Caravan Nose Weight Calculator | Ensure Safe Towing Limits

Disclaimer:

This calculator provides estimated nose weight recommendations based on standard towing safety guidelines (5%-7% of the Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass, MTPLM). While this tool is designed to assist in promoting safer towing practices, it does not account for every factor that may influence safe towing. Therefore, users should always refer to their vehicle and caravan manufacturer’s specifications to confirm the maximum tow weight and nose weight limits.

The results provided by this tool are for guidance only and should not be relied upon exclusively for determining safe towing limits. Incorrect weight distribution, improper loading of the caravan, or any other modifications to the vehicle or trailer may result in towing instability, excessive wear, or damage to the towing equipment.

 

Important Notes:

• This tool does not replace professional advice. If you are unsure about the towing capacity or nose weight of your vehicle, you should seek advice from a certified professional or consult your vehicle's manufacturer.

• The maximum nose weight you input must be based on the lowest of your vehicle’s towbar rating, towbar capacity, and trailer recommendations.
