Melbourne to Adelaide on the Western Highway with a caravan or motorhome

Melbourne to Adelaide on the Western Highway runs 730 km from Melbourne to Adelaide. With a car and caravan, you're looking at about 11 hours behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.

We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.

The stops: Melbourne · Ballarat · Horsham · Bordertown · Adelaide

Is Melbourne to Adelaide on the Western Highway OK for a car and caravan?

Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a car and caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
