Trips
Trip prep and weights, in one place
A pre-trip checklist built from your actual caravan and tow vehicle, service, tyres, weights and readiness in one sweep, ticked off one tap at a time.
Free on iOS and Android. Explore a fully set-up demo rig before you add your own.
Four days out, the questions start
Are the bearings due before the Kimberley or halfway through it? Is the gas certificate current? Did the weigh-in from March survive the new toolbox? The answers live in three different places, and none of them is the trip folder.
Every caravanner has a checklist. The trouble is it checks the caravan you had when you wrote it, not the one in the driveway.
Readiness, counted down
A checklist built from your rig
loadmate sweeps your service dates, maintenance tasks, tyres, weigh-in staleness and compliance warnings against the trip you've planned, including jobs that fall due between now and departure, not just on the road.
Your every-tow checks, remembered
Build a check-before-every-tow list from a curated picker, tyres, hitch, coupling, brakes, and it lands on every trip automatically. Tick items off one tap at a time and watch the done count climb.
Green means go
Plan the trip once, destination, dates, how long you're away, and your Rig screen reads the checklist back to you: green when nothing's outstanding, amber while checks remain, red when departure is close and a serious item is still open.
On the road, keep the picture current
Log fuel stops for real litres per 100 km, record weight changes as water and gear come and go, and answer one odometer prompt at trip's end to bring every service countdown up to date.

Ready before the driveway
loadmate is free to download on iOS and Android. The demo rig comes with ten trips' worth of plans, checklists and fuel logs to explore.
Common questions
- Is the trip checklist free, or do I need Pro?
loadmate is free to download, and the free account lets you explore a demo rig's trips and checklists in full. Building and planning trips for your own caravan, so the checklist reads from your real service dates, tyres and weigh-ins, is part of Pro. Pro is one annual price for the whole app, with no feature tiers.
- Can I try it before I subscribe?
Yes. The free account loads a regional demo rig, a LandCruiser and caravan, with trips, plans and fuel logs already filled in, so you can tap through every screen first. The demo is read-only, so nothing you tap can break it.
- Is it on iPhone and Android?
Yes. loadmate is free to download on both iOS and Android.
- Does the checklist match the rig I own now, or is it a generic list?
It's built from your actual caravan and tow vehicle. loadmate sweeps your service dates, maintenance tasks, tyres, weigh-in staleness and compliance against the trip you've planned, including jobs that fall due between now and departure, instead of a fixed list you keep re-writing.
- Can I keep it updated while I'm away?
Yes. On the road you log fuel stops for real litres per 100 km, record weight changes as water and gear come and go, and answer one odometer prompt at trip's end to bring every service countdown up to date. You can log a fuel stop at any servo even with no signal. The name alone is enough.
