Emergency workers were called to the Hume Highway at Glenrowan on Tuesday after the 34-year-old lost control about 11am.
The Queensland man was between the township exit and petrol station when the caravan and trailer rolled onto their side, slid into wire rope barriers, and flipped into the median strip.
Paramedics had initially said there were two people on board, but police have confirmed the man was the sole occupant.
He was taken to Wangaratta hospital with non-life threatening upper body injuries.
He had been able to extract himself from his white Volkswagen.
"Fortunately nobody else was hurt in the incident," a police spokesman said on Wednesday.
While there were no legal issues with the towing, the man will receive a penalty notice for failing to have proper control of the vehicle.
There were several crashes in the region on Tuesday, including a rollover at Rutherglen about 3pm.
