MT Wellington access

From my experience I would leave the van below, otherwise the wind may blow it off the top for you.
Why would you want to take it up there anyway, assuming you are even allowed to?

Set up camp and on a free day take a drive around the city and include a drive to the top and experience the great view.

Hi skoller,

If you have a Tvan, I'm assuming you have a decent sort of tug. I don't think you'll have any problem towing up to the top.

I'm pretty sure we towed our Kimberley Karavan with the Prado via Mt Wellington on our way from southern parts to further north. I don't recall any issues. Just be aware that it's a long hard slog. Tvan's 1000kg lighter - I don't think you'll have any problems.

You might get blown away, though, as others have said :-) It was windy as.

Cheers

skoller,
as an expat Taswegian I can speak with some knowledge. Yes you could tug it up there but it is narrow, twisty and obviously a bit steep. It can be windy and even snowing at any time of year. It is worth the drive, it isn't "on the way" to anywhere as it is one road up and down. There is much to see around Hobart so why not find a friendly local and ask if you can offload it for a few hours so you can drive around in comfort and park where you want if you see something you like. The Ferntree Tavern is near the start of the hill - ring them and ask if you could leave it there perhaps.

Distances are short in Tasmania; leave your tvan where you are gong to stay. We were staying south of Hobart near Cygnet and did a full day tour at Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula, heading up Mount Wellington late in the day, and the low sun lit up the buildings of Hobart and the sails of yachts out on the water. The wind was strong and cold, and overall it was a wonderful experience.

We drove through Hobart a few days earlier with the caravan, and it was so misty that we could hardly see where we were going as we passed Mount Wellington, so that would not have been a suitable day to go. You may need to watch for optimum weather as you tour around from you base in the area.

We drove up in early January, not towing though. My wife felt physically sick with the assent and decent because of how close we had to drive to the edge at times. We both commented that we wouldn't like to meet a truck or a caravan as passing in places is a bit squeezee. Admittedly your T Van should track no wider than your car. Also if it's a good day the car park at the top may be a bit full so parking with the van may be difficult.

At the bottom of the hill is a small park with toilets that you could more than likely unhitch if you felt comfortable doing so .

We towed our 18ft van up there just over 12 months with no problems. Tourist busses go up there everyday without problems.
