rhys were awesome from the get go, amazing communication from Sally in organising the appointment and ensuring our chosen weigh area was suitable for them. Rhys was bang on time and right from hello helped us to understand how to balance out our car and hybrid camper. He helped us to understand everything he was looking at and if we needed to upgrade anything. Professional, timely, reliable & happy to dumb it down for us newbies. The report is also extremely helpful. Thank you Sally and Rhys 😊

Why do I Need to Weigh my Trailer?

Safety First

Incorrect weight distribution or overloading can lead to trailer sway, reduced braking performance, poor steering control and suspension issues.

Weighing ensures your setup is stable and safe on the road.

Stay Legal

Authorities across Victoria regularly conduct roadside checks. If your setup exceeds legal limits, you could face fines and penalties, defect notices and insurance complications.

A professional weighing ensures you remain compliant.

Excess weight puts stress on critical components, suspension, brakes and tyres.

Regular weighing helps prevent costly damage and extends the life of your trailer.
