NOSEWEIGHT

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE CORRECT NOSEWEIGHT OF A BAILEY SENATOR SERIES 6 VERMONT IS. I HAVE TRIED LOOKING ON BAILEYS WEBSITE BUT FOUND NO INFORMATION.

There is no "correct" noseweight for any van.

The noseweight is dependant on what is creating the load, and is limited by two other limitations.

First is the car makers maximum towball loading, and secondly the van chassis makers hitch head limit, which for Al-Ko chassis is 100kg.

From your other posts, the noseweight will vary depending on size of cylinders used, and also the loading in front of the axle inside the van, counteracted by the loading behind the axle.

Car makers have no reason to talk to van makers as car manufacturers produce a road going vehicle which in its primary guise is not with towing caravans in mind.

Thanks you Damien for your swift reply to my questions.
