Best Caravan Roads in Tasmania

Towing changes how you read a road. Tight corners that work for a car can be dangerous with a trailer. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) applies a caravan-specific model to every sealed road in Tasmania - prioritising surface quality, road width, and moderate curviness while filtering out roads too tight or too rough to tow safely. Measured at 500m resolution across 40+ signals.

How we score caravan routes

Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) for caravans prioritises sealed surfaces, consistent road width, and moderate curviness - tight mountain switchbacks that are excellent for sports cars can be hazardous with a trailer attached. Surface quality and traffic density carry higher weight than curviness. Roads with low truck traffic, good surfaces, and manageable corner radii score highest. The score runs 0 to 10 at 500m resolution.
