So it's my first trip to the weighbridge with the loaded van.
I'm going for a worst case scenario and loaded everything we would take if everybody was going.
I already know the car weighs 1860kg empty which is more than the MTPLM of the van (with the plate upgrade) so the car will only gain weight (within the limits of the plates of course)
I know how much everything weighs and I've distributed it as I think it will need to be and my calculated van weight (bearing in mind I know its absolute empty weight as I weighed it on my way back from collection) is hopefully going to be around 1710kg.
It seems too good to be true but I dropped it onto the noseweight gauge and I got 95kg which is between 5% and 6% of the actual weight. so I could move a few bits forward to get a bit more on the nose.
So now I'm going to hook up and have a pull out to the weighbridge at the docks in Hull and see how close I am.
So you and I know I'm not cheating, here's an attached pic of my calculations so I can't edit them in the post.
Place your bets - how close do you think I'll be???
