Hi all,
I'm new to caravanning having had one a few years back for one short break and then having to sacrifice it for affordability reasons. I'm just trying to get back into it and am a bit confused with weights.
Could someone please give me a definitive answer regarding noseweight.. Should I be including noseweight in the towed weight of the van or in the weight loaded "in" the car? It obviously(?) can't be counted in both as there's only one nose.
For example, let's assume the following random (but nice to work with) numbers:
- Van MRO: 1200kg
- Noseweight: 75kg
- Van MTPLM: 1400kg
Does the noseweight when towing the van empty mean the car's actually towing 1125kg, and with the van up to MTPLM, towing 1325kg?
Thanks in advance, I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere but I certainly can't find it.
