Hi, Ive been putting our caravan on a diet, it is a Unicorn 2 Cadiz, Its MTPLM is 1498kg, and mass in running order is 1344kg, giving a payload of 154kgs, my question is can you include the nose weight in the equation as to give around 254kg payload. After I've weighed everything in the caravan which did not come out the factory I've got 186kgs of stuff, this includes the motor mover, gas bottles, battery,cutlery bedding, you get the picture, but this does not include clothes, food, miscellaneous kids stuff etc.
I am thinking 254kg is a more reasonable weight for a large caravan,but i can not find anything that says what is and what is not included in the equation.
My reasoning is I tow with a 4x4 which has a limit of 2000kg, if Vosa or who ever they are at the moment weigh the rig, it would be on axel weights, now the car will be fine, but my thought is the caravan single axel will be exerting its nose weight on the car and not on its wheels, therefor can that 75-100kgs be used in the payload?
