Can anyone offer any suggestions please? Whenever I load the caravan I always put specific items in specific places knowing that when I check the noseweight it will be about 87kg. (the towball maximum loading for the car is 90kg). I've been doing this with this particular caravan for the last seven years with no problem. However, This time the noseweight is showing 94kg on both my noseweight measurer and bathroom scales. The only thing that is different is that I have a full 7kg butane cylinder in the front locker this time, (15kg gross weight). This, of course, isn't the first time I've had a full cylinder in the front. To try to compensate for this I've moved whatever I can from the front of the 'van towards the centre / back and even put my awning frame in the caravan behind the axle, something that I have never done before. I've also added a couple of kg of water in a container in the shower. These measures have made a bit of difference but I still can't get it below 90kg. It's a very frustrating mystery, the day before we set off on holiday. I am still below the maximum payload limit but don't really want to add even more weight from car to caravan. Any ideas anyone?
