Know your nose weight.
Tow with confidence.
A new way to get your caravan loaded safely — starting as a simple calculator, growing into a live weighing sensor. No drilling, no guesswork.

One email when the calculator app is ready, another when the sensor opens for pre-order. Nothing else.
The number that decides how your caravan tows
Nose weight — the downward force your caravan’s coupling puts on the tow ball — is one of the biggest factors in towing stability. Get it wrong and you’re more likely to experience snaking or swaying at speed, especially in crosswinds or when a lorry passes. Most caravans need it somewhere between 5% and 7% of the caravan’s laden weight, and never above the lower of your tow ball’s rating or your caravan’s maximum permitted nose weight.
Most owners only ever check it once, if at all — because doing it properly has meant a separate gauge, a bit of maths, and a bit of guesswork about whether the numbers are actually safe for their specific car and caravan. HitchGoblin is built to fix that.
What’s coming, and when
The calculator app
A standalone iPhone app that works out your safe nose-weight range and towing stability limits from your car and caravan’s own figures. No hardware needed.
The HitchGoblin sensor
A Bluetooth hitch sensor you fit yourself, no drilling required. The app switches from calculator to live weight reading the moment it’s in range.
