Tow hitch and caravan weights.

Having finished my modifications, I thought I would check the tow hitch weight. With nothing in the new lockers, it was approx 60kg. After redistribution, I have managed to get to 50kg. This was the weight mentioned when I matched car and caravan. All I have to do now is to get to the weigh bridge before Friday. Just to make sure of the final weight of the caravan. Fingers crossed !

So, Max and I have been to the weighbridge. The caravan weighs 600kg. These are the numbers on the tag. IMG_0063 (1).JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I have done a caravan and car match with the CMC.
3 things about weight for the 1990 Puck.

MTPLM 600kg Maximum eight for caravan as specified by manufacturer
MIRO 410kg Empty weight of caravan
User Payload 140kg everything that didn't come with the caravan, but is onboard

It therefore seems that I have reached capacity. I normally put everything in the caravan, but as I found out yesterday, by moving things around, I clawed back 10kg at the noseweight end. It's now 50kg.

The car has a nose weight of 60kg. It has a towing limit of 800kg. I am 25%inside that :)
I had better bring my spring scales to see what weighs what for next weekend.

This shows what a fine line these little Pucks fly by. Interesting to see you state 600kg max when the photo shows 500kg. Mine show 600kg but I have no idea the 'off the production line' weight was. I have never seen an online weight of 600kg for a Pucks. It is very confusing. I need to get to a weigh station...
