Recent studies and police crackdowns have revealed the scale of Australia’ s ' towing problem’. Last year, an ABC News report found that 60 – 65 per cent of caravans on the road were overweight. In one New South Wales police operation, the figure was even more alarming, with up to 90 per cent of vehicles towing caravans found to be overweight. But working out whether you’ re compliant isn’ t always straightforward, with confusing initialisms such as GVM, GCM, payload and towball weight interacting in complex ways.

Know My Tow was created to demystify this process. It is an Australian-built towing calculator app and plugin that helps caravanners, boat owners, and 4WD enthusiasts check how their vehicle and load stack up against manufacturer limits. With a database of over 100,000 vehicles, it calculates your setup’ s weights in real time and shows your available capacity.

Using Know My Tow is simple. Enter your vehicle details( or look them up instantly from the database), add your accessories, payload, and tow weight, and then view your results – including key weights, limits, and available capacity. You can also upgrade to a detailed report for full specifications.
