talk about an overloaded van

Postby pogue on Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:38 pm

as vanners or campervan owners do you regulary check the amount you load in you rig? do you place heavy items over the axles? nice to hear your veiws. most 'snakeing' vans are due to poor and overloading problems.

I have actually considered getting a nose weight gauge for my trailer.

 

I can usually tell by lifting the front if its about right, but I like to have the facts to hand to be confident in my answers if stopped by the police.

I wonder how many peeps with caravans actually use one, if i had a caravan I'd be using one for sure :cool:




Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...
