WEIGHING CARAVANS



Do you plane a caravan adventure, but you’re not sure about the significance of
caravan mobile weighing? 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.

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.

weigh? Consider reaching out to a professional caravan mobile weighing company
