Before the journey
Check the nose weight before each journey, e.g. with a nose weighing
scales. To obtain a correct value, position the nose weighing scales vertical
under the coupling jaw and place the caravan drawbar horizontal.
The payload in the caravan must be distributed in such a way that the
measured nose weight comes as close as possible to the maximum per-
missible nose weight. The maximum permissible nose weight is not be
exceeded.
Axle load
The axle load (Fig. 6,3) is also specified in the vehicle documents of the towing
vehicle and provides information concerning the permissible maximum load
for the front and rear axles. The axle load may not be exceeded by a trailer.
The above illustration shows where which forces act on the car and caravan.
