Just be aware that a lot of the backstreets around the Castle can be quite congested with parked cars, mainly from residents who have no designated parking space of their own.
We too are regular visitors to Conwy, and prefare to take the second river crossing over the Conwy estury, after following the route off the A55 for Bwtes-y-coed, and taking the right hand turn just past Bodnant gardens, follow the road up to the top after crossing the bridge, and theres a pub at the top called the Red Lion, turn right, and it will bring you right into the centre of Conwy on the right side of the arch for accessing the coach and motorhome carpark, with its visitor centre and foot bridge across the old castle moat up into the town centre.
I have towed a caravan through the arches in the past, but the knack is to get them lined up correctly due to the arch not being entirely true and central. The problem is that other traffic is often impatient and doesnt allow you the time or space to square up on the approach before snarling up the road as they approach the mini island onto the main roads out of town.
Finally, just because you can get through one of the Arches, you may find the next one rather tight, they are not all equil widths and shapes, the one out of town that leads down past the chippy just inside the wall, and down to the A55 junction is particularly tight.
Good Luck, if you have a look on Google earth regards that better river crossing across the Conwy estury then you will see what l mean, im sorry to say im rubbish at remembering the road numbers, but we do find the one we use avoids a lot of congestion in the Conwy town centre.
