Filled the van with a fairly representative load, 3/4 of a tank of fuel, full fresh water, empty waste, awning, food and my wife and me.
Gross: 3070 kg
Front: 1500 kg
Rear: 1570 kg
I can now estimate weights for additional payload, as it is added, taking into account how it will affect each axle.
I then looked at the plates under the bonnet, and am confused, as the Fiat and Autotrail figures differ by quite a lot.
I appreciate that makes no difference to tyre pressures, which I can now determine from the
Continental Tyre Pressure table, but which plate applies to the legal amount that I can load the front and rear axles?
