Hello All
New member here and also new to caravanning
I have a Bailey 420 which we purchased at the NEC show last autumn, I have a2013 BMW 320d sport touring as my tow car.
We are yet to use the caravan due to the current situation but I have been weighing all of the sundry equipment we have purchased to ensure I don’t exceed the total max payload as per the plate on the caravan, my question is , is it preferable to move the accessories that I will be carrying in the caravan whilst towing forward of the axle to achieve a better nose weight or is the priority to keep the weight over the axle leaving a lighter nose weight?
I have a nose weight gauge and have measured a weight of about55kg with the awning forward of the axle but not to the very front of the van.
The max nose weight for my car is 75kg
Thanks in advance
Mick
