LOADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF
WEIGHT IN THE CARAVAN
Do not exceed recommended maximum
loading for your caravan.
1. Load evenly right to left.
2. Do not load items at the extreme rear
since this can lead to instability due to the
‘pendulum effect’.
3. Load remainder to give a suitable
noseweight at the towing coupling.
4. Please ensure that your noseweight falls in
accordance with the towing vehicle's towball
weight limit and doesn't exceed 100kg.
5. Distribute items evenly over the axle and as
low as possible to optimize road holding and
achieve the best possible braking effect.
6. Do not stow tins, bottles or heavy items in
overhead lockers when towing.
7. Loose articles should be stowed securely to
avoid movement and possible damage.
8. Ensure that all lockers and cupboard doors
are closed and secured.
9. Secure all bunks (if appropriate).
10. Store the main dining table in its transit position.
Note: Do not load car boot heavily.
