hi steveHi Chris,
How are you finding the van, I am waiting to take delivery of a Charisma 555. Do you have any little niggling problems with it that I sjould be looking for. Sorry i cant help you with your original question, but have you thought about taking your gas bottle out of the front locker while travalling.
cheers Steve
Hi Chris,hi steve
No problems with the van as yet but we've only used it once.The fixed bed was a god send no more making up beds.the only problem i am cocerned about is the noseweight, front locker was virtually empty took out the gas bottle but still weighed over 90kg.What car are you going to tow yours with.Going to france in august for the first time might have to change the car.

hi steveHi Chris,
I had a similar problem with my Avondale dart. I had a Passat as a tow car. The nose weight was around 90kg on the van, I had to get it down to 75kg. I had to take the draw unit from the front of the van and place it on the floor at the back. I also had to put the awning slightly behind the axle to help lift the front end up. I think the draws in a Chaisma also come off, you could try it. Let me know how you get on.
Cheers Steve
