Ball Weight
When loading your camper, the generally accepted tow ball weight once loaded is around 10% of the total weight of
the caravan. Use a ball weight scale to identify the ball weight and load the camper in a manner that achieves the
desired weight. Ideally, once loaded the first time, take the caravan to a weigh bridge, and measure the total weight
loaded including the weight on the jockey wheel. When the total weight is known, adjust the load locations to meet the
desired balance considering 10% is the generally accepted benchmark.
Effects of Weight Distribution
The distribution of weight in a camper can influence the handling and performance. Overloading the front or rear may
cause adverse handling and sway. Additionally, overloading the front or back can induce a pendulum effect that can
cause dangerous sway and cause an accident.
Tyre Pressures
Tyre pressures have a large effect on the handling of your caravan. Tyres that are under the recommended
pressure for the caravans’ actual weight can cause a dangerous sway. It is important to follow the correct
pressure guide. The guide below indicates pressure for the ATM which includes ball weight of 10%. Pressures are
cold inflation applicable to the standard Goodride 265/75R16 tyres fitted.
