SETTING UP YOUR CARAVAN

LOADING YOUR CARAVAN

When heading away on your next big adventure it is important to load your caravan correctly to distribute weight

evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and prevent loading in a manner that can cause a caravan to sway

and/or roll excessively left and right. The optimum ball weight on a caravan is between 9 and 11% of the total

caravan weight.

WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 350KG OR THE MAXIMUM

ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW BAR RATING, WHICH EVER IS THE LOWEST.

Exceeding these limits may result in an accident causing serious injury or death and/or property damage.

• Always load both sides of the caravan evenly

• Load heavy items low and directly over the axle.

• Secure all items to prevent damage to the caravan during travel.

• Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage of ball weight.

• Overhead cupboards should only be used for lightweight items such as clothes, personal items, bedding etc.

• Never store heavy items in overhead cupboards.

• Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.

• Tinned and bottled food for cooking etc should be stored in the pantry cupboard.

• Never load in a manner that causes the ball weight to exceed the limit of the tow vehicle.

• The diagram below illustrates best placements of items based on weight.

This caravan is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. Requirements for breakaway systems can

vary from state to state. It is mandatory to supply a maintenance charge to the breakaway battery source while

driving. You MUST ensure this capability is fitted to your vehicle. The maintenance charge is supplied to the

caravan via the Anderson plug on the drawbar.
