Hi.
Last week collected 2014 Bailey Platinum Pursuit 540/5.
Popped down to storage compound yesterday and decided to almost empty it and with a set of bathroom scales,measured the noseweight on level ground with the hitch very slightly lower to mimic being on car towball.
The result was 95 kilos.
This sounds very high to me for an almost empty van.(battery and gas bottle in situ with minimum water in toilet flush)
If this is the correct weight,I take it that I will have to balance things out when loading(in other vans,ive always worked from the axle and gradually worked my way out both ways then obviously,check nose weight again.
Both car and van has max.100kg.
Just seems rather high to me when empty though.
