The weight of your caravan is a critical factor ensuring a safe journey

The weight of your caravan is a critical factor ensuring a safe journey. Every item you add—be it water, food, bikes, annexes, tables, BBQs, or fire pits—contributes to the  vehicles available payload, eventually forming the Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) and Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM). It's essential to be aware of your GTM / ATM and stay within the manufacturer's legal weight limits.

Vehicle Wear and Tear

Excessive weight in both the vehicle and tow can adversely impact the vehicle's performance, resulting in increased fuel consumption and accelerated wear and tear on various components.

Insurance and Warranty

Exceeding the legally defined limits for Gross Combination Mass (GCM), Gross Trailer Mass (GTM), Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM), and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is against the law. Doing so can risk your warranty in the case of component failures, and even result in loss of insurance coverage if weight is found to have played a role in an accident.

safety

Improper loading or exceeding weight limits can cause caravan sway and make it challenging to regain control of the vehicle during an emergency. Starting your journey with a properly balanced load significantly enhances your ability to navigate safely and reduces the risk of ending up in hazardous situations.
