There have been a lot of posts recently about MH Weights.
It is clear that it is an important issue, affecting Safety and Legislation.
Although I have a sensible Payload for my MH, I do want to know the accurate Axle Weights, so that I can adjust Tyre Pressures.
I am sure that many of us take our MHs to a Weighbridge, but inevitably we will subsequently add or remove items, which will affect the weight.
I have produced the attached Spreadsheet to assist me in that, and thought I would share it.
It is easy to use, and once you have entered the Wheelbase, Plated Weight and Weighbridge Weight, you can add/remove items, and the Actual Weight will update.
I was surprised how much of an affect the rear overhang can have. Even with my HM, adding a bike weighting 25kg to the Tow Ball adds 38kg to the Rear wheels and removes 13kg from the Front.
I have uploaded it with my MH details included, but to use it just over-write any data in the Pale Blue or Yellow Cells, to suit your MHs.
I hope it is of use.

The aim of this Spreadsheet was to allow me to add or remove items from my MH, once I had been to a Weighbridge, but to still know the actual axle-weights. Although I am confident that I have sufficient Payload, I wanted to know accurate Axle...
