2.1.2 Recommended tow ball height
The recommended tow ball height when fully loaded is 430 +/- 35mm (i.e between 395mm and
465mm).
2.1.3 Nose Weight
Never exceed the maximum nose weight stated on either, the trailer, towing vehicle or towbar. It is
advisable to distribute the load to achieve a nose weight of between 75Kg and 120Kg.
It is not recommended that you tow with just the living area loaded as this may exceed the
permitted nose weight. The living area payload must be removed or additional payload must be
placed behind the axle to compensate for this.
When using the large Eventa L trailer without payload in the rear, redistribute the fixed payload by
moving the partitions to the rear of the trailer, see chapter “Partitions, 5.3 to 5.3.4”, and by moving
or removing load from the living area.
A towing vehicle with a minimum nose weight capacity of 140kg is recommended for towing this
trailer. Check the plated weights of the towing vehicle and towbar before hitching up. The upper
limit for the trailer coupling head is 150kg.
