We have purchased a Volvo XC60 with a towbar already installed.
I have plenty of experience towing and being quite fastidious about nose weight - but that was about 15 years ago and I haven't towed since. And 15 years ago my memory was a bit shaper than it is now.
This is my first post, and I'm already asking for help; forgive me.
I can't even work out what nose weight I should be aiming for?
Do I take a measurement from the caravan (a bailey unicorn Cadiz) or is there something that should have come with the car indicating any limitations of the towbar that is fitted?
I was really good with a cut off broom handle and a set of scales back in the day, so if I knew what to aim for I'd be ok, but I'm pretty lost at the moment.
Car and van being picked up separately in the next 7 to 10 days, so any help greatly appreciated.
