Overview
The Reich Caravan Weight Control (Orange) takes the guesswork out of knowing exactly how much your rig weighs — before you hit the road. Rated to a maximum of 1,500 kg per wheel, this precision electronic scale system measures your caravan or motorhome's total mass as well as the individual load on each wheel, with a deviation of less than 3%. Three dedicated measuring programs cover single-axle caravans with a support wheel, tandem-axle caravans with a support wheel, and full motorhomes — so it works with virtually any Australian rig configuration. Operating across a temperature range of 0–50°C, it's built to handle everything from a frosty Blue Mountains morning to a scorching outback run.
Designed for Australian caravanners, 4WDers, and RV travellers who want to stay legal and travel safely, the Reich Weight Control eliminates the need to hunt down a weigh bridge or pay for a public weighing station. Simply drive each tyre over the scale pad on a flat, hard surface and the unit calculates your total weight and individual axle loads in moments — giving you a clear read of any uneven load distribution that could compromise towing stability on corrugated outback tracks or winding coastal roads. Whether you're packing for a lap of Australia, heading to Fraser Island, or preparing your motorhome for a long-haul interstate run, this scale helps you load smarter, avoid costly overweight fines, and tow with total confidence.

For loading decisions, yes. For anything official, the public weighbridge ticket is still the number that counts. What this gives you is the ability to check at camp, shift gear, and check again, which is the part a weighbridge across town never lets you do.
What does a deviation of less than 3% mean in practice?
On a heavily loaded wheel it means your reading can sit a fair few kilograms either side of true. That is plenty to spot a van loaded heavier on the awning side, or to see a change after you move the generator. It is not the precision to run within a whisker of your limit.
Why do I get different readings each time?
Match the program to your rig, then get the setup right or the reading lies to you. Level, solid ground under every wheel, handbrake off, and the jockey wheel down exactly as it sits when you weigh at a bridge. Sloping gravel is the usual reason readings disagree.
