wife and i are going away for the weekend (dont get many) I never had this problem before. The wife normally packs even the kitchen sink lol

Because its only for a weekend i dont have enough in the van to give me 70kg's nose weight and im not taking the awning. Can this be a problem only every thing i have in the van (apart from pots and pans and the like, is up front but only getting 55-60 kg's. will this be enough. there is probably an obvious answer but i have always managed to hit 70kg's without any problem before lol. Thanks

leisure battery is in a side locker, but will see what i can get in.  thanks

From what I understand it just as bad to have nose weight under, try putting some stuff in your locker.

That's exactly right, IT IS just as bad to have a reduced noseweight as it can cause instability especially when braking. What Aceselect has suggested is good advice by increasing the weight in the front locker.

can anyone tell me what should the nose weight be for magnum compass classic.?

4 berth-fixed bed.

- or where i can look to find out.

Between  5% and 7% of MTPLM. I'd go with the larger figure but not over it. Too light will cause pitching.
