WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR WEIGHTS
Having your caravan and vehicle weighed professionally is important for several critical reasons:
1. Safety
Correct Weight Distribution: Incorrect weight distribution can lead to sway, instability, and increased risk of accidents.
Avoid Overloading: Exceeding weight limits for your vehicle, caravan, or tow setup can cause mechanical failures like brake issues, tire blowouts, or suspension damage.
2. Legal Compliance
Adhering to Legal Limits: Authorities enforce strict regulations on Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM), Gross Combination Mass (GCM), and Tow Ball Weight. Exceeding these limits can result in fines, penalties, or your insurance being voided.
Insurance Implications: In an accident, an overloaded vehicle or caravan can lead to denied insurance claims, leaving you liable for damages.
3. Optimal Towing Performance
A properly weighed setup ensures better handling, braking, and fuel efficiency.
It prevents excessive strain on your vehicle, increasing its longevity.
4. Peace of Mind
Knowing your setup meets safety and legal standards lets you travel confidently, reducing stress and worry during your trips.
5. Identify Hidden Issues
Professional weighing services often check individual axle weights, tow ball mass, and overall distribution, revealing imbalances or unsafe load setups that DIY methods might miss.
