Are you looking for a professional caravan weighing near me? Perhaps you’re unfamiliar with the different weight terms and when to weigh your caravan. When you buy a caravan, it doesn’t contain all your gear. Once your caravan is packed with everything you need it’s important to ensure its total weight is within the towing capacity of your towing vehicle, otherwise you could invalidate all your insurance. Here, we will help you with various weight categories and provide insights into the weight caravan and why weighing a caravan is crucial. DO YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CARAVAN MOBILE WEIGHING? Caravans, like any other vehicles, are designed to handle a specific maximum weight. This weight limit ensures safe and efficient operation. It’s essential to note that your towing vehicle also has its own weight limits. When your vehicle for towing is hitched to a fully loaded caravan, it’s subjected to a substantial increase in weight. This extra weight can impact your ability to control the caravan, especially in challenging conditions like winding roads or sudden stops. It can also affect your vehicle’s performance in terms of fuel efficiency and air conditioning. Exceeding your car’s manufacturer-set weight limits can lead to legal issues and safety concerns. It’s crucial to consider caravan mobile weighing and towing vehicles correctly before embarking on your adventure to prevent these problems. KEY WEIGHT TERMS YOU SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH Before diving into the process of caravan mobile weighing, let’s familiarise ourselves with some essential weight terms: GROSS COMBINATION MASS (GCM) The Gross Combination Mass represents the total weight of your entire rig, including your caravan and your towing vehicle, with both fully loaded. GROSS VEHICLE MASS (GVM) The Gross Vehicle Mass is the maximum allowable weight of your towing vehicle when it’s fully loaded. The vehicle’s manufacturer determines this weight limit. TOW BALL WEIGHT Tow Ball Weight is the maximum weight that your caravan can exert on your towing vehicle’s tow ball. This value is also set by your vehicle’s manufacturer. You can use a manual or digital measuring gauge to determine your caravan’s actual tow weight at any given time, ensuring it remains within your vehicle’s limits. Generally, your tow ball weight should be approximately 10% of your Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM). AGGREGATE TRAILER MASS (ATM) The Aggregate Trailer Mass is the maximum allowable weight of your caravan when it’s fully loaded without being attached to your towing vehicle. This value is determined by your caravan’s manufacturer and includes both axle weight and tow ball weight. GROSS TRAILER MASS The Gross Trailer Mass is the actual weight of your loaded caravan at the axle when it’s connected to your towing vehicle. This value will always be less than the ATM since some of the weight is transferred to the towing vehicle when hitched. HOW TO WEIGH MY CARAVAN PROPERLY? Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s explore how much do caravans weigh. We’ll discuss different methods, including using weighbridges and portable caravan scales: USING WEIGHBRIDGES Weighbridges are the most accurate way to weigh your rig. These facilities are designed to help with rig, car and caravan weighing to determine their weights and payloads. Here’s how to use a weighbridge: 1. Drive your entire rig onto the weighbridge, ensuring that both your caravan and towing vehicle are fully loaded, including passengers, gear, food, fuel, and water. 2. Weigh the fully-loaded vehicle and caravan together. This is known as the Gross Combined Mass (GCM), and it should be less than the maximum GCM specified for your vehicle. 3. Next, weigh the caravan while it’s still connected to the vehicle. Drive the vehicle off the weighbridge, and the difference in weight will provide you with the weight on the caravan axles. Ensure this weight is less than the plated Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) specified for your caravan. 4. To calculate the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of your towing vehicle, subtract the weight on the trailer axles (from step 3) from the GCM obtained in step 2. 5. The final step is to ensure that the caravan’s ball weight is within its limit, typically specified on the caravan’s VIN plate. To determine this, subtract the weight from step 3 from the GCM obtained in step 2. PORTABLE CARAVAN SCALES While weighbridges offer the most accuracy, portable caravan scales provide a convenient option for caravan mobile weighing. These scales are easy to use and can be carried with you. HERE’S HOW TO USE PORTABLE CARAVAN SCALES: 1. Place the portable scales on the ground and drive your caravan over them. These scales typically record the weight of each wheel and provide a total weight reading. 2. The scales help you identify if the weight is distributed evenly on both sides of your caravan, ensuring better performance and safety. Portable scales can be a practical option, especially for smaller caravans. However, always check the product’s specifications to ensure they are suitable for your caravan. CONTACT US When Should You Conduct a Caravan Weight Check? CARAVAN WEIGHT CHECKS ARE ESSENTIAL IN VARIOUS SCENARIOS WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CARAVAN Before buying a new caravan, it’s advisable weight check caravan. The manufacturer’s plated weight may differ significantly from the actual weight once the caravan is fully equipped with accessories. BEFORE LOADING YOUR CARAVAN Obtain the tare (empty) weight of your caravan before loading it. This helps you understand how much weight you can add while staying within the caravan and vehicle weight limits. WHEN YOUR CARAVAN IS FULLY LOADED After loading your caravan with all passengers, gear, full water tanks, gas bottles, and any additional items like bikes, it’s essential to conduct a weight check. Over time, the addition of extras can easily push you over your legal weight limits. AFTER ADDING ACCESSORIES It’s crucial to re-weigh your caravan if you’ve added accessories like extra water tanks, an air-conditioner, additional batteries, an awning, or any other upgrades since your last weight check. Understanding and managing caravan weight is vital for your safety and the performance of your vehicle. So, before you hitch up your caravan and hit the road, make sure you’ve weighed your caravan correctly. It’s a small effort that goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and safe journey.
