  • Page 12: Achieving A Safe Towing Combination

    Due to how much a camper or caravan may vary in weight depending on the cargo (as much as 3,500lbs to 7,700lbs in the MDC range) it is important to have your tires at the pressure recommended by the trailer manufacturer, for the actual weight of the trailer when loaded.

  • Page 13: Ball (Coupling) Weight

    Where you place the items in your trailer will affect how it behaves. Loading too much weight in the extremities of the trailer can have a very bad effect. MDC owner manuals have a loading guide to assist in this area. By following the guide and ball weight recommendations you’ll achieve the best possible result.

  • Page 14: Hitch Movement

    Hitch Movement Most modern tow bars have an adjustable screw fitted to the hitch receiver that can be used to stop the hitch insert from rattling. Unfortunately this is not a sure fire way to limit sideways movement that can affect how well your trailer tows.

  • Page 15: Maximum Weight Limits

    Maximum Weight Limits The following is an outline of the ratings that will be specified by the manufacturer of your vehicle and the camper/caravan manufacturer. These MUST be followed in conjunction with previously mentioned criteria for safe handling. None of the maximum ratings may be exceeded. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) This limit is specified by the trailer manufacturer and must NOT be exceeded under any circumstances.
