The task library is a ready-made list of common caravan and tow-vehicle jobs you can add in a single tap, so you do not face a blank page on the day you start. It is also there to remind you of the jobs that are easy to forget, the ones that matter most for safe towing: testing the breakaway system, repacking the wheel bearings, renewing a gas certificate. You do not have to invent a maintenance plan from memory; you pick the jobs that apply to your rig, and loadmate counts each one down for you. Open the task library from the More tab, then Service & Tasks, then Add from library.

​
Browse the library

The library is organised so you can find the right job without scrolling endlessly. Filter by the asset it applies to, the tow vehicle or the trailer, then narrow by category, such as brakes, gas, electrical, or service. Within each category the jobs are grouped together, and safety jobs are listed first so the items that protect you on the road are the first ones you see.

Each job you have already added shows a small marker, a green check labelled Added, in place of the add button. That way you can browse the whole list without worrying about adding the same job twice. The marker is worked out per asset and updates as you go, and a progress line at the top tells you how many of the library’s jobs you have added so far. There is no need to add everything; take the jobs that match how you travel and leave the rest.
The trailer jobs are labelled to match your region. In Australia and the United Kingdom the trailer is shown as your Caravan; in the United States it is shown as your Trailer. The job itself is the same whichever label you see.

​
Items tuned to your region

The library shows the jobs that apply where you tow, so you are not offered paperwork or checks that belong to another country. The clearest example is the Australian gas certificate, also known as a safety inspection renewal, which appears for Australian users and is hidden from everyone else. Most jobs, including the breakaway-system test and the bearing repack, are useful everywhere and are shown to all regions.

You do not choose your region on this screen. loadmate reads the region you set when you created your account, and shows the matching jobs and the matching wording for distances and trailer terms. If something looks out of place for where you live, check your region in account settings.

​
Add a library task

When a job looks right for your rig, tap it to open a short confirmation sheet. The sheet shows the job’s name, a plain description of what it covers, and its suggested schedule, so you can see exactly what you are about to add before you commit to it. Adding from the library is the quick path: the sensible defaults are already filled in, and you can accept them as they stand.

Three things on the sheet are worth a moment to confirm.
1

Check the interval

The interval is how often the job comes around, shown as a distance (kilometres, or miles for United States users), a time in days, or both. A bearing repack might be set to every 10,000 kilometres, while a gas certificate might be set to every 12 months. You can accept the suggested figures, or open Customise intervals to enter your own.
2

Check how it counts down

The trigger mode decides which interval brings the job due. Whichever first brings it due as soon as either the distance or the time is reached, Distance only counts down on kilometres alone, and Time only counts down on days alone. Pick the one that matches how the job is actually scheduled on your rig.
3

Set the last-completed point

If you know when the job was last done, enter that date, and the odometer reading if you have it. This gives the countdown an honest starting point, so the next-due date and distance are calculated forward from real work rather than from today. If the job has never been done, you can leave this set to never.
Each job you add belongs to one asset and keeps its own schedule, so an oil change on the tow vehicle and a jockey-wheel grease on the caravan count down independently and do not interfere with each other. A few jobs apply to both the vehicle and the trailer; if you add one of those without a particular asset in view, loadmate asks which asset it belongs to first. Tap Add task to save it, and the job joins your task list with its first countdown already running.
Saving a task to your own rig is a Pro feature. You can browse the whole library, open the add sheet, and read every detail as a free, lapsed, or demo user, but the final save needs Pro. Demo rigs come with tasks already in place so you can see how the library works; those demo tasks are there to look at and cannot be changed.

​
Create a custom task

If you keep a routine the library does not list, you can build it yourself with Add custom task. This is the place for the job that is particular to your rig or your habits, anything from flushing the water system on your own schedule to a one-off reminder to renew a membership before your next big trip. A custom task counts down and behaves exactly like a library task once it is saved.

Give the task a clear title so you will recognise it later, then choose a category that fits, such as water, gas, or service. The category helps the task sit in the right group in your list. The custom task is added to the asset you are working on, the same way a library task is. The next decision is whether the task repeats. The Recurring toggle is the difference between a job you want to keep doing and a single reminder you only need once.

​
A recurring job

Turn Recurring on for anything you do again and again. The sheet then asks for an interval, a distance, a time in days, or both, and a trigger mode that decides which one brings it due, exactly the same choices as a library task. You can also enter when the job was last done, as a date and an odometer reading, to give the countdown a real starting point. You need to set at least one interval before you can save.

​
A one-off reminder

Leave Recurring off for a task you only need to be reminded about once. Instead of an interval, you give it a target: a due date, a due odometer, or both. loadmate works out for itself whether to count down on time, on distance, or on whichever comes first, based on what you entered. A one-off task is tidied away once you mark it done, rather than rolling forward to a next interval. Add any notes you want to keep with the task, then save. Saving a custom task needs Pro in the same way as a library task, and the task joins your list with its countdown running.
It is usually worth checking the library first, even for a job you think is unusual, because the seeded list runs to well over a hundred common jobs across both the vehicle and the trailer. A library job comes with a sensible interval and description already filled in, which saves you setting everything up by hand. Reach for a custom task when nothing in the library is a fair match, or when the routine is genuinely your own.

What to do next

Once your jobs are in, the day-to-day work happens in your task list, where you complete jobs, snooze the ones that can wait, and watch the countdowns.

Track and complete tasks

See overdue, due-soon, and on-track jobs in one place, mark them done, and snooze what can wait.

Set up the service schedule

Set your major-service interval so loadmate counts down to your next service.

Log a completed service

Record finished work with its date, odometer, cost, and notes.
