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.

* With this vehicle configuration it will be necessary to reduce the
payload carried inside the van when towing to ensure that the MTPLM
and Maximum Axle Loads are not exceeded.
# The Maximum Trailer Weight is limited by the Gross Train Weight which
must not be exceeded. For example if the vehicle is at its maximum
MTPLM of 3650kg, then the Maximum Trailer Weight possible is
1850kg. Reducing the weight of the vehicle by removing payload, will
allow you to increase the trailer weight up to a maximum of 2000kg.
