Please note that the additional weight of the tow bar and trailer nose
weight increases the rear axle loading of the motor home so care should
be taken that the rear axle load is not exceeded when towing.
To ensure adequate road holding, the load on the front axle, under all
conditions, must not be less than 40% or more than 70% of the total
weight.
Care must be taken when distributing loads. The loadings and
weights above are maximums and must not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
CAUTION: When fitting a towbar, it must meet certain minimum requirements as specified by
Type Approval Regulations. The bar will have marked on it the approval standard
(94/20/EC or 55R ECE) and the maximum download, or noseweight, that it can accept.
It must fit the manufacturer's approved mounting points and must not obscure the
towing vehicle's number plate.
