I am finding it very difficult to achieve the desired nose weight. The caravan is. Swift Challenger 550se - I need to achieve 85kg, but the weight is close to 100kg ( car is a Volvo V70). At the moment I have two 7kg gas cylinders and a spare wheel in the front locker and a 110 amp battery in the battery box,. Plus a motor mover. I can get close to 85kg by removing one of the cylinders (leaving this at home) and placing the spare wheel just over the axle on the caravan floor. I am still relatively new to touring and was wondering whether I should move weight E.g spare wheel further back beyond the axle, but this doesn't feel right.
I would add that when I got the weight right, the set up didn't feel right, the car/ caravan combination prefers the higher nose weight. Any advice or guidance welcome.
