[QUOTE="condor22, post: 480768, member: 1932"] As an aside, my measured wheel weight was 1575kg, take from this 60kg for water = 1515kg. The rated wheel weight is 1330kg and I am absolutely sure that I have not added 185kg of gear. Go figure; My advice to anyone towing anything regularly is once you have it set up, ready to go, fully loaded and with all passengers in it - Put it over a weighbridge. If you get pinged on the road, it's you that wears it, not the bloody manufacturer. [i] Edit - I'd also advise anyone thinking of buying a van very close to the tug limits, to get things weighed before you spend, don't rely on the rating plate, or dealer's "it'll be ok[/i]". :) [/QUOTE]
