Spare Wheel

Nigel,
As your spare wheel carrier was fitted by your manufacturer this should be part of the MRO not your payload.
A 110 amp/hour leisure battery can weigh up to 30kg.
Thanks

Hi Nigel
If the spare wheel is not an extra and comes as standard with your caravan then it is usually in your payload.
An 85 amp battery weighs @ 20kg. We have just done this excercise and cannot believe how heavy they are.
Hope this helps you.

I typed it before Swift responded, hence my post should have been 2nd, not 3rd. They beat me too it :-o
My 110 amp hour battery weighed for the older generation 4st 3lb
85 amp hour would as shown above weigh less
85 amp hour would as shown above weigh less
Its wot it says on me old bathroom scales
Metric is much easier
We started teaching metric measurement in schools nearly 40 years ago but still we have miles/yards on signposts

If the spare wheel is included in the MIRO, then obviously it's not included in the payload. If it's not in the MIRO, then it is part of the payload. In the end, only the MTPLM is what counts. MIRO figures need to be treated with a pinch of salt anyway. Very few, if any, published MIRO's reflect the actual weight of the car or caravan when empty.
Nigel,
As Andy has said, if the spare wheel and carrier was fitted by the caravan manufacturer (i.e. part of the standard specification and not an option), it will be included in your MRO and not the payload.
If the spare wheel and carrier were fitted by anyone other than the manufacturer (i.e. dealer), it will be part of your payload.
It all comes down to who fitted your spare wheel and carrier.
I hope that helps.
