Having emptied the van I decided to check the noseweight of the unladen van
Unladen that is except for 2 partly full Camping Gaz bottles in the front locker and the spare wheel in the Alko carrier to the rear of the axle and the leisure battery which sits over the wheel.
I was prompted to check the noseweight as a reply to another posting a few months ago asserted that European vans leave the factory with 65kg nose weight or thereabouts.
Well it doesn't work like that with the Bailey Senator Oklahoma.
The noseweight is completely over the max of the noseweight gauge and about double the 65kg hoped for.
