thats great, thanks

the only thing im missing is the recommended nose weight, but i think that should be about 8% of the laden weight???

which would make the ideal nose weight about 70kg i think???

What are you towing it with?

Chassis plate should be near the door with the laden and unladen weights and sometimes the noseweight.
