Dion was absolutely fantastic, thorough and patient with us as we were an hour late, which made him late for next client, we were so embarassed.Can't recommend him highly enough, and also for peace of mind knowing one way or another if your weights are ok.Tina and Paul

Met Dion the other day to get our setup weighed before we start travelling and had an exceptional experience with the weighing of our cruiser and van. Found that we were totally legal but more importantly learnt a lot re weight distribution and the impact this can have on the vehicle and the total rig if now done right. Have towed big and small trailers for many years, but as first time caravanners, the whole experience was worth the small fee. Thanks again for your time and insights Dion.

The cost of having my vehicle and caravan weighed and checked by Dion was the best investment I have made since buying the caravan. The advice and tips will help us greatly in our travels

We met Dion today where he weighed our tow car and the caravan, both together and unhitched. His knowledge and expertise has proven to be invaluable. We are well within legal compliance but Dion also suggested how we could distribute weight better in our caravan. Could not recommend Dion more highly. We have been through 2 weight stations but these are configured to weigh trucks, not cars and caravans. We recommend Dion and Weigh Station as a brilliant service very, very highly.

Thanks to Dion and the team.Comforting to know it is 'legal' at the moment, packed for travel, but not as much 'headroom' for extra stuff as I thought. Recommended for all, very illuminating.

Big shout out to Dion at Weigh Station today. Fantastic service and excellent knowledge. Might only have a small camper with my Dove but great to have the peace of mind to know my weights. I urge you all to go and get your rigs weighed. You will be surprised by the results.

First class service and knowledge of all the rules and regulations required for towing a van and the weights required by law to conform to as well as being made aware of problems that may arise with insurance companies in the event of an accident.I recommend that everyone that tows a van or such like use this service to check on their legal liabilities and knowledge.

My sister in law and I both had our vehicles and caravans checked for compliance with regards to the current legislation by Dion from weigh station.We were absolutely impressed by the professionalism and the manner in which Dion conducted the evolution and in the amount of knowledge we gained in the time he spent with us.The time spent with Dion really showed me how little I really understood with regards to compliance and penalty issues when towing a van.I would highly recommend this service to anyone who tows a caravan or similar to get weigh station to check over their vehicles before going on a trip and ensure that they are compliant.Thanks Dion for your great service and the information you gave my sister in law and I is invaluable.RegardsAlan Munchow

What a great service for peace of mind! Dion accurately weighs all axles on your vehicle and van and checks your tow ball weight. You can't do that on a weighbridge! He then takes the time to carefully explain what all this means and ensure you are legal. Hebthen offers suggestions and ideas for loading. So many caravanners do not seem to understand, or choose to ignore, these complex issues until it's too late. Don't loose everything after an accident when you find out you are uninsured because you were overweight.

Thank you Dion from Mobile Caravan and Vehicle Weighing for your excellent service. Dion came to Ararat and weighed our van and towing vehicle. He not only did the weigh but also gave us lots of up to date tips on what is and isn't allowed with vans and safety ATM. The weigh-in was easy and we received a very comprehensive report. This was a worthwhile process to have done as it ensures our safety when towing the van and could also save many $$$ in fines if we were non-compliant. Give Dion a call and have your car and van weighed for your safety and peace of mind.

Dion was very professional when we had him weigh our set up . Even though it was his fourth job for the day and a typical cloudy & cold Melbourne afternoon he took the time to answer our questions and provided an in depth revision and suggestions of all we needed to do to comply with our weights . A must do for everyone whether experienced with towing or a novice . No hesitation in recommending his company . Thanks again Dion

So happy to have our car and van weighed, it has enabled us to understand what we can do to stay legally within the limits to tow our van safely.Would certainly recommend this service for people wanting the detailed information and peace of mind.For us this means we can enjoy our travels knowing we are safely within our car and van’s limits so paying for this service was a no brainer.Dion was very happy to answer all our questions in regards to additions etc we wanted to make to our car and van, he was also very informative.Thanks Dion.

I have been towing for years and it was just by chance that I had our rig weighed and to say I was shocked by the result would be an understatement, there was no indication that the rig was overweight. We have now had our second caravan weighed by Dion, it is a real eye opener when you get the results. Dion is very patient and most helpful in his explanation and overview of the process and results. We bought our second caravan with the weights very much top of mind but still have to make adjustments after the weighing process with Dion yesterday. You think all is ok until you actually see the results. I purchased a stick style towball weighing device and and was very happy with the result until Dion checked it with his calibrated scale - It was 51kg heavier than I thought, this impacted on the tow vehicle weights. I would recommend anyone with a van get their weights checked and would highly recommend Weigh Station for this service.

Would like to give this service a 10 ⭐️ rating! Very professional and detailed inspection carried out on our new caravan for the ‘first time’ owners. Every step of the process was explained in easy to understand language. On top of this, a very comprehensive 3 page report was also provided. A very slight correction was identified and then explained clearly how to correct it (rearrange our packing distribution slightly). Worth every cent to know that we are compliant and even more importantly safe! Worth every cent! Thank you Dion. 👏🏻

Dion came to us today to weigh our tow vehicle. Despite not yet having our new caravan, we wanted to make sure our vehicle was up to the task of towing the large van we have ordered. Dion was very knowledgeable, patient and extremely thorough in explaining every element of the process. We will be re-engaging Dion to weigh our new van / vehicle combo when we take delivery. We highly recommend Weigh Station to all caravanners!

Highly recommend this service. Dion provided a detailed report which he walked us through explaining in detail what he had found and how all weights were calculated and what terms meant. All of our insurance would have been completely useless if we did have an accident. Dion clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience that he shared with us freely. We will be getting him back once we’ve made some adjustments to our setup. As Molly used to say….do yourself a favour!

We had Dion out to weigh the new Caravan and Ute we had purchased before we took the van out on the road.Dion was punctual, informative, well presented and a great communicator. He clearly explained all the different measurements, where the weights were, what we could add and still be within limits, and what we be able to do to increase the ball weight at the front of the van.I would highly recommend Dion and the WeighStation team to anyone who is, or is looking to tow a caravan. The information supplied is informative an invaluableYou can never be to safe!Thanks Dion!

Graeme Dennehy
23:49 22 Sep 21
Dion's report was excellent. It identified areas on our setup that were either overloaded or close to the mark along with providing information on how much further capacity we had to increase our payloads in both the vehicle and caravan. The report indicated that our ballweight was around 20kg more than the allowable on our car. As it is a new van, I contacted the caravan supplier and he immediately agreed to undertake modifications to bring the ballweight back down to an acceptable level. This is a very good reason why people should utilise the services of WeighStation. Thank you Dion!

To blustery/ sun showered city that is Ballarat Mac travelled today - and what a service did he provide. From the friendly approach, clear level of knowledge and his ability to explain it in a way that made sense - I could not fault him or the service he provides.

I can thoroughly recommend Mac's weigh station services, in fact, I believe they should be mandatory for anyone towing a heavy van for the sake of safety and an understanding of what is required and why.Mac was great to deal with and I feel happy that I have the information required to ensure the safety of my caravan and vehicle set up.Thanks Mac, I will be sure to recommend you in my travels.
Peter Mericka
19:41 08 Nov 20
Can't speak highly enough of Mac and WeighStation. I wanted peace of mind in terms of safety and knowing that my rig was compliant (who wants to be put off the road for weight problems). Mac discovered that my rig was overweight as it was, but advised on how redistribution between caravan and car could help, without having to jettison too much. I would advise anyone embarking on a road trip to have their rig checked by Mac. Stay safe!

This is a very thorough and professional service provided with the provider obviously well versed and expert in the field (and very ready to provide any remedial advice required). A very thorough report is provided together with expert advice. The portability of the equipment enables the service to come to you, negating the inconvenience of having to hook up and tow, often a considerable distance, to a fixed weighbridge.I would recommend this service to all caravan owners, as interstate enforcement becomes more intense in recent years. I thought I was comfortably within all weight limits but found my complacency to be misplaced. Even though the margins of my errors were not large and can be remedied fairly easily, had I been picked up on the road while touring, it would have put me to severe inconvenience.Well worth the modest cost involved, which is much less than any fine which might be imposed for non-compliance.

How lucky were we to win a door prize of a vehicle and caravan weigh through Weigh Station at the Masterpiece Caravan Muster held last March in Deniliquin.From our first contact with Mac we found him to be friendly, professional, extremely helpful and a wealth of knowledge.At the conclusion of the weigh, which took approximately one hour, Mac presented us with a detailed report.This has really taken the ‘guess’ work out for us and we can now feel safe in the knowledge that we are weight compliant – truly a worthwhile exercise and extremely important for those of us living and travelling in our vans full time. We highly recommend leaving the public weigh bridges for the trucks!

We could not recommend Mac more highly, he is fabulous to deal with, professional and prompt with the report.The weigh process was thorough, informative and has given us complete peace of mind that our van is towing at the right weight and is balanced correctlyWe think Weigh Stations service should be mandatory for all vans, if nothing else it gives you the knowledge you need to be as safe as you can possible be on the roadThanks so much Mac we will be recommending you to everyone we know.

Mac came to our place in Badger Creek and greeted us with a smile and the new elbow bump hello. He went through carefully what he would need to do to get an accurate reading on the car and the van and then proceeded to get things moving, all the time chatting about various bits and pieces. It took about 1.5 hours to complete but at the end we were provided with a great report that is extremely detailed but still simple enough for the layman to understand - which to us was brilliant. The report is in colour, simple to understand and gives weights for all categories in both car, caravan and of course combined weights.We would highly recommend Mac and Weigh Station to all caravan and Motorhome owners..

Great service and Mac is very knowledgeable on the weighing of cars and vans. I learnt a lot. Hopefully others with fully packed cars and vans do the same as I did and get checked out.

Mac from Weigh Station came up to Broadford and weighed my car and caravan. I found him to be very knowledgeable, thorough and professional throughout the entire process, which lasted about 90 minutes. Mac answered all my questions and provided some really good explanations of the multitude of terms and acronyms used in this area. Having Weigh Station come to me simplified the whole process as well.Once finished I was provided with a 3 page report (hard copy and electronically) that showed everything and was easy to read. The report will make it easy to refer back to in the future.I highly recommend everyone with caravans to get them weighed, and in my opinion Weigh Station is the obvious choice to do it.Do yourself a favour and give Mac a ring.

Mac runs a fantastic service that a can say is an absolute must if you have a caravan and use it for any matter of travel.I had been using weigh bridges for months during the planning and preparation of our extended trip, my experience with these weigh bridges now (after using Weigh Statin) is they are a guide at best!Mac's accurate service showing a difference of 100kg when he properly measured the tow ball mass this making a massive difference to my GVM in combination.Mac spent time with us shifting cargo around, reviewing weight results as we went to find the best packing strategy for our setup. This was absolutely awesome and takes the guess work out.I highly recommend his service, a must for responsible car and caravan owners.

We were very happy with Mac’s friendly professional service and advice. We can now comfortably tow our caravan within load limit fully loaded including full water tanks and also know margin available for extra weight if required.

Our group of the 3 vehicles and caravans used Weigh Station to check our weights and we were very pleased with the service, efficiency and advice. Mac was knowledgable and we all came away with insights we had not known. Highly recommend their services, no matter how much you think you know.

We had Mac come out to weigh our van and car prior to going on the road full time. We’d previously used public weigh stations a couple of times and thought we were close to our limits.Turns out we are under by quite a bit with some room to move. Mac explained all aspects of the process in simple terms and also helped us to eliminate many of the common myths you hear of. Highly recommend this service for anyone towing a load. It’s peace of mind.

We met Mac at the Mornington Caravan Show and booked in.Very courteous and professional and reasonably priced. For me it was money well spent, as it was all guess work. Now I know where I stand for both car and van.In my view, weighing should be mandatory for all van owners.

Thanks for a great professional job Mac!We had WEIGHSTATION come to our home to have our van and tow vehicle weighed after hearing horror stories about problems people had with their rigs not being legal for safety and insurance coverage. Mac did a great, thorough job weighing and explaining everything in detail to make sure the we understood all the weighs, etc.We can now travel knowing that our van and tow vehicle comply with regulations and safety levels. We will keep the detailed print-out and report in the van at all times just in case we need it while on the road.You can be sure that we'll spread the word about your terrific service, Mac!Thanks again!

Yesterday we had our tow vehicle and large caravan weighed by Weigh Station. Mac was very professional and provided us with not only a verbal description of all weights compared to the compliance plates on both tow vehicle and caravan he also provided a print out of individual and combined weights.The whole process was seamless and very professional. The whole process took about an hour and a half.We now have a print out which will be kept in our car when ever travellingwith the van and more important for insurance purposes if ever needed.We are a retired couple who enjoy travelling in our caravan and know nothing about TARE,GTM,ATM,TBM,GVM, and GCM. We now have this detailed report to put our minds at ease.Thanks Mac you were brilliant.

In preparing for our extended trip, we were concerned that our caravan and Landcruiser were going to be overweight. We contacted Mac at Weigh Station and organised for him to come out to our home. Although it takes some time from start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Mac was thoroughly engaging and professional, he fully explained the processes involved and demystified all the jargon and acronyms with ATM's, GCM's etc. We received printouts of all the individual weights including schematics which made it easy to comprehend and understand. As it turned out, we were over allowable weight limits in both the caravan and vehicle, so some adjustments have had to be made. All in all, well worth going through this process. Thanks Mac.
