Planning a caravan trip around towing limits helps prevent fatigue, breakdowns, and safety risks. Towing increases fuel use, braking distance, and travel time, which means routes and daily distances need to be shorter than normal car trips. KamperHub accounts for these towing constraints — fuel stops, weather, free camping, packing lists and budgets, all in one app.

Start Planning Free →Route planner and free camping finder included on the free plan.
Enter your start point, destination, and any stops along the way. KamperHub calculates the best route, total distance, driving time, and fuel requirements. The route planner accounts for your vehicle and caravan combination — not just a car.
KamperHub analyses your route against your vehicle's fuel range and shows where you'll need to refuel. For remote stretches where fuel stations are far apart, the Trip Advisor warns you and suggests carrying extra fuel. Never get caught short in the outback.
Discover free and low-cost campsites across Australia using crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data. Filter by amenities: pet-friendly, powered, toilets, water, showers, and caravan access. Add campsites directly to your trip as waypoints.
See the weather forecast for each waypoint on your trip. Plan around extreme heat, storms, or cold snaps. Weather data comes from Open-Meteo — free, accurate, and updated regularly.
Set your preferred maximum driving hours and break intervals. KamperHub calculates where you'll need overnight stops based on your fatigue settings and suggests suitable locations along the route. Plan realistic travel days, not marathon drives.
An intelligent assistant that analyses your complete trip and provides prioritised suggestions. It checks fuel gaps, identifies stretches without accommodation, flags weather concerns, and recommends adjustments — all before you leave.
Choose from 50+ packing templates organised by trip type — beach holiday, outback adventure, winter trip, and more. Assign items to specific travellers, check off as you pack, and get reminder emails before departure. Never forget the essentials.
Set a trip budget with categories for fuel, accommodation, food, activities, and more. KamperHub auto-estimates your fuel costs based on distance and consumption. Track expenses as you travel and see exactly where your money goes.
Caravan trips require different planning because towing changes how your vehicle performs. Acceleration is slower, fuel consumption is higher, and safe stopping distances increase. Ignoring these factors can lead to rushed days, unsafe driving conditions, and increased mechanical stress on your vehicle and caravan.
Towing a caravan increases fuel consumption by 30–50%. KamperHub calculates fuel stops based on your actual towing consumption rate — not your vehicle's highway figure. Critical for remote outback stretches where the next fuel stop might be 400 km away.
Your vehicle and caravan specs travel with your trip. KamperHub knows your combination's weight limits, fuel tank size, and towing capacity — so trip planning starts from your actual setup, not assumptions. Pair with the weight calculator to check compliance before you leave.
Not every rest stop or campsite can fit a vehicle and caravan. KamperHub's free camping finder filters for caravan access, and overnight stop suggestions account for the fact that you're not driving a hatchback. Find caravan parks, free camps, and rest areas that actually work for your rig.
Select your tow vehicle and caravan from the database. KamperHub loads fuel consumption, tank size, and towing specs automatically.
