Ultimate Caravan Safety Checklist System

Stop "Handover Amnesia" Before It Costs You

Do you actually remember everything from that marathon 2-hour caravan handover? Probably not. Between the excitement of the new rig and the sheer volume of info, Handover Amnesia is real.

 

The "Distraction Gap" is Where Mistakes Happen.

 

Whether it's your first lap of Oz or your five-hundredth, the biggest threat to your safety isn't lack of knowledge—it’s interruption.

 

A quick chat with a mate or a wandering toddler is all it takes to skip a step. The PreTow Mate™ is your physical bridge between "I think I did that" and "I know I did that." It acts as your external memory when your internal one gets interrupted.

 

Rugged. Simple. User Friendly. 

 

Designed and engineered for the harsh Australian outdoors, this 3-part visual aid ensures that even if you get distracted mid-setup, you’ll never drive off with:

 

  • A window unlatched

  • The tow ball unlocked

  • The jockey wheel down

Stop the "Did I lock the hitch?" anxiety. With PreTow Mate™, your checklist stays on track even when your morning doesn't.

 

The SheCamp Secure Safety Station

Don’t just store your keys; secure your peace of mind. By hanging the supplied lanyard inside your van with your van keys attached, you create a centralised safety station. 


One glance confirms your status:

  •  Empty Hook? - the job isn't done.

  • Full Hook? The van is secure, the tags are back, and you’re ready to lock up.

Move to the Ready Mate once you’re in the driver’s seat for your final 'Clear for Takeoff' check. 

 

"Never leave safety to memory again.

If the tag isn't checked off, the job isn't done."

 

Aussie Owned, Designed & Invented. Born from thousands of solo kilometers across Australia and the USA, PreTow Mate™ was created by SheCamp Secure to solve "Caravan handover amnesia" and towing stress for the caravan community.
