VANSafe Nambour

Saturday 15 November | Nambour Showgrounds

This free community safety day is proudly hosted by Queensland Police Service Sunshine Coast. VANSafe will be on-site delivering our popular caravan Weight & Safety Inspections, along with a hands-on Towing & Weight Masterclass. All other activities throughout the day will be run by QPS and a range of Sunshine Coast-based local government services, making it a great opportunity to learn more about road safety, crime prevention and community support.

Here’s What You’ll Get on the Day

👨‍🔧 A Hands-On Towing & Safety Masterclass

Join the team from Talking Towing as they break down the most common towing mistakes and how to avoid them. This session is practical, jargon-free, and packed with real-world tips including:

  • How to legally match your van and tow vehicle
  • What all those weight acronyms (GCM, ATM, TBM) really mean
  • What gear you actually need for a safe setup
  • The truth about sway control, brake controllers and breakaway systems
  • Simple safety checks you can do before every trip

⚖️ A One-on-One Weight & Compliance Check

At your session, we’ll:

  • Weigh each axle and your towball mass
  • Check your compliance against legal weight limits
  • Walk you through your results so you know exactly where you stand

Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned traveller, you’ll leave with peace of mind and practical know-how.

🏡 Plus, Local Info & Community Displays
Throughout the day, a range of Sunshine Coast-based government agencies and community services will be on hand with helpful displays and resources. From road safety and crime prevention to emergency preparedness and more, there’s plenty to explore for every road user.
