Nose weight is the download on a tow bar caused by the weight of your caravan when hitched. Remember, this is not the maximum weight of your caravan, as the weight is distributed between the axle wheels (2 or 4) and the jockey wheel. For all Elddis caravans built since year 2000, our maximum nose weights are 100kgs. Check yours by supporting the coupling head on your bathroom scales, ensuring that your caravan is level at all times.
