Outfit matching, step 2 is noseweight important?
Yes, check that the predicted noseweight of the laden Airstream does not exceed the lower of the noseweight limit of your proposed tow car, or the towball fitted to it. In reality, noseweight will change according to the options fitted and how you load the Airstream with personal effects. UK Caravanning organisations recommend for maximum towing stability that the noseweight be about 7% of the actual laden weight of the caravan, providing this does not exceed: the noseweight limits stated by the towcar and towball manufacturer or the trailer A frame or coupling maximum load rating as stated by the trailer chassis manufacturer. Airstream have worked with BPW to ensure both the chassis A frame and coupling ratings are sufficiently high (140-150kg) to not be a constraint.
