As a legally qualified International Transport professional, I am amazed that Caravan owners are left to their own devices to work these issues of loading and weight out by themselves, there should really be some mandatory test to gain the E category entitlement.(not through grandfather rights either) and this should cover loading and weight in detail along with the potential issues of towing.
With regard to HGV drivers they get basic training regarding loading, spreading their load and securing their load, but there are still many that get stopped and are found to be overloaded on a axel or two, or their load is not secure or the whole load is too heavy for the vehicle, so what chance does a Caravan owner have?
Sad state of affairs really.
