Last time we went away i checked the nose weight and it was 85 kgs, we removed some of the clutter that had collected in the front and with the items under the fixed be the nose weight came down to 75 kgs.
I have to admit that the van towed better at 85 kgs but with the s max being only 75 kgs max its a choice i have to make, overload the nose by 10 kgs and have a very stable tow or load it to its limit of 75 and have a slightly twitchy tow in windy conditions. personally i think i might try 80 kgs when i go to the isle of white next week, if i do get pulled for a check i cant see vospa being too concerned about 5 kgs.
