LETTER OF THE MONTH
Hi John,
We got our first caravan recently and are planning our shakedown trip. We're going to head to a weigh station so we can get the slip to show we're not overweight. But should we pack the stuff we know we might need, or fill it up entirely for the max figure and work backwards?
And what happens on longer road trips where we might add or use up weight? Are weighbridge slips still valid or do you need to get them done frequently?
Cheers, John Millgate
A Hi John,
Having an accurate idea of how much the van weighs is important. If you have time, I suggest weighing your van empty to see how much payload you should expect. Then I'd pack it as you
