3.5.2 Loading the Caravan Correctly
The payload arrangement recommended cannot be adhered to consequently as the storage facili-
ties are to be found throughout the complete caravan. Ensure that heavy items are close to the axles
and the lower area, i.e. directly above the vehicle floor. Store heavy objects (awning , tin cans, etc.),
if possible, in the towing vehicle.
Incorrectly loaded:
Two weight centres which are apart lead to in-
clination to skid.
Fig. 3 Incorrect weight distribution
Correctly loaded:
Do not store heavy objects such as awnings, tin
cans, etc. in the caravan but rather in the towing
vehicle. Store all loads close to the axle.
Fig. 4 Correct weight distribution
Evenly distribute the payload on the left-hand and right-hand side of the caravan.
Store heavy objects (awning, tin cans, etc.) close to the axles so that they cannot slip,
e. g.
- in low-lying storage compartments, the doors of which do not open in the direction
of travel
- on the floor
Store lighter objects (laundry) in the roof storage compartments.
For safety reasons, weigh the loaded caravan before commencing the journey.
Never concentrate the caravan
load at the rear!
