Hi,

After a bit of advice if you dont mind,

Is a Nose weight Gauge an essential piece of kit,

If so, Can you recommend a decent one, that is not going to break the Bank.

Thanks in advance

Stu

Don't have one myself, but have seen a lot of people recommending this one.

We have the milenco. Despite some views I have always found the weight balance at the end of the hols to be  different than from the start of our journey. During the holiday yuu use gas so the weight at the front is lighter.  If you have just loaded a new full cylindar the weight at the front may be heavier. Food carried in the van going out has all gone when we come home so the weight in the van is lighter.

We always check the noseweight before each journey. It takes a few seconds, ensures a balanced load, and contributes towards a safe journey. We also use a Torque wrench to check the wheel nuts before we set off. So you may like to think about getting one of those as well. Halford do a good one. We also check the lights work before we set off. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people I have seen follow this routine.

I use one of these, not perfect but gives me a good idea of weight.
