Wrong of me I know, but only really checked the noseweight of the van after coming back the last time, and found it to be around 60kg, which is far too light. This is with an empty-ish van, and a lightweight porch awning at the front. Noseweight maximum on the car is 80kg.
Fast forward to today, and put the full awning right to the front with a china dinner set and with the aquaroll and wastemaster at the back, with only towels and bedding really behind the axle. Now just over 65kg.
What else can I practically do to increase this, as short of putting weights in the front, i'm scratching my head as how to increase this?

A china dinner set ?????
It's hardly Royal Doulton  , but we picked up a set cheap, and was trying to demonstrate it wasn't a lightweight Melamine set.
To answer a few questions:
Used a Milenco nose-weight gauge
Single standard gas bottle, over the axle (as with all newer Baileys)
Single axle
MIRO c1300kg, MTLPLM c1450kg
Battery is behind the axle, which I think is causing the lightness at the front. With everything at the front going down to the New Forest this week, it was noticeably better than the previous time out, only noticing higher winds and displacement from cars/vans going significantly faster.
