If you’re a camper and traveller, there is a huge chance by now that you’ve given at least a moment’s thought to the gear you take and its impact on the car – and possibly your trailer. This is my second Vlog where I look at taking the ‘black magic’ out of the terms and acronyms such as Tare of the tow vehicle, the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), the tow vehicle’s Payload and the Axle Loads.
The loads you put in, and on (via the roof and towbar), your car have a flow-on effect to the axle loads – as does where you physically place these loads fore and aft of the axles.
So, join me now as I work with you to further demystify these loads and their effect, using bits of timber, a couple of kitchen scales and some sugar cubes.
