Important checks
- This check used an estimated ball weight for the Cub Campers Wollemi Off-Road - 10% of its ATM rather than a published figure. Check the van's compliance plate before you rely on it.
- The towball limit we hold for the Holden Rodeo is our estimate at 10% of the braked towing rating. Check the compliance plate or the owner's manual for the Holden Rodeo's own figure before you rely on this check.
This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

Towing a van close to your limits
This pairing is inside the published ratings, with not much room left.
The published weights sit close together here. A weight distribution hitch moves some of the towball load onto the car's front axle, which is where the ball weight takes it from. Some car makers advise against one, or approve only their own. Check your handbook before you buy one.
Before you tow
Three published figures decide it for the Holden Rodeo and the Cub Campers Wollemi Off-Road: the caravan's weight fully loaded, the weight it puts on the towball, and the combined limit the car holds for the two together.
Always check your compliance plate
Online databases use factory-standard specs. They do not know about the bullbar on your car, a suspension upgrade, or how much you are carrying. Each one changes your real limits.
How to find it
Open your passenger or driver door. Look for a silver or black metal plate riveted to the pillar.
Why the numbers move once you load up
The figure most often left out of the sum is payload, which is everything you add after the vehicles leave the factory.
- Bullbar and winch: both add weight to the front of the car, and it comes out of your payload.
- Passengers: everyone in the car, including the driver, comes out of its payload.
- Ball weight: the weight the van puts on the towball comes out of your car's payload as well as its towing limit.
Work out what this van is allowed to carry, then check the figures before you pack it.

Where the published weights sit close together, how you pack changes what the scales say. Heavy items ride best low down and over the caravan's axles, and whatever sits on the towball is carried by the car rather than by the van.
