Wheel Balance Yes or NO?

In my opinion it makes sound sense to have the caravan wheels ballanced. If it cuts down vibration then it will cut down wear and tear on the rest of the caravan. As an earlier poster stated, just because their wheels had not been ballanced, it does not mean that they do not need to be.

Spot on JD i was just confused 45 years in automotive industry to then be told by a caravan manufacturer that is not even that old. that wheel balance was not essential!!!, i have by the way asked for there evidence that wheel balance has no effect on the integrity of the caravan structure, that will be an interesting one given tha the automive industries ride qualities are based on ride harsness and vibration!!!

I went to have my wheels balanced on caravan with Tyrone band's fitted the tyre fitter said he couldn't get enough wheighs on to balance the wheels. 

Who's Tyrone? 

Thought someone would pick up on it, not all of us are educated.

i work in a tyre depot and i always have balanced my own caravan wheels and never had any problems balancing any other caravan wheels 

I took my t/a alloy wheels for balancing, all were out, one by 70g. Given the small cost of balancing against the overall outlay of caravaning it makes sense to avoid unneccessary vibration and wear in my view.

My Swift ( Sprite ) had a towing issue until I had the wheels balanced.

My new to me Coachman also had a towing issue but was cured by balancing the wheels.

Only been towing for 45 + years so not new to towing.

All I know about getting the wheels balanced is that after getting them balanced there was less things moving about in the 'van when towed. Crockery and like had always come out of holders and you had to be careful opening cupboards, since then everything stays in its place.

The point for balancing them proved in your case as many others, Ian.

Just need a cure for pot holes now!

Thanks for the input glad i wasn't the only one that thought Swift were having a laugh, BTW still awaiting a response from my 3rd email from swfit customer services/ technical.
