TAG Gets Behind National RV Road Safety Campaign

How Confident Are You Towing in Rural Areas? With two-thirds of road fatalities in Australia occurring on rural roads, and over 90% of camping trips taking place in these regions, the need for increased road safety awareness is more urgent than ever. For those towing caravans or trailers, the risks are even higher, making safety education crucial for anyone hitting the open road.

In response to these concerning statistics, a national RV Road Safety campaign "Are you RV Safe?" has been launched by Madventure in collaboration with CMCA, rvSafe, and the Australian Government. This groundbreaking initiative aims to bridge the gap in RV safety knowledge, ensuring that all Australians—whether seasoned RVers or first-timers—are well-prepared for safe travel.

"When Madventure approached us about this project it was clear that we should throw our support behind such an important campaign, a campaign that puts a much needed spotlight on RV Road Safety." - Kurt Schmid, CEO of TAG Towbars. 

As the official towing partner for the campaign, TAG Towbars is proud to provide top-tier Australian-made products for the featured vehicles, including our TAG Extreme Recovery (XR) Towbars. These towbars are designed to handle the Amarok’s maximum towing capacities, offering optimal clearance for improved departure angles, and their lightweight construction provides more Gross Combination Mass (GCM) to work with.

Another innovative product showcased in the campaign is the CURT Rebellion XD drop hitch, featuring ShockDrop technology. This cutting-edge ball mount offers dynamic, adaptive suspension at the coupling point, delivering a smoother towing experience while enhancing control during sudden braking situations.
