While all reasonable care has been taken in the preparation of the material contained in this website, Caravan Industry Association of Australia does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, currency or adequacy of the information in this website. The information is provided by way of general commentary only, is subject to change without notice, and does not constitute the giving of advice.
You should seek specific professional advice before acting, or refraining from acting, on the basis of any information contained within this website or any other website which may be accessed through this website.
This website provides online tools, including towing, weight and load calculators and estimators, to assist industry businesses and consumers to understand vehicle weights, loads and related concepts.
These tools produce indicative estimates only, based solely on the information entered by the user. They are educational aids. They are not a measurement, a certification, an engineering assessment or a statement of compliance, and they must not be relied upon as one.
Results depend entirely on the accuracy of the information entered. Actual weights, loads and dimensions must be verified by physical weighing or measurement, and compliance must be confirmed against the relevant vehicle documentation, the Australian Design Rules, applicable standards and the road laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Responsibility for the safe and lawful loading, towing, modification, sale and use of a vehicle rests with the operator, owner or business concerned. Caravan Industry Association of Australia accepts no responsibility for any decision made, or action taken or not taken, on the basis of a result produced by these tools.
Caravan Industry Association of Australia operates voluntary accreditation programs. Accreditation reflects an assessment against the criteria of the relevant program at the time the assessment was carried out. It is not a warranty, guarantee or certification of the quality, workmanship, safety, regulatory compliance, financial standing or conduct of any accredited business, or of any product or service it supplies.
Accreditation status may change, and listings of accredited businesses may not reflect the current status of a business at the time you view them. Inclusion of a business in any listing or directory does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement.
Any dealings you have with an accredited business are between you and that business. Caravan Industry Association of Australia is not a party to those dealings and accepts no responsibility for them.

Before using any such material, you should review it, adapt it to your own circumstances and satisfy yourself that it is appropriate and that it meets your obligations under applicable laws, awards, standards and contracts. Responsibility for that assessment rests with your business.
