New van collection

[noggin16460]

Hi picking up new van in few weeks, should I take any thing heavy like water hog to weigh the front of van down to ensure have some weight in tow hitch as the van is going to empty when picked up

Possibly a good idea, I know that my Bailey T/A is about 120kg on the nose empty so I had to move some stuff out of the car into the caravan to get some weight off the hitch

Our last caravan was nose heavy but be prepared to go either way.

We have had nose heavy vans and nose light vans. Dealerships are usually very quick to hitch you up and wave you goodbye without any test of the noseweight. Take a noseweight gauge with you and insist that it is checked before you hitch up. You will then have some idea about where to place the ballast

The Dealer handover and explanation of how EVERYTHING works will take at least an hour . Make sure they use real water😎
