Setting up your Caravan
Loading Your Caravan
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.
•
Always load evenly to both sides of the caravan
•
Load heavy weight over or as close to over the axle as possible and as low as possible
•
Overhead cupboards should only be used for lightweight items such as clothes, personal items, bedding etc.
•
Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.
•
Tinned food, bottled goods 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.
•
Ensure no items can move during travel. Secure all items to prevent damage to the caravan.
•
Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage of ball
weight.
•
Never store heavy items in overhead cupboards.
The diagram below illustrates best placements of items based on weight.
