Believe me, you absolutely do NOT want to tow a caravan on the B4518 road from Tylwch to Machynlleth.
Instead of turning off right at Rhayader, continue along the A470 going past Llanidloes (on the bypass) towards Caersws - where the A470 takes a left through Caersws & on towards Machynlleth.
When I showed hubby your route on google he winced...even in a car it wouldn't be first choice. It is VERY hilly - mostly one-lane, little more than farm track in places.
It won't make any difference to your journey time as it is all good main roads.

I have used the Hendre Mynach site at Barmouth on many occasions and would recomend it as you can park the car and forget about it, just take a flat stroll or cycle along the prom into town, we tend to use the site as a weekender as it's only a couple of hours hop from Holyhead and the kids love playing wave dodging with the big waves that crash over the prom wall...... just take plenty of dry clothes lol

I tow from Mid to North Wales a few times every year. Every year my sat-nav tries to send me that way and every year I ignore it. Agree with Caddyclan 100%
