[john_5040743]

my friend has bought a 2009 avondale dart545 from the Caravan company, but has of now has not got a handbook. Avondale had not printed them so he was told before they closed up shop, does anybody know what the tyre pressure should be the size is 165r13c thanks John

Hi John,

This is a common problem. If you cannot obtain a handbook the following formula may be useful.

A = Maximum loaded weight of caravan (there should be a plate on the 'van stating this figure).(Say 1300kg)

B = Maximum tyre pressure (stamped on tyre catcass) (Say 73psi)

C= Maximum load of tyre (stamped on tyre carcass)(Say 900kgs)

D = Number of wheels. (Say 2)

Multiply A - by B divided by C - then divide the result by D = this is the approximate tyre pressure.

i.e. :- 1311 x 73/900 = 106.3 divide this by number of wheels (2) = 53.2psi.

The figures above are based on my caravan, the handbook of which states tyre pressures are 54psi.

It sounds a bit complicated but is reasonably accurate if you have no other option.

Thanks Ron will look at his Plate on the van, and on the tyre
