ATM Upgrades for Caravans

To get more payload (weight carrying capacity). The payload is the legal amount of weight that you are allowed to fit inside your caravan and it is common for caravans to have small payloads.

With increased accessories in caravans, combined with the supplies required for long and remote Australian travel, the manufacturers payload is often simply not enough sometimes.  

Anyone who wants more payload would benefit from a caravan payload upgrade. Those who have purchased a second hand caravan or those who want to add more accessories should strongly consider the weight carrying capacity of the vehicle before heading off on a trip.

Often caravan owners add accessories without the consideration of the weight of the caravan.  For example, heavy items like additional batteries and solar panels that enable off the grid trips add significant weight to the caravan. If you have a caravan that has additional items like these, or are looking to add these yourself, it is important to make sure the caravan will be within the legal weight when you next travel.

That depends on your caravan. The first step is to inspect your caravan and determine what (if anything) needs to be modified.
