Apparently, 90% of caravans are overloaded in QLD.
New Caravan owners also don’t know how to tow.
My father had two different people independently tell him not to put too much weight at the back of the caravan.
He knew better. He put most of the big, heavy stuff at the back of the caravan. It was more convenient to load it that way because you could still get in the door.
He rolled the caravan. Yes, rolled. Some people hear “Don’t touch the electric fence” and immediately poke it to check. Not a good listener, my dad.
That’s cool. OK, so 60/40 front to rear is the ideal weight distribution, and they show what happens if you have more weight in the rear, but what happens if you have too much weight in the front?
Edit: Found a longer video that goes over things in more detail. Got some good other videos like How to control trailer swaying. Cripes. You only have 3 seconds from the start of the sway before it will be out of control!
